UBS maintains a 'Neutral' on Itron (NASDAQ: ITRI) price target raised from $39 to $46.

UBS analyst says, "We are reducing our ’12E EPS to $4.20 (was $4.25) to reflect SmartSynch dilution (guidance <10c dilution). While we see some risk to our ‘13/’14 estimates, ITRI seemed incrementally confident that European smart meter demand will pick up in ’13 and beyond, and even commented that it was concerned about its production capacity for potential 2015 demand levels. However, we continue to have some concerns about the potential profitability of the large European smart meter contracts." (UBS lowers FY13 EPS estimate from $4.65 to $4.40)
