Credit Suisse rates CPU as Outperform (1) - Credit Suisse has reviewed its outlook on Computershare, accounting for market and foreign exchange movements. The broker finds valuation support for the company is not as strong as it once was, but does continue to see upside potential.

The Outperform rating is retained and the target price decreases to $27.00 from $29.00.
