Jefferies reiterates a 'Hold' on Tennant Company (NYSE: TNC) price target raised $1 to $38.00.

Jefferies analyst says, "4Q earnings growth was strong and modestly better than expected. Sales and margin development remain positive and there is good earnings momentum here. But we rate TNC HOLD since the shares are trading at what we believe is an unwarranted 20% premium to peers."

"We are increasing our 2012 EPS estimate by $0.08 (+4%) to $2.35. We are establishing a 2013 EPS estimate of $2.71 (+15%)."
