• CBS 100% Rate It

The firm reiterated its "Buy" rating on CBS and lifted its price target from $39 to $43. That new target suggests an 18% upside to the stock's Friday closing price of $36.34.

A Pivotal Research analyst commented, "We continue to view CBS in a very favorable light, as its valuation is supported by factors, including: Strong underlying asset values (especially under scenarios involving divestiture of the company's radio and outdoor divisions); Continuous margin improvement and cash flow generation; and Rising earnings (which we expect to be up 12% in 2013) and EPS (which should rise by 18% in 2013) favorably impacted by the company's stock buyback all contribute to support this valuation."

CBS shares were mostly flat in premarket trading Tuesday.
