Today Canaccord Genuity maintained a Buy rating on Foot Locker (NYSE: FL) with a price target of $40.00.

"We are raising our Q2 EPS estimate based on recent channel checks that have pointed to strong comp trends at FL. Color (fashion) and technology (innovation) from Nike continue to spur high sell-through rates in basketball," said analyst Camilo Lyon.

"FL continues to be our top retail pick as industry fundamentals coupled with a
definable path to gross margin gains should lead to positive estimate revisions into 2013," he added.

Canaccord’s new Q2 comp and EPS estimates are 8% (from 5%) and $0.36 (from $0.31), respectively
