Morgan Keegan sees Ruby Tuesday (NYSE: RT) as reinventing itself as it "trumps industry trends."

The firm sees sales on an upward trend, fueled by better marketing, new menu items, and a refreshed image. The combination will help guests to rediscover Ruby Tuesday, the firm says.

Ruby Tuesday is aiming to increase check totals to between $12.50 - $14.50, as current levels hover around $11.

Because of its ability to pay down debt and sure-up liquidity concerns, Ruby Tuesday is now more in-line with its peers, adding to its ability to grow.

Ruby Tuesday is up $1.20 to $9.11 at mid-day trading.
