2348 GMT - Collins Foods' bulls at UBS think that investors are waiting for results of its expansion in Germany before rewarding the Australian fast-food franchiser with a share-price rise. Keeping a buy rating on the stock, analysts Tim Plumbe and Evan Karatzas tell clients that Germany is the strongest performing region across Collins' business. With Collins acquiring eight more KFC restaurants, UBS analysts see potential for 7% upside to their existing medium-term EPS forecasts if the Australian company can keep expanding in line with its targets. UBS lifts its target price 3.1% to A$13.50. Shares are up 0.1% at A$9.87. (stuart.condie@wsj.com)
