Nomura Securities maintains a 'Neutral' on Wet Seal, Inc. (NASDAQ: WTSLA) price target lowered from $4 to $3.
Analyst, Paul Lejuez, said, "Business trends continue to be difficult. The company guided 2Q comps down 7-11% compared to down 8% in 1Q, despite an easier comparison. Mgmt also expects a loss of $0.03-$0.06 (vs consensus of a $0.01 gain) in the qtr. On the positive side, the company will be opening fewer Wet Seal stores and now expects to close 15-20 Arden B. stores as they come off lease in F12. We are reducing our F12E EPS from $0.15 to $0.03 and F13E from $0.16 to $0.04."
