Janney Montgomery Scott maintains a 'Neutral' on Zumiez, Inc. (NASDAQ: ZUMZ) price target raised from $33 to $34.

Analyst, Adrienne Tennant, said, "ZUMZ reported a comp beat of +10.1% for April versus Retail Metrics consensus of +6.9%. We had been looking for a +8% April comp with expected upside...The company also reported 1Q12 comp of +12.9% compared to +12.6% in 1Q11, and a combined March and April comp ("Marpl") of +12.3% compared to +12.5% last year. Our checks continue to reflect clean levels of inventory, both full price and clearance, and ZUMZ continues to be one of the least promotional teen retailers."

"We are raising our FY12 and FY13 EPS estimates; FY12 goes to $1.47 from $1.45
(versus consensus of $1.48); and FY13 goes to $1.68 from $1.66 (versus consensus of $1.66)."
