Collins Stewart reiterates a 'Buy' on Baidu (NASDAQ: BIDU) price target raised from $205 to $215.

Collins analyst says, "We are increasing 4Q revenues by 8% but keeping PF EPS the same given Qiyi investment. We are raising 2012 revenue and PF EPS by 5%. Our price target of $215 is based on 45x our new C2012 PF EPS of $4.78 or a 0.9x PEG and implies a 45% upside from after-hours price. Reiterate BUY, due to strong growth prospects from China search market growth, share gains, upside to estimates from non-search initiatives and Google's potential complete exit from China."
