Global Hunter Securities reiterates a 'Buy' on Hornbeck Offshore (NYSE: HOS) price target raised from $50 to $52.

Analyst, Jeff Spittel, said, "HOS remains one of our top picks in the OFS space. We are reiterating our rating and raising our price target as neither cost escalation nor the potential for vessel mobilizations out of Brazil took us by surprise. Lest we forget that HOS shares peaked during the last cycle at roughly $60/share on a $4.00 peak earnings run rate. We believe that peak earnings in the current cycle will comfortably exceed $4.00 due to the company's increasingly high spec fleet and the potential for heightened boat to rig intensity in deepwater."
