KeyBanc reiterates a 'Buy' on Francesca's Holdings (NASDAQ: FRAN) price target raised from $30 to $34.

Analyst, Edward Yruma, said, "As we have noted in our previous notes, FRAN’s superior 4-wall model (150% cash-on-cash returns) and unit growth opportunity (75 stores per year) give it one of the best long-term growth stories in our coverage. We think that 4Q’s 14.7% comp will allay concerns about FRAN’s (wrongly) perceived inability to comp. We are raising our 2012 EPS estimate from $0.74 to $0.80 and believe that the estimate could still prove conservative should momentum continue."
