Jefferies maintains a 'Buy' on Dollar Tree (NASDAQ: DLTR) price target raised from $88 to $100.

Analyst, Daniel Binder, said, "While shares have run up, we think investors should continue to ride the good momentum in the Dollar Tree business. We believe sales exceeded our original expectations in Q4 so we raising our SSS estimate to 6%. Our checks suggest that food & consumables continued to outpace discretionary goods, so we are not modeling gross margin improvement. However, SG&A leverage should be strong and share buyback accretive."

Jefferies raises Q4 EPS from $1.55 to $1.59, FY12 EPS from $3.99 to $4.02 and FY13 from $4.71 to $5.00.
