Global Hunter Securities downgraded US Energy Corp. (NASDAQ: USEG) from Buy to Accumulate, price target lowered from $5.00 to $4.50.

Analyst, Philip McPherson, said, "USEG posted a decent 1Q12. The company focused its E&P efforts as a non-operator in the North Dakota Bakken and the Eagle Ford Shale in Texas. The next step will be for the company to transition into an operator. The company is patiently waiting for the right opportunity to emerge. Until that time, the company continues to keep its balance sheet clean by opportunistically selling acreage at a premium to the original cost. Given the lack of short-term catalysts for the stock, we are lowering our rating."
