UBS maintains a 'Buy' on Home Depot (NYSE: HD) price target raised from $51 to $53.
UBS analyst said, "4Q’11 headline was that HD generated a 6% comp & 40% EPS growth: This performance occurred even before the benefit of a robust housing recovery kicked in. Beneficial weather conditions provided a boost (~200 to 250 bps of comp), but trends remained strong in February after temperatures cooled across much of the country. Florida and California comped in-line to better than the average. All of these factors point to a sweet and long-lasting cyclical upturn."
UBS raises FY13 EPS estimate from $2.78 to $2.85 and FY14 from $3.12 to $3.24.
