UBS maintains a 'Buy' on Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) price target raised $1 to $37.

Analyst, Brent Thill, said, "MSFT raising our FY13 estimates and PT to $37 as we’re seeing early signs of strong enterprise interest in its upcoming product cycle. We think the key takeaway from FQ3 was the strength in multi-year licensing revenue showing enterprise customers stepping up in advance of the product cycle and committing long-term to the MSFT platform. MSFT is seeing this buying behavior not just with EA renewals but new customers as well...FY13 estimates to $80.65B/$3.10 from $80.4B/$3.05 (Street $80.0B/$3.02).
