Barclays maintains an 'Overweight' on Family Dollar Stores Inc. (NYSE: FDO) price target raised from $63 to $68.

Analyst, Meredith Adler, said, "Our view of the company began to get more positive last fall when we saw that FDO was moving into a new phase of operations that included a greater focus on store level execution and the creation of a more relevant and appealing customer offering...Given the strong EPS growth achieved over the past 15 quarters and the still-reasonable valuation, we think the stock offers an attractive buying opportunity right now."

Barclays raises FY12/13 EPS estimate by $0.02 each to $3.74/4.43, respectively.
