Shares of Buffalo Wild Wings, Inc. (NASDAQ: BWLD) are seeing weakness to start the year after analysts at Oppenheimer said their analysis suggests elevated earnings risk in 2012.
Specifically, the firm said management's +20% EPS goal appears reliant on a meaningful acceleration in "core" EPS growth.
"We appreciate BWLD's solid execution thus far, but this magnitude of earnings acceleration could prove difficult, especially given a similar unit growth profile vs. 2011 and emerging profit-mix headwinds," the firm said.
Oppenheimer's 2012 EPS estimate sits at $3.11, which is below the Street consensus of $3.24.
Shares of Buffalo Wild Wings are down 3.8 percent mid-day to $64.95.
