Jefferies raised estimates and its price target on Buy-rated IDEX Corp (NYSE: IEX) from $49 to $50 after strong Q4.

The firm comments, "4Q11 EPS from ops increased 19% and exceeded expectations on broad-based sales growth. Core orders were flat in 4Q owing to several factors, but January orders accelerated. 2012 guidance captures our/Street forecasts. We believe there are multiple earnings drivers and there is good visibility on guidance."
