Needham & Company reiterates a 'Buy' on Heritage-Crystal Clean (NASDAQ: HCCI) price target of $24.00.

Analyst, Sean K.F. Hannan, said, "Overall, we believe Heritage-Crystal Clean remains in the early stages of substantial growth due to the encouraging ramp of its re-refining business. We remain positive on the magnitude of the growth this business should provide for at least the next two years (until some degree of expansion provides its next large step function). Consequently, we remain confident that we will see powerful earnings growth into 2013."

"No official guide provided, but our 2Q12 estimate are now $54.5M and $0.08 (on lower ES margins), vs. prior $51.1M and $0.11. Our 2012 est. becomes $237M & $0.56, vs. our prior $227M and $0.59. Our 2013 estimate is $287M & $1.32."
