UBS reiterates a 'Neutral' on Dr Pepper Snapple (NYSE: DPS) price target of $45.00 (from $43.00).
Analyst, Kaumil S. Gajrawala, said, "We are increasing our 2012 EPS estimate to $2.95 (from $2.93), to reflect: 1) the $0.03 EPS beat in 2Q, and 2) an improving commodity cost outlook (flat in 3Q, up 3% in 4Q) offset by a higher tax rate in the back half. We are forecasting flat volumes with 3% pricing. COGS inflation is expected to be +2%, resulting in slight gross margin expansion." (FY13 from $3.28 to $3.32)
Keeps Neutral rating as management continues making the right moves/strategy, however, still negative n-t volumes and increasing competitive marketplace.
