BUZZ-UBS lifts Aptiv to 'buy', raises PT on spinoff benefits

** UBS upgrades rating on auto parts maker Aptiv APTV.N to "buy" from "neutral"

** Hikes PT to $97 from $89; new PT implies an upside of about 38% from the stock's last close

** Shares of the company marginally up at $70 in early trade

** Says separation will give investors clearer visibility into cash flows and margins at both Aptiv and upcoming spin-off of its electrical distribution systems business, Versigent

** Adds the spin-off should sharpen co's focus on higher-growth automotive technology businesses and improve the quality of earnings
