UBS maintains a 'Buy' on Advance Auto Parts (NYSE: AAP) price target raised from $74 to $90.
UBS analyst said, "Our thesis is that the company is primed for more consistent execution following several years of changes under the current leadership team. As AAP develops a steadier track record of performance, it will provide the basis to believe that a 12% LT op. margin is achievable (especially vs. O'Reilly's (Nasdaq: ORLY) 14.6% margin and AutoZone's (NYSE: AZO) of 18.5%.) This credibility will enable its valuation to close the gap with its peer group. AAP’s PE currently stands at a 20% discount to its peers, which ignores the potential of its relative performance, in our view."
UBS slightly raises FY11 EPS estimate from $4.98 to $5.00 and FY12 from $5.67 to $5.75.
