UBS reiterates a 'Buy' on Lear (NYSE: LEA) price target of $63.00 (from $59.00).

Analyst, Colin Langan, said, "Q2 adjusted EPS beat expectations on better sales and margins...LEA continues to execute well; revenues & margins steady...We are raising our 2012 EPS estimate from $5.20 to $5.30 to reflect the Q2 beat; however, we have adjusted our H2 estimate to be somewhat conservative (currently near mid-point of guidance vs. the high-end previously). We are raising our 2013E & 2014E EPS by $0.15 and 2015E & 2016E EPS by $0.25, to reflect the higher earnings base and slightly improved Seating margins."
