UBS maintains a 'Neutral' on Flowserve Corp. (NYSE: FLS), PT lowered from $138 to $121.

UBS analyst says, "Expect less robust long cycle bookings given macro, project delays - Backlogs post 1Q at relevant E&Cs were about flat sequentially ex-mining and construction where FLS has little exposure, and commentary suggests large projects are getting pushed out. Intra-quarter activity has been light and yesterday’s F3Q report from SHAW saw bookings -27%, with particular weakness in the FLS-relevant Energy & Chemical segment, and comments on delays in nuclear. Comps also toughen given an $80mn Engineered Products Division (EPD) order and initial restocking activity in 2Q10...Attractive LT fundamental outlook remains intact." (UBS lowers FY11 EPS estimate from $7.90 to $7.85 and FY12 from $9.00 to $8.80)
