Jefferies upgraded Excel Maritime (NYSE: EXM) from Sell to Hold with a price target of $2.00 (up from $1) after better than expected Q4.
The firm comments, "Last Friday, Excel reported a 4Q11 EPS loss of $0.24, excluding one-time items and unrealized interest rate derivative losses, which was in line with Street consensus but better than our estimate of an EPS loss of $0.30 due to better than expected spot charter rates earned during the quarter. Excel also announced a successful debt restructuring agreement with its banks."
The firm raised FY12 EPS from ($1.49) to ($1.41) and FY13 from ($1.20) to ($1.02).
