Jefferies maintains a 'Buy' on Airgas (NYSE: ARG), price target raised from $82 to $93.

Jefferies analyst says, "Following an in-line Q3 and modestly optimistic view on Q4, we expect Airgas shares to be range-bound near-term. We are trimming 2012E $0.03 to $4.07, but, giving credit for half of the targeted SAP (NYSE: SAP) savings, raising 2013E $0.20 to $4.50 and setting 2014E at $5.95."
