The firm's analysts wrote, "Our target price of $94 is based on ourdiscounted cash flow model and implies 2% upside from current levels thatis consistent with the peer group, thus warranting a Neutral rating, inour view. Despite earnings risk, we believe the attractive relativevaluation, restart of the share buyback program (1.8 million shares thusfar in the second quarter of 2010), and the shift to a dividend
