--10:12 am B2B gets B of A boost Banc of America analyst Bob Austrian sees the business-to-business market as a $50 trillion opportunity per year. As a result, he raised his price targets on a number of the groups key players, including Ariba (ARBA: news, msgs) to $225 from $175, Clarus (CLRS: news, msgs) to $90 from $80, Commerce One (CMRC: news, msgs) to $275 from $167 and Siebel (SEBL: news, msgs) to $120 from $67.50. He also upgraded Oracle (ORCL: news, msgs) (see 9:56 item) and Aspen (AZPN: news, msgs). Aspen's rating was changed to "strong buy" from "buy." Austrian says demand for Aspen's services should increase substantially in 2000 and its price valuation is still very attractive. Aspen shares are up 2 1/16 to 28 1/2. Ariba is now up 7 5/8 to 185, Clarus is 7 1/2 better at 73 1/2, Commerce One is climbing by 14 to 210 1/2 and Seibel is edging up 1 1/2 to 85 1/2. Austrian also notes that Manugistics (MANU: news, msgs) and I2 Technologies (ITWO: news, msgs) are B2B players. newsalert.com.
