UBS maintains a 'Buy' on Dick's Sporting Goods (NYSE: DKS) price target raised from $45 to $52.

UBS analyst says, "With storylines ranging from accelerating unit growth (above the 8% it achieved in ’11) to easier comparisons due to weather and execution slip-ups, DKS’ shares are set up very well for the coming 12 months and beyond. Next week, the market will get a first look at how Dick’s is planning for 2012. This has a good chance to be a positive near-term catalyst for the stock. We like the risk-reward into the event."

UBS raises FY12 EPS estimate from $2.00 to $2.02 and FY13 from $2.35 to $2.50.
