UBS maintains a 'Neutral' on Murphy Oil Corp. (NYSE: MUR) price target lowered from $66 to $60.
Analyst, William A. Featherson, said, "1Q results miss on weaker than expected R&M results...MUR lowered 2012 production guidance to 193 MBoed from 200 MBoed (the 8th full year guidance reduction in the past 9 quarters) due to reduced Tupper activity, unplanned Syncrude downtime & Kikeh workover delays. Its 2Q production target of 185 MBoed (-5% QoQ) is below consensus’ 198 MBoed & midpoint EPS guidance of $1.35-1.60 is shy of consensus’ $1.55. We’re revising 2012-13 EPS/CFPS to $5.60/$14.90 & $4.95/$14.80 from $5.60/$15.05 & $4.85/$14.80 on lower gas production and wider liquids price diffs, partly offset by lower costs."
