Jefferies maintains a 'Buy' on Hain Celestial (NASDAQ: HAIN) price target of $80.00 (from $55.00).

Analyst, Scott A. Mushkin, said, "HAIN reported a strong 4Q, driven by performance in the U.S. and surprisingly good results out of the U.K./Europe. While the outlook for business in North America appears to be accelerating, HAIN is also showing good strategic vision as demonstrated by the acquisition of certain Premier Foods plc brands. This combination continues to suggest that the stock remains a core growth holding."

Raising FY13 EPS estimate from $2.30 to $2.85.
