Oppenheimer maintains an 'Outperform' on New Oriental Education (NYSE: EDU) price target of $35.00.

Analyst, Ella Ji, said, "We remain positive on EDU despite its recent weakness, which may be attributable to concerns over: 1) China macro headwinds and 2 )the declining number of Gaokao test takers. We found both ungrounded. Our recent visit to EDU's L/Cs suggests summer enrollment stays strong and that EDU continues enjoying pricing power in its core offerings."

"The shares dropped 12% in the past 10 trading days vs. MSCI China's 3% gain. At 20x our FY13E EPS, we view current valuation attractive for a resilient, FCF-rich company with a 28% EPS CAGR." (Q4 EPS estimate raised from $0.14 to $0.15)
