Jefferies maintains an 'Underperform' on Urban Outfitters, Inc. (NASDAQ: URBN) price target of $24.00 (from $17.00).
Analyst, Randal J. Konik, said, "Mgmt did a good job navigating 2Q with better sales, margins and most importantly, earnings. Shares will be up as a result, but we still expect the company's LT return and margin profile to be subdued and growth rate to slow, making a ~$5B market cap excessive in our view. We'd rather own much cheaper names with better growth potential like Abercrombie & Fitch (NYSE: ANF) and Guess (NYSE: GES)."
Raising FY12 EPS estimate from $1.25 to $1.40.
