UBS upgraded Concur Technologies (NASDAQ: CNQR) from Neutral to Buy. PT raised from $48 to $66.

UBS analyst says, "Upgrading to Buy and PT based on: 1) FQ1 rev & eps beat on strong core T&E business in seasonally slow qtr; 2) FY12 rev guide raise supported by strong FQ1 bookings after recent +35% y/y trend; 3) we expect a return to consistent small beat & raise thru the yr; 4) doubling of distribution capacity by FY13 should more than support 25% rev growth; 5) highly predictable model (95% visibility into FY) due to sticky pdt (high 90s retention) & few credible competitors; 6) abundant growth opportunities; 7) attractive M&A target."

"CNQR is one of largest SaaS vendors with attractive horizontal pdts. Past strategic software M&A typically priced at 5-9x; SAP/SFSF deal was 8.1x."
