Morgan Joseph initiates coverage on U.S. Auto Parts Network (NASDAQ: PRTS) with a Buy. PT $10.

Morgan analyst says, "With roughly 13mm monthly visitors to its Web sites, U.S. Auto Parts receives more comparable hits than the top four brick-and-mortar automotive aftermarket retailers combined. Commanding roughly one-third of the online automotive aftermarket e-commerce share, U.S. Auto Parts, in our opinion, appears well positioned to benefit from a growing trend of online activity."

"With the brick-and-mortar retailers beginning to invest in their online businesses, we think U.S. Auto Parts could, in turn, become an intriguing acquisition target for a retailer looking to make an immediate splash in the online market."
