UBS maintains a 'Buy' on Veeco Instruments Inc. (NASDAQ: VECO) price target raised from $36 to $42.
Analyst, Stephen Chin, said, "Veeco's 1Q12 sales and non-GAAP EPS of $140M and $0.49 exceeded guidance of $128M and $0.24 with EPS upside from better gross margin of 46.7% (270bps higher than guidance) and lower opex of $43M versus its $48M guidance...Veeco guided 2Q12 sales and non-GAAP EPS to $133M and $0.39 vs. consensus of $128M and $0.23 (we believe Veeco likely maintains its share at 60%). Veeco kept its full year 2012 sales guidance at $550M (1H12 is $273M) which suggests its EPS could be around $1.70 vs. consensus of $1.09. Our new 2012 and 2013 EPS estimates are $1.70 and $2.80 compared to $1.35 and $2.75 previously."
