Jefferies maintains a 'Buy' on Crown Holdings (NYSE: CCK) price target of $42.00 (from $44.00).

Analyst, Philip Ng, said, "While Europe is slowing, the more important takeaway following a series of investor meetings with Tim Donahue (CFO) is FCF remains strong and should accelerate sharply in 2013. With mgmt's recent comments signaling that it's taking a more balanced approach towards growth and returning cash to shareholders, it should appease the market and help close the gap on its relative underperformance with its peers."

FY12 EPS estimate lowered from $3.03 to $2.91 and FY13 from $3.77 to $3.49.
