Signs of Solid Q2 at American Eagle (AEO) - Analyst May 22, 2013 02:19PM

Wedbush today maintained an Outperform rating on American Eagle Outfitters (NYSE: AEO) with a modified price target of $25.00 (from $24.00). This morning American Eagle reported Q1 results. Analyst Betty Chen sees signs of a solid Q2.

Commenting, Chen said, "We believe the stock should react favorably to a solid Q1 beat and signs of positive early Q2. With more favorable weather, management cited a linear improvement to April, along with positive early reads on faster-selling fashion items and building momentum in knits continuing into May (with warmer
regions seeing a pop), implying flat Q2 comp guidance may prove conservative."

Wedbush Expects Positive Results from Insmed (INSM) ARIKAC Trial May 22, 2013 01:58PM

Wedbush today maintained an Outperform rating on Insmed (NASDAQ: INSM) and raised its price target to $18.00 (from $11.00). Analyst Gregory R. Wade expects a positive outcome from ARIKACE Phase III trial for CF.

"We believe that ARIKACE will meet the Phase III trial’s primary endpoint of non-inferiority to TOBI in change from baseline in FEV1 and could potentially show superiority. Positive results from the trial will support an NDA submission in the EU and US in late 2013/early 2014. We see upside to our $18 price target should ARIKACE be shown to be numerically and/or statistically superior to TOBI as we believe this data would further set the product apart in the CF market place," said Gregory R. Wade.

UBS Raises PT on MEMC (WFR); Thinks Semi Sales Troughed in Q1 May 22, 2013 11:47AM

UBS today maintained a Buy rating on MEMC Electronic Materials (NYSE: WFR) and raised its price target to $8.00 (from $5.75). Analyst Stephen Chin thinks semi sales toughed in Q1.

"Our checks find that semi wafer starts likely troughed in 1Q13 at -2% q/q and have already seen 3 consecutive monthly increases in wafer demand with February up +15%, March +2%, and April +21% m/m, which supports our 1Q13 trough thesis. We estimate MEMC’s quarterly semi wafer sales breakeven at $225M and believe a $275M sales run rate is required to achieve its long term target operating margin of 10%, and note that MEMC produces almost 50% of its semi wafers in Japan," said Chin.
