UBS maintains a 'Neutral' on RadioShack Corp. (NYSE: RSH) price target lowered from $8 to $7.50.

UBS analyst said, "If there were such a thing as Extreme Makeover – Consumer Electronics Edition, RSH would be a prime candidate. The retailer has good bones with convenient store locations and knowledgeable store associates. But, the relevancy of its brand is not resonating with consumers. As a result, when it encounters a challenge such as an issue with one of its carriers or a heightened promotional environment, the problem becomes magnified. This has been the case the past couple of qtr’s, which has led to steep operating margin declines including ~520 bps of erosion in 4Q’11."

UBS raises FY12 EPS estimate from $0.55 to $0.71 and FY13 from $0.64 to $0.76.
