Barclays maintains an 'Equalweight' on Williams-Sonoma (NYSE: WSM) price target of $38.00.
Analyst, Alan M. Rifkin, said, "We estimate 1Q EPS of $0.31, $0.01 below the Street though near the high end of management's guidance: We believe that sales were reasonably strong throughout Q1 across the company's five concepts, although we believe challenges in branded kitchen and cookware products at the Williams-Sonoma brand likely continued during the quarter."
Rifkin also sees Q1 same-store sales at +2.5%, citing selling challenges from nationally branded items, but longer-term, believes the multi-channel platform is strong.
