UBS maintains a 'Buy' on ACE Ltd (NYSE: ACE), raises PT from $69 to $73.

UBS analyst says, "Underlying 2011 guidance up slightly – more optimistic on top line growth: ACE now guides for 2011 EPS of $5.40–$5.70 (prior $6.10–$6.50). Excl. loss reserve releases and catastrophe losses, the new EPS guidance calls for $7.22–$7.52, up from prior $6.97-$7.37. ACE grew more optimistic about its top line growth in 2011 (sees high-single to low-double digit growth, not including any price firming following recent cat losses). We are raising our 2011E EPS to $6.50 primarily due to higher investment income and better results in the life segment. Our 2012E EPS is now $7.45, up from prior $7.40."
