Jefferies Raises Price Target on Parametric Technology (PMTC)

The company reported solid Q4 results and guided its Q1 expectations inline with the Street's predictions. Management released its Q1 guidance with revenue and EPS of $305-$320 million and $0.28-$0.32. For FY12, the company is forecasting $1.33-$1.34 billion in sales with EPS of $1.48-$1.52.
