Barclays maintains an 'Equalweight' on Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) price target raised from $29 to $33.
Analyst, Raimo Lenschow, said, "We continue to see an opportunity for Microsoft in the coming months. Besides the excitement around the Windows 8 launch later this year, there are also signs that Office 15 could launch in Q1 CY2013, in effect resulting in two large product cycles within one financial year (FY2013). We believe neither event is yet captured in Street models and hence could continue to improve sentiment around the name."
"While FY2013 could be a large year for Microsoft, we still believe the structural concerns are not resolved and hence maintain our Equal Weight rating."
