Jefferies raised estimates and its price target on Melco Crown Enter. (NASDAQ: MPEL) from $8.80 to $10.90 but maintained their Neutral rating.

The firm comments, "Although FY11 result beat JEF, real challenges should be in 2012. We believe new competition across the road from April could further eat into MPEL’s market share. The story of securing the loan for the MSC is no longer exciting as its overplayed. MPEL lacks of catalysts in 2012, in our view, especially when there is increasing pressure on the COD in delivering better results. Stock fairly valued, maintain Hold."

The firm raised FY12 EPS from $0.39 to $0.53 and FY13 from $0.46 to $0.55.
