Global Hunter Securities upgraded Excel Maritime (NYSE: EXM) from Reduce to Neutral.

Analyst, Natasha Boyden, said, " We initiated coverage of EXM back on May 22 with a Reduce rating. The stock has fallen 78% since the beginning of 2Q:12. Although we expect the stock could have further downside pressure from here as management looks to issue the $30 million in required equity by the end of 2012, we suggest investors wait on the sidelines. We are raising our rating to Neutral."

"...While we maintain our 2Q:12 EPS estimate of ($0.38), we lowered our 2012 and 2013 EPS estimates to ($1.53) and ($1.23), respectively, and our 2012 and 2013 EBITDA estimates to $64 million and $54 million, respectively."
