UBS maintains a 'Neutral' on Henry Schein (NASDAQ: HSIC) price target raised from $73 to $79.

Analyst, Steven Valiquette, said, "HSIC reported 1Q12 results included several moving parts, with management confirming that overall milder weather likely played some role in the better-than-expected sales results in 1Q12, particularly in North America. Moreover, the company also discussed potential adjustments to the reported sales figures for the fact that the critical holiday week around year-end was included in calendar 1Q for some segments, but in calendar 4Q for other segments."

UBS analyst raises FY12/13 EPS estimate from $4.34/$4.85 to $4.40/$4.91, citing strength in all segment and better cost controls.
