DA Davidson upgraded tw telecom (NASDAQ: TWTC) to Buy with a price target raised from $18 to $24.

DA analyst says, "Margin worries overdone: We think any margin pressure at TWTC will be short-lived and expect the new products to carry higher margins (since they are more software and network based), plus any increase in customer penetration in existing fibered buildings would carry high incremental margins."

"We are upgrading our rating and would use any weakness in the stock as a buying opportunity. We have fine-tuned our estimates slightly (down $0.01 for FY11-12 to $0.39 and $0.55, respectively), and think our 2012 estimates are conservative."
