Barclays maintains an 'Equalweight' on United Natural Foods (NASDAQ: UNFI) price target raised from $38 to $40.

Analyst, Meredith Adler, said, "Once again, UNFI reported very healthy revenue growth, boosted in part by new business from Safeway which will cycle in October. We see the company growing at a faster pace than the industry in the future, especially if it can add more new business and penetrate existing customers more deeply."

"We are maintaining our 3Q12 EPS at $0.56 and raising our FY12 EPS by $0.01 to $1.90 to reflect the 2Q12 upside; updated FY12 guidance is $1.86-1.94." (Barclays keeps FY13 estimate at $2.11)
