UBS maintains a 'Buy' on Advance Auto Parts (NYSE: AAP) price target raised from $90 to $96.

UBS analyst says, "Questions always swirl around whether AAP can achieve peer level performance. We think the company is proving that it can and the fourth quarter was a powerful indication of this. The sequential DIY comp improvement, which was partly responsible for driving its 2.9% overall increase, shows that fewer distractions lead to superior execution. We expect that this will continue to be the case in 2012."

UBS raises FY12 EPS estimate from $5.75 to $5.85 and FY13 from $6.50 to $6.65.
