Jefferies maintains a 'Hold' on PerkinElmer (NYSE: PKI) price target raised from $23 to $27.
Jefferies analyst says, "PKI's 4Q11 adjusted EPS of $0.62 was materially ahead of consensus (+$0.11) on stronger core revenue growth (+6% vs. our +4%) and profit trends, as well as a discrete timing-related benefit from the mid-4Q11 closing of the recent CALP acquisition (+$0.03). We are raising our 2012 EPS forecast to $2.01 (from $1.85)...Our PT moves to $27 on higher cash flow forecasts."
"Our focus remains on PKI's ability to consistently drive OP margin expansion and demonstrate progress towards a respectable cash-on-cash return on the >$1B of capital it will have spent on acquisitions over the past 24 months. Greater confidence in its pathway on both fronts would offer justification to revisit our neutral investment disposition."
