Janney Montgomery Scott maintains a 'Sell' on DreamWorks Animation (NASDAQ: DWA) price target of $15.00 (from $13.00).

Analyst, Tony Wible, said, "We Rate DWA SELL, as we are concerned about the decay in film performance, FX headwinds, and the possible cannibalization from the NFLX deal. These concerns are exacerbated by the steep decline in DWA's DVD sales but are partly tempered by better international demand, the near term boost from Netflix (Nasdaq: NFLX) catalog sales, strong non-film performance, and the potential for self-distribution savings in 2013. On balance, we believe estimates still need to move lower and see the risk/reward on the stock in favor of a Sell rating. However, Madagascar's stronger open does lead us to increase estimates and our fair value to $15 from $13."

Raises FY12/13 EPS estimate by $0.01 each to $0.77 and $1.17, respectively.
