UBS maintains a 'Buy' on Swift Transportation (NYSE: SWFT) price target raised from $13.50 to $15.50.
UBS analyst says, "Investment thesis: quality results + delevering = valuation convergence: The recent moderation in macro fears combined with some incremental balance sheet delevering at Swift has largely eliminated the “fear discount” in the stock, and two strong quarterly results now have catalyzed some outperformance vs. the market. This remains our thesis, and while the first part is somewhat macro-dependent we have high conviction Swift can continue to make the case that its overall “quality” is closer to its peers (Werner (Nasdaq: WERN), Knight (NYSE: KNX) & Heartland Express (Nasdaq: HTLD)) than its valuation implies, causing the latter to continue to correct higher."
UBS raises FY12 EPS estimate from $0.90 to $0.93 and FY13 from $1.05 to $1.10.
