Jefferies Maintains a 'Hold' on Laboratory Corporation (LH); Raising Numbers on Continued Shareholder Value

Jefferies maintains a 'Hold' on Laboratory Corporation of America (NYSE: LH) price target raised from $91 to $93.

Analyst, Arthur I. Henderson, said, "We are raising our FY12 estimate to $7.00 (from $6.95) to reflect the impact from assumed share repurchases. We are also establishing an FY13 estimate of $7.75 that assumes modest top line growth of 3% (1% volume and 2% net price) and expanded EBITDA margins (24.5% in 2013 up from 24.1% in 2012 and 23.4% in 2011). Margin expansion is expected from improved performance of acquired labs."
