UBS maintains a 'Neutral' on Nabors (NYSE: NBR) price target raised $1 to $17.

Analyst, Angie Sedita, said, "NBR is making progress in their strategic reorganization, closing additional asset sales of $91 mil this qtr (Colombian E&P assets and U.S. rig moving operations). NBR also plans to complete sales of other non-core assets / oil E&P assets that could amount to $525-$725 mil before year-end. Although the company is taking the right steps, it will take time to execute and some of the assets (offshore rigs) will likely be difficult to sell. Additionally, we expect headwinds to continue over the next few quarters for both the U.S. land and pressure pumping business."

UBS raised FY12 EPS estimate from $2.11 to $2.24, but lowers FY13 from $2.64 to $2.58.
