Jefferies trimmed estimates but raised its price target on Buy-rated U.S. Physical Therapy (NASDAQ: USPH) from $24 to $26.
The firm comments, "We were very encouraged by USPH's first positive organic volume growth quarter since 3Q08 and believe that the company's volume growth momentum, coupled with its favorable reimbursement outlook and likely upside from unannounced acquisitions, will drive good stock performance this year. Given its growth trajectory and current outpatient PT sector valuations, we continue to believe that USPH is grossly undervalued at 13x FY12 P/E."
FY12 EPS goes down from $1.54 to $1.51 and FY13 goes down from $1.70 to $1.68.
