Auriga reiterates a 'Buy' on Deckers Outdoor (NASDAQ: DECK) price target of $100.00.

Analyst, Claire Gallacher, said, "We are forecasting a relatively inline Q1 as cost pressures are projected to limit EPS upside in the near term. Inventory is expected +80% in Q1 but the inventory growth rate is expected to drop sequentially during 2012 as carry-over product is sold through. As the second half nears, we expect investor interest could increase as more than 100% of full year earnings are projected to be derived during Q3-Q4. Additionally, we expect cost pressures to mitigate somewhat in 2013; therefore, we believe DECK has the potential for strong EPS growth going forward."
