Analyst raises Kendle rating

        The stock of Kendle International got a lift Wednesday after J.C. Bradford analyst David Windley raised his rating to “strong buy” from “buy” on the Cincinnati-based contract research organization.

        Kendle closed at $21.50, up $1.25. Mr. Windley said Kendle's stock price is “unrealistically low” based on its prospects. Kendle has grown into a $90 million global concern from a $13 million domestic business in the past 18 months. Still, the stock has lost 26 percent of its value since mid-January and has yet to match its 52-week high of $35 from mid-July.
