UPDATE - UBS upgraded Abercrombie & Fitch (NYSE: ANF) from Neutral to Buy. PT raised from $51 to $66.

Analyst, Roxanne Meyer, said, "We are upgrading ANF given a more favorable risk/reward assessment with better upside potential to EPS estimates in 2012 and beyond. Our constructive view is based on: 1) US trends inline with muted expectations given Q1 industry strength and our recent store checks which reflect a moderation of YOY promo levels, 2) our belief that European trends are stabilizing, and 3) our analysis of the impact of US store closings/growth of higher margin int’l and DTC over the next few yrs highlights conservatism in our (upwardly revised) base-case."

"We are raising our ‘12 estimate to $3.65 from $3.53, ’13 estimate to $4.70 from $4.66."
