Credit Suisse maintains an 'Outperform' on Celanese (NYSE: CE), PT increased from $58 to $65.

Credit Suisse analyst says, "Following CE's investor day (we highlighted as a catalyst in our 4/2 webcast) it remains clear that despite the solid run in the stock, significant upside remains looking out over the next 12-months and next few years."

"With the above as well as solid growth from the new technologies/platforms (in AEM), various other expansions, and emerging market growth (mostly China), CE updated its 2013 guidance to "at least $6 of EPS" (vs. its prior $5.50-6.50 guidance) with the street at $5.64, and we believe there is upside to that especially with any price hikes going forward...Further, we believe CE will reach the mid-$70s in the next 24-months as it gets closer to the launch of their ethanol platform."
