Jefferies maintains a 'Buy' on Quiksilver (NYSE: ZQK) price target of $4.00 (from $5.50).

Analyst, Taposh Bari, said, "At $2.50, we believe that Quiksilver's portfolio of globally recognized brands is undervalued. However, a strong valuation case has been overwhelmed by European exposure and takeout obstacles (30% interest by top shareholder). We expect ZQK to miss EPS when it reports 2Q Thursday (after-close) but believe the stock gets interesting in 2H as distribution growth and lower cotton costs drive accelerated EPS growth."

Bari slightly adjusts FY2 EPS estimate from $0.18 to $0.16 and FY13 from $0.34 to $0.33.
