UBS maintains a 'Neutral' on Research In Motion Ltd. (NASDAQ: RIMM) price target lowered from $15.50 to $15.

UBS analyst says, "We foresee another tough Qtr for RIM when it reports F4Q results (est. March 29), and trim estimates ahead of the qtr. We foresee Rev/EPS of $4.4b/$0.81 vs. $4.7b/$0.87 prev. (consensus $4.6b/$0.82). We believe RIM’s BB7 devices continue to struggle, Playbook sales have seen some traction on discounted pricing, with the low-end doing relatively better. We estimate 11.5m phones/375k tablet units in 4Q, with ASPs of $280/$275, respectively and GM/OM of 37.9%/11.8% vs. 3.8.1%/12.1% previously."

UBS cuts FY12 EPS estimate from $4.27 to $4.20 and FY13 from $3.05 to $3.00.
