UBS maintains a 'Buy' on Visteon (NYSE: VC) price target raised from $73 to $79.

Analyst, Colin Langan, said, "Adjusted EPS of $0.69 was better than consensus of $0.65, but largely driven by taxes (~$0.20). Adjusted EBITDA of $139m (ex. $11m lighting) missed our $147m estimate. Moreover, we are sceptical that the $50m reduction to adjusted EBITDA guidance is purely related to the divesture and sale-leaseback. We estimate that the underlying EBITDA revision to continuing operations is ~$20m...Despite the guidance revision and Q1 adjusted EBITDA miss, we still remain bullish."

FY12 EPS estimate cut from $4.00 to $3.15 and FY13 lowered from $5.45 to $4.80.
