Williams Financial Group upgraded Diamond Offshore (NYSE: DO) to Buy with a price target of $75.00.

Analyst, Matt Beeby, said, "We are upgrading shares of DO to Buy based on our new $75 price target, and given our expectation for reduced near-term headwinds, positioning for multi-year growth and success of its recent contracting strategy. Our prior concerns on the midwater market have less substance with opportunity for shallow-water floaters outside Brazil, and execution has been visible during the first two quarters of 2012, which have provided EPS well above expectations."
