Keefe, Bruyette & Woods upgrades Intercontinental Exchange (NYSE: ICE) to Market Perform

Keefe analyst says, "ICE reported EPS of $1.12 for 2Q09, in-line with consensus and missing KBW's estimate of $1.15. Slightly better-than- expected revenue was more than offset by higher-than-expected SG&A expense. ICE also extended its $200 million buyback plan to Feb 2010. We upgrade ICE to Market Perform and tweak our price target higher to $103 from $98. Lowering estimates for FY09 from $4.51 to $4.24 and FY10 from $5.58 to $5.15."
