Barclays upgraded IHS Inc. (NYSE: IHS) from Equalweight to Overweight. PT raised from $100 to $115.

Analyst, Manav Patnaik, said, "We are upgrading IHS to OW and raising our price target to $115, or 18.0x FY'13 FCF/share. We justify this multiple (which is slightly below its historical average of 18.3x) due to strong growth potential, steady execution by a solid management team, lower ERP implementation risks, and new product introductions / cross-sell ability."

Patnaik maintains YF12 EPS estimate at $2.64 and FY13 at $3.11.
