UBS Maintains a 'Buy' on Mattel Inc. (MAT); Portfolio Firing on All Cylinders Sets Stage for Strong '12

UBS maintains a 'Buy' on Mattel Inc. (NASDAQ: MAT) price target raised from $33 to $36.

UBS analyst says, "After exceeding initial Street estimates by ~10% for each of the last two yrs, we believe MAT is once again set up for a year of earnings outperformance.
