Benchmark maintains a 'Buy' on Perry Ellis (NASDAQ: PERY) price target of $26.00 (from $22.00).

Analyst, Ronald Bookbinder, said, "While we do not expect Perry Ellis to report 2Q13 until mid-August and its quarter does not end until the end of July, we believe new and improved Rafaella and Perry Ellis product is beginning to show up in stores. We believe there could be upside potential in the back half of FY13 from turning around the Rafaella and Perry Ellis lines, along with the current momentum in dresses and golf combined with product cost reductions from cheaper cotton."

Bookbinder maintains his Q2 EPS estimate at $0.02 (ex-$0.05 charge) on revenues of $204 million. FY13 EPS estimate at $2.00 (ex-$0.10 charge) and sees revenues increasing low single digits.
