Wedbush upgraded Nu Skin Enterprises (NYSE: NUS) from Neutral to Outperform, price target raised from $40 to $48.

Wedbush analyst says, "Expect major upcoming product launches to be key fundamental catalyst to further strengthen recruiting trends and distributor productivity, as well as deliver upside to consensus forecasts in 2012. Based on highly favorable feedback and encouraging pre-launch enthusiasm from senior-level Nu Skin distributors we have surveyed, we believe the upcoming fall launches of a new ageLOC skin care product for the body (and related new Galvanic Spa device), and a new nutritional supplement called R2, will act as key fundamental catalysts to earnings performance in upcoming quarters...we are increasing our 2012 forecasts for revenue, to $1.820 billion from $1.794 billion, and for EPS, to $2.93 from $2.85."
