Barclays maintains an 'Overweight' on Bunge (NYSE: BG) price target raised $1 to $80.00.

Analyst, Farooq Hamed, felt that BG actually reported Q1 EPS of around $0.69 (adjusting the headline number of $0.57 for one-time items). However, this was still significantly lower that $1.18 consensus estimate. Hamed noted weakness in Sugar and Fertilizer segments. Although, Hamed felt that BG's Ag business helped that company report Q1 revenues of $13.4 billion (vs. Barclays estimate of $12.6 bln).

Barclays cuts from FY12 EPS estimate from $7.33 to $6.61 and FY13 from $7.78 to $7.35.
