shares are trading higher by $1.83 at $129 in Friday's session. The catalyst for the move is an upgrade from UBS analyst Stephen Powers -- from Neutral to Buy -- along with a price target from $148 to $154. The ratings change instigated a higher opening ($128.69 vs. Thursday's close of $127.17) that was followed by a brief decline to $128.30 before resuming the move higher. Within thirty minutes of the open it rallied to $129.91 before retreating to its current level. That level falls in between its May 28 ($130.25) and May 29 high ($129.55). The issue has been coming a pullback from its all time high that was made on May 7 at $144.35. The ensuing decline put in a trio lows between $124.18 and $124.78 from June 8-10, that provided the foundation for rebound. The previous analyst move was made by Susquehanna on May 12 who maintained its Neutral rating but lowered its target from $127 to $121.
