Jefferies boosted its price target on Buy-rated Jack In The Box (NASDAQ: JACK) from $32 to $37 following solid Q4 results.

The firm comments, "We see meaningful upside to Street EPS and believe the valuation has plenty of room to expand from current 7.3x C13 & 6.5x F14 (Sep) EV/EBITDA. This is well below peers at 8.5x-12x & 8-11x, respectively. F1Q EPS (+115%) showed strong margin gains & demonstrated JACK's continued success executing its restructuring initiatives. Guide for F13 (+30%) & F14 (+29%) above Street & we believe is conservative."

The cut Q2 EPS from $0.36 to $0.30 but raised FY13 from $1.60 to $1.63.
