UBS maintains a 'Sell' on Lamar Advertising (NASDAQ: LAMR) price target raised $2 to $18.

UBS analyst says, "LAMR reported a strong 3Q with rev +3.2% vs. our 0.9% (Street +1.6%) and EBITDA of $133M vs. our $129M (Street: $130M). LAMR guided to +2.5% rev growth in 4Q, however, we are conservatively raising our PF 4Q/’12 rev growth to +2.3%/2.2% vs. prior +0.5%/0.9%, as we still have concerns on a NT slowing macro and LT secular pressures. We are increasing exp growth to +2.5%/1.8% vs. prior +1.5%. Net-net, our 4Q/‘12 EBITDA is $119M/$495M (vs. prior $112M/$462M). While we admit there are few NT catalysts, we maintain our Sell."
