UBS maintains a 'Buy' on International Game Tech (NYSE: IGT) price target of $18.00 (from $20.00).

Analyst, Robin M. Farley, said, "FY12 guidance unchanged at $0.98-$1.04, but now seems to include $0.01-$0.02 of accretion from June’s share repo announcement which was not in guidance. Guidance now also includes 2,000-3,000 unit sales to Canada and 200-300 in Illinois in FQ4, not previously in the FY’12 guidance range and adding roughly $0.03-0.04 to EPS. IGT shipped 12,600 units in its product sales in Q3’12 vs. 11,600 recognized for the quarter. We estimate the delta could have shifted $0.01-$0.02 into Q4. FY’12 guidance implies Q4 EPS range of ~$0.32 to $0.38."

FY12 EPS estimate cut from $1.08 to $0.95 and FY13 from $1.34 to $1.17.
