UBS maintains a 'Buy' on Mattress Firm Holding Corp. (NASDAQ: MFRM) price target raised from $39 to $50.

Analyst, Michael Lasser, said, "Our basic thesis on MFRM is that it is well positioned to grow into the dominant national mattress retailer and in that process creates significant shareholder value. The evidence from the company’s 4Q’11 suggests this is happening at a quicker rate than we previously expected. The highlight from the quarter was strong top-line and bottom line performance with EPS of $0.56 that handily beat our $0.17 est. The upside was driven by a comp increase of 24.8%, which exceeded our 17% estimate. We expect that upward revisions will continue to drive the stock."

FY13 EPS estimate raised from $1.26 to $1.59 and FY14 from $1.57 to $1.98.
