Barclays maintains an 'Overweight' on Mattress Firm Holding Corp. (NASDAQ: MFRM) price target of $59.00.
Analyst, Robert S. Drbul, said, "We believe our 1Q EPS estimate of $0.24 could prove conservative. Looking to 2Q and the rest of 2012, our estimates include the impact of the Mattress Giant acquisition, which closed on May 2 ($90 - $95 mm in revenue and $0.05 - $0.06 of accretion for the year), but exclude one-time acquisition costs ($0.17 - $0.19)...For Q1, we expect sales to increase 32.1% to $200.7 million driven by a comp increase of 12% and the addition of 143 new stores in the last year...We are expecting gross margin to increase 120 basis points to 38.0%."
Drbul suggests investors use the recent pullback as an opportunity to step in and accumulate shares, citing the company's long-term growth plan firmly intact.
