DA analyst says, "Healthy inventory position fuels comp strength, but normalizing promotional cadence likely presents a gross margin headwind in 2012...We have raised our constant currency comp expectation for 2012 from 8% to 13%...Premium valuation reflects substantial growth opportunity in our view."

"Raising estimates: Our 4Q11 constant currency comps, revenue, and EPS estimates are now 24%, $363 million and $0.49, respectively. Our 2012 and 2013 revenue and EPS estimates have been raised to $1.302 billion and $1.62 and $1.583 billion and $2.00, respectively."
