Jefferies raised estimates and its price target on Impax Laboratories (NASDAQ: IPXL) from $17 to $21 after the company "crushed" Q4 views on higher generic Adderall XR revenue.

The firm comments, "The big question: what’s the AXR run-rate going forward? That’s uncertain w/ no guidance, even qualitative, but we already assume IPXL/Shire work it out and AXR is up 26% in ‘12. IPXL’s confident in Warning Letter resolution soon. That would be great, but likely already in the #’s. We raise target to $21, on increased ests. and higher multiple."

Q1 EPS was raised from $0.52 to $0.53, FY12 from $1.88 to $1.92 and FY13 from $1.35 to $1.42.
