UBS maintains a 'Buy' on WESCO International (NYSE: WCC) price target raised $1 to $74.00.

Analyst, Steven Fisher, said, "Q1 EPS of $1.03 ($0.99 ex-$0.04/sh benefit from an interest adjustment) beat the Street of $0.96. Revs of $1.61b (Street of $1.58b) were +12.2% y/y vs. Q1 guidance of 7-11% y/y (the 12.2% was 9.8% ex M&A of 2.6% and f/x of -0.2%)."

"We are a bit concerned that the beats/raises may not be as strong as they have been, but assuming industrial sales remain solid and WCC continues to gain share in construction and utilities, we expect WCC to meet or exceed its near term targets. Should WCC do any further M&A, which seems likely, there could be upside to our ests for 2012/13."
