    Initiating Coverage With a Buy - Dominant BargeOperator, Engine Service NicheSummary

    We are initiating coverage on Kirby Corporation (KEX) with a Buy rating a$77 price target. Earnings remain poised to benefit from strong utilization apricing trends in its core inland tank barge segment; solid secular trends in boits barging and engine service segments (related to oil and gas shale formationand additional acquisitions on both the marine and engine service sides.

    Key Pointss Solid inland tank barge fundamentals. KEX is experiencing high fle

    utilization and favorable term and spot pricing. Sustained low natural gas pric

    have led to a more globally competitive U.S. petrochemical industry whdriving higher production levels and export activity. KEXs black oil fleetexperiencing strong demand, primarily derived by stable refinery output athe movement of domestic crude oil from the Midwest and South Texas. Amodest recovery in housing will also drive additional volume and further tightcapacity.

    s Industry consolidator. Kirbys strong management team has successfuintegrated over 40 acquisitions across its two divisions since the late 198KEX has used strong marine-related FCF to fund this market share growth. Wbelieve Kirbys material share, particularly on the marine side, and disciplinmanagement team has helped to create more stability in the inland tank barmarket. We expect Kirby will continue its accretive acquisition strategy to drigrowth in its inland and coastal marine operations, as well as engine services

    s Concern about growth trajectory of United segment. Management has statthat the biggest wildcard to its $3.85-$4.05 EPS guidance is United's land-basbusiness and the consequences of the recent rotation from drilling for naturgas to crude oil. United has seen a pause in new order activity and is anticipatia decrease in overall demand for 2012. While this will lead to tougher earnincomparisons in 2H12, KEX believes this pause will help reposition the revenstream to a more service-oriented model (higher margin).

    s Coastal segment has longer-term potential. Kirby re-entered the coastank barge market in 2011 with the purchase of K-Sea. Coastal's operatioprimarily move refined products with demand tied more closely to the overU.S. economic strength. KEX does expect Coastal will be profitable in 20(high single-digit operating margins). KEX remains focused on fine-tuniits operations, reducing costs, and seeking additional acquisitions. As 8% coastwise capacity exits the market by 2015 (S-H phase out), fundamentashould strengthen.

    s Valuation. Our $77 price target is predicated on a 17.0x P/E multiple to ocalendar 2013 EPS estimate of $4.50. This compares to the stocks 10-yeaverage of 16.6x 12-month forward consensus expectations. We believe tshares warrant an in-line to slightly higher than historical multiple as sustainlow natural prices drive the U.S. petrochemical complex.
