Barclays reiterates an 'Overweight' on Liberty Global (NASDAQ: LBTYA) price target raised from $48 to $56.

Analyst, James M. Ratcliffe, said, "We continue to find LGI's combination of healthy growth (5-6% EBITDA growth in 2012, even with the costs of KBW integration and the impact of a full year of Telenet soccer costs) and a shareholder-friendly capital structure appealing."

Other highlighted points include: 1) Expect Ziggo IPO to Support LGI Valuation; 2) Expecting 2012 to be a Quiet M&A Year; 3) Austar Sale Prospects Look Good; and 4) Expecting 5-6% Organic Revenue and EBITDA Growth in 2012E.
