Jefferies raised its price target and estimates on Quaker Chemical Corporation (NYSE: KWR) from $51 to $62 following solid Q3 results. The firm reiterated their Buy rating.

"Quaker delivered a solid Q3 result despite a $0.04 headwind from F/X and choppy end markets," the analyst notes. "Easing raw material pressures should at least partly offset any incremental weakness in demand in 1H13, whereas M&A and market share gains should continue to drive growth over the next few years faster than Quaker's main end markets."

Q4 EPS goes up from $0.66 to $0.74, FY12 goes up from $3.30 to $3.40 and FY13 goes down from $3.95 to $3.80.
