Goldman Sachs upgraded Rubicon Technology (NASDAQ: RBCN) from Sell to Neutral with a price target of $9.00 (from $7.50) citing better risk/reward.

The firm said pricing for LED sapphire will remain relatively firm – albeit depressed – and is now at a fundamental bottom. In addition, the non-LED segments provide potential upside to top-line growth in the near-to-medium term.

Goldman raised 2012E-14E EPS by 5%/19%/29% to ($0.24)/$0.50/$0.60 owing largely to higher blended ASP and margin assumptions.
