Wunderlich Securities reiterated its Hold rating on Sirius XM Radio (NASDAQ: SIRI). Wunderlich decided to leave its rating unchanged, even though it increased its price target on Sirius from $1.65 to $2.
In a research report published today, Wunderlich states, "We are increasing our price target on Hold-rated Sirius XM (SIRI) to $2.00 from $1.65 while leaving intact ample five-year forecast assumptions. We had lowered our Sirius XM PT on 3.23.11 largely through a revision in assumed LT growth rate to 1% from 3%; we are now pushing the assumption back to this threshold and assuming a beta of only 1.15. We continue to emphasize long-term normalization of U.S. vehicle sales and conversion rates rather than Howard Stern litigation or auto sales aberrations off Japanese output and parts supply chain noise.

In today's trading, Sirius added 0.44% to its value and is currently trading at $2.29.
