Jefferies reiterates a 'Buy' on Francesca's Holdings (NASDAQ: FRAN) price target raised from $25 to $31.

Analyst, Randal J. Konik, said, "FRAN continues along a steady growth track, as witnessed by their 4Q preannouncement in January of better than expected sales and earnings. We think this fast-fashion retailer is well positioned in the current environment and expect it to continue gaining market share while expanding its footprint and investing in improved technology. Risk/reward is favorable at these levels."

(Sees Q4 EPS of $0.17 and same-store sales up 11%. Jefferies also raises FY12 EPS estimate from $0.54 to $0.56 and FY13 from $0.73 to $0.76)
