UBS maintains a 'Buy' on Buckeye (NYSE: BPL) price target lowered from $74 to $70.

UBS analyst says, "4Q EPU of $0.64 missed UBSe/cons $0.82/$0.85, largely on weakness in Buckeye Energy Services (“BES”; we est ~$0.15 of the miss) due to poor weather and lack of basis differentials. While we lower our PT to reflect likely ‘12 weakness in BES and nat gas storage, we maintain our Buy rating, as we continue to forecast profit growth in Pipelines and BORCO (BPL’s two largest segments), and we still expect ‘12 distribution growth of ~5% in addition to BPL’s current 6.6% annual yield."

UBS cuts FY12 EPS estimate from $3.52 to $3.00.
