Canaccord Genuity maintains a 'Hold' on Urban Outfitters, Inc. (NASDAQ: URBN) price target of $38.00 (from $26.00).
Analyst, Laura Champine, said, "URBN’s Q2 EPS of $0.42 was ahead of our $0.31 estimate and consensus at $0.33. Comparable retail sales, including the DTC channel, increased 4% yr./yr. on top of +1%. We were looking for a flat performance. Comparable retail sales, including direct, were up 6% on top of +1.1% at UO, 100bps ahead of our forecast, and they were flat at Anthropologie on top of flat, better than our estimate of a 7% decline. The gross margin contracted 30bps yr./yr. versus our projection of a 235bps decline as a result of lower markdown levels. URBN generated 5bps of SG&A expense leverage. We had forecast a 160bps increase. We remain HOLD rated with the shares at 19x our FY14 EPS estimate and 9x FY14E EV/EBITDA."
FY13 EPS estimate raised from $1.46 to $1.59. Recent channel checks indicate better fashion trends with the overall Anthropologie impression much improved.
