Wedbush Morgan Securities analyst Jeff Mintz raised his share price target to $51 from $46, implying 12 percent upside from Tuesday's closing price of $45.58, in a note to investors.

Mintz said he expects a 15 percent increase in revenue from licensing Calvin Klein products, adding that recent robust earnings from Calvin Klein's parent, Warnaco Group Inc., bode well for Phillips-Van Heusen.

"(Phillips-Van Heusen) is positioned to emerge from the consumer slowdown in a strong competitive position," Mintz said.

He raised his 2008 earnings outlook to by 2 cents per share to $3.40 per share, and his 2009 estimate by 3 cents per share to $3.88 per share.

Shares of Phillips gained $1.76, or 3.9 percent, to $47.34 in morning trading.
