Analyst EPS Change

Nomura Securities maintains a 'Buy' on Melco Crown Entertainment (NASDAQ: MPEL) price target raised to $17.50.

Analyst, Charlene Liu, said, "Post 1Q12 results and a recent company visit, we lift our estimates and target price. We are encouraged by 1) potential margin improvement from MPEL’s continual business mix shift toward mass and non-gaming (>60% of group’s EBITDA in non-VIP); 2) potential earnings upside from its new premium mass facilities and its overall mass business at the City of Dreams, which could benefit from traffic from the new Sands Cotai Central; and 3) stabilizing VIP volume growth from continuous efforts to improve yield through replacing less-efficient junkets. F12E/F13E EPS moves from $12.75/$18.46 to $17.96/$19.43."

Nomura Securities maintains a 'Neutral' on Alcatel-Lucent (NYSE: ALU) price target of $1.27.

Analyst, Stuart Jeffrey, said, "New 7950 XRS core router beats rivals solutions on speed, density and feature sets. Relative to prior expectations, the product is set to launch slightly earlier than we had thought and boasts greater density levels. We believe that this positions Alcatel-Lucent well to gain between a 10% and 20% share of the core router market by end-2014. We have modestly raised our 2013/14 revenue estimates by 0.4%/1.1%, while 2014 recurring EPS is increased to EUR 0.09 from EUR 0.08. ALU’s rating remains Neutral on liquidity concerns, Cisco (Nasdaq: CSCO) remains Buy rated given low multiples and core share gains are already in estimates, Juniper (Nasdaq: JNPR) remains Neutral with a negative bias given headwinds to long-term growth."

Nomura Securities reiterates a 'Buy' on American Eagle Outfitters (NYSE: AEO) price target of $24.00.

Analyst, Paul Lejuez, said, "Following AEO’s sector leading +17% comp in 1Q, the company is guiding to +mid single digit comps in 2Q, well above trends at primary teen competitors. We believe AEO’s fashion is on target and the company is taking share and driving the top line while pulling back on promotions. We expect leaner inventories in 2H to drive significant GM increases and believe the company will be well positioned with down high single-digit unit buys while teen competitors seem ready to buy units up. F12E/F13E EPS from $1.28/$1.49 to $1.44/$1.66 (reflecting $0.10 from 77kids closure). Trading at 5.5x F12E EBTDA, valuation is attractive."

Canaccord Genuity reiterates a 'Buy' on InterMune Inc. (NASDAQ: ITMN) price target lowered from $24 to $15.

Analyst, Ritu Baral, said, "Reiterate rating, lowering target to $15 on lower, but still blockbuster, Esbriet (pirfenidone) sales prospects. Esbriet is ITMN’s drug for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), an orphan lung disease. We see good Esbriet EU potential (despite price concerns) and encouraging 2012 adoption, but are reducing our worldwide peak sales estimate to $2.1B from $3.6B in 2025."

Canaccord Genuity maintains a 'Hold' on Pandora (NYSE: P) price target of $13.00.

Analyst, Michael Graham, said, "Pandora reported a solid quarter that we believe brushed aside some of the worst fears about the company’s business model following its lackluster performance during Q4/F12. We are encouraged to see that the remnant ad impact on the top line was isolated to January, but we believe the company still remains a long distance away from being able to monetize mobile usage at rates similar to desktop."

"We are increasing our estimates to reflect management’s more positive outlook for the business but remain cognizant of the challenges the company is facing in monetizing mobile usage."
