Needham & Company reiterates a 'Buy' on Ultra Clean (NASDAQ: UCTT) price target raised from $9 to $10.

Analyst, Y. Edwin Mok, says, "UCTT reported 4Q11 results that beat recently raised guidance and provided a robust 1Q12 outlook. Similar to peers, management stated that business in the semi equipment sector is experiencing a strong recovery, partially offset by weakness in several non-semi areas, including MOCVD, FPD and Solar equipment. Additionally, UCTT announced a new win in the scientific instrument sector, which could drive growth in 2013 and beyond. Given the strong near-term trend, we expect revenue growth to extend beyond 1Q12, and therefore we reiterate our rating...We increase our 2012 revenue/EPS estimates to $430MM/$0.66 and 2013 to $470MM/$0.89."
