    Finally some other analysts are weighing in besides Wienkes. It's not much to read (no target, no guidance) but, hey, its an upgrade.

    From Yahoo boards, didn't have a link so take it for what its worth. Looks legit to me:

    Rating Changes
    Sirius Satellite Radio Inc. (SIRI, US$1.92, C-1-9) Up to Buy
    on price weakness, bullish view on synergies.
    We are upgrading our rating for SIRI from Neutral to Buy & Lowering PO from
    $2.80 to $2.70 following the substantial recent decline in the shares & the release
    of bullish management guidance for 2009. Weak auto sales create a risk to our
    near-term subscriber forecasts but should have only a minor impact on long-term
    value. Refinancing of XM’s debt is under way. Sirius management has announced
    preliminary 2009 post-merger guidance, including $400mn in merger synergies,
    positive free cash flow & $300mn in EBITDA. We estimate that the current share
    price is discounting ~30mn subs in 2017E with a terminal margin of 37%
