FBR Capital maintains an 'Outperform' on Vera Bradley (NASDAQ: VRA), PT

FBR analyst says, "We believe that Vera Bradley is in the early stages of a growth story as it leverages its strong brand equity to capture new customers in new and existing markets. The brand appeals to a wide customer base, while the reasonable price points enable new customers to explore the brand. The company has conservative expectations for domestic store growth, while international opportunities will likely augment growth."
