UBS reiterates a 'Buy' on Qualcomm (NASDAQ: QCOM) price target of $73.00 (from $78.00).

Analyst, Parag Agarwal, said, "We lower our estimates for QCOM driven primarily by a challenging macro environment and strengthening US dollar, which will likely result in lower royalty revenue...we believe that at current valuation level of ex-cash NTM PE of ~10x (vs. last 5 year mean of 14x), the stock offers a compelling buying opportunity as the launch of new phones such as iPhone 5 and ramp in Samsung’s Galaxy S3 should provide a tailwind for both royalty and chipset revenues in C2H12."

FY12 EPS estimate cut from $3.40 to $3.31 and FY13 from $4.20 to $4.03. FY12 revenues cut from $19.9B to $19.4B. FY13 revs from $23.7B to $22.7B.
