Jefferies raised its price target on Hold-rated Quest Diagnostics (NYSE: DGX) from $61 to $66 following Q4 results.

The firm comments, "Good Q4 results along with prospects for improved volumes and expanded margins have given investors a shot of confidence in DGX and other healthcare service stocks. Looking ahead, though, we expect the momentum in DGX's stock price to taper a bit as we wait for (1) the announcement of a new CEO, (2) further evidence of improved utilization trends and (3) increased reimbursement visibility."
