Dougherty & Co upgraded Echelon (NASDAQ: ELON) from Neutral to Buy. PT increased from $10 to $12.

Dougherty analyst says, "We increased our multiple from 2.0x FY12 EV/S based on the company’s broader utility customer base, increasing global opportunities, and potential for upside. The company’s new strategy to aggressively pursue sales (see note dated February 11, 2011) appears to be working. We continue to believe ELON can reach pro forma profitability in FY12. Our model calls for a pro forma profit of $0.02, which may prove conservative."
