Cowen maintained a Market Perform rating on Movado Group Inc. (NYSE: MOV), and cut the price target to $24.00 (from $29.00), following the company's 1Q earnings report. On the call, management commented that the fashion watch category in the U.S. appears to be suffering from over-saturation with too many brands, too much sameness, too much distribution, and not enough newness to drive excitement in the category among consumers.

Analyst Oliver Chen commented, "MOV delivered +3c beat with 1Q EPS of $0.19 vs. Street’s $0.16E driven largely by strong gross margin expansion (+200bps). We reit. Market Perform and lower PT to $24, reflecting muted FY17 outlook for sales & EPS. We continue to monitor launch of multiple new product families expected to drive improvement in 2H."
