Jefferies maintains a 'Hold' on Blackbaud (NASDAQ: BLKB) price target raised $1 to $28.

Analyst, Ross MacMillan, said, "Underlying trends at BLKB appear decent, but 4Q11 contained one-time revenue and cost adjustments plus prior-period restatements. There are cost (and minimal rev) impacts in CY12, which depress op margin, but 10%+ organic growth, transition to subscription and LT OM expanson remain intact."

Jefferies lowers FY12 EPS estimate from $1.19 to $1.15 and raises FY13 from $1.35 to $1.42.
