Nuance Shares Rise After Upgrade to 'Buy' on Recent Stock Drop, '08 Growth Opportunities

NEW YORK (AP) -- Shares of software maker Nuance Communications Inc. rose Friday morning after an analyst upgraded company shares to "Buy" from "Hold," saying a recent share drop sufficiently discounts potential risks in 2008.

The stock gained 48 cents, or 3 percent, to $16.52 after the opening bell. Shares have lost 23.9 percent since Nov. 7.

Nuance, which makes speech recognition and digital imaging software, "is looking at significant growth opportunities" in its mobile, call center and health care units in 2008 due to a litany of factors, Citi Investment Research analyst Brent Thill said in a client note.

He kept his $23 price target, a 43.3 percent upside from Thursday's close of $16.05, and recommended "investors buy this dominant provider of speech technology."
