Jefferies maintains a 'Hold' on IPC The Hospitalist Company (NASDAQ: IPCM) price target of $46.00 (from $40.00).

Analyst, Brian Tanquilut, said, "IPCM remains one of the better growth stories in our H/C services coverage universe, and we have a positive bias on the name given our belief that hospitalist services, which generally fall under primary care, are largely immune from potential Medicare cuts. That said, we believe NT upside to the stock is fairly limited given the lack of meaningful catalysts and the stock's current valuation."
