Jefferies reiterates a 'Buy' on Penford Corp. (NASDAQ: PENX) price target of $11.00 (from $9.00).

Analyst, Laurence Alexander, said, "We are trimming 2012E $0.05 to $0.15 and 2013E $0.05 to $0.55 to better reflect likely margin pressure on the ethanol business. We expect the shares to be range-bound near-term on margin concerns, with the next leg up hinging on evidence of better pricing, growth in bio-latex, or better ethanol market dynamics."
