Jefferies raised its price target and adjusted EPS estimates on Lance, Inc. (NASDAQ: LNCE) while reiterating its Buy rating.

The firm's price target moves from $23 to $25. FY12 EPS goes from $1.10 to $0.93 and FY13 was maintained at $1.24.

The firm comments, "We continue to see significant opportunity for Snyder’s-Lance to drive stronger sales and profitability, which should begin to be realized in 2H12, as LNCE completes its route conversion process mid-year and begins to harvest the fruits of its additional investment spending and building product innovation. But like Rod Tidwell in Jerry Maguire, eventually we need to see the “kwan”."
