Jefferies lifted its price target on HMS Holdings (NASDAQ: HMSY) Monday from $29 to $34 following meetings with CFO Walter Hosp.
The stock remains their Top Pick in the sector given: (1) positive thematic momentum through 2013 with its growth leveraged to Medicaid expansion; (2) conservative 2013 guidance; (3) accelerating growth in '14 and '15; and (4) considerable investor interest in the stock.
The firm raised FY12 EPS from $0.97 to $0.98 and FY13 EPS $1.29 to $1.31.
With the Q4 consensus dropping since their upgrade, lower expectations are discounted in the stock, the firm notes.
