Jefferies maintains a 'Hold' on Quality Distribution (NASDAQ: QLTY) price target raised from $11 to $14.

Analyst, Peter Nesvold, said, "4Q Margin improvement and growth opportunity in energy underscore a meaningful longer-term opportunity for QLTY...We remain neutral on QLTY for sentiment, liquidity and valuation issues. Sentiment remains very bullish, with 8 Buys, 3 Holds, and 1 Sell (per Bloomberg), while the shares trade less than $2 million in value a day. We continue to find it hard to recommend the stock
to institutional money right now. Turnarounds are rarely linear and our sense is that we'll get a more attractive entry point at some point."

Jefferies cuts FY12 EPS estimate from $1.01 to $0.93 and FY13 from $1.29 to $1.14.
