Jefferies reiterates a 'Buy' on Vera Bradley (NASDAQ: VRA) price target of $50.00.

Analyst, Randal J. Konik, said, "The shorts think the growth is over at Vera Bradley which we very much disagree with. In fact, we think VRA is a highly visible growth story and we see a low likelihood of further GM% hiccups (which pressured the stock in two quarters over the last year) over the next several quarters. We view the current risk/reward as favorable and reiterate our rating."

Jefferies raises FY12 EPS estimate from $1.37 to $1.41 and FY13 from $1.64 to $1.68.
