Oppenheimer maintains an 'Outperform' on Tiffany & Co. (NYSE: TIF) price target chopped from $93 to $75.
Oppenheimer analyst said, "We have for some time recommended Tiffany as one of the most compelling investment opportunities in the Hardlines Sector. Holiday sales at TIF fell short of expectations. The stigma of below-plan top-line trends in a key selling season and ahead of more challenging comparisons has dismayed investors and could weigh upon market sentiment toward TIF for some time. Herein lies opportunity. We believe weaker sales growth at TIF sales reflects largely a confluence of mostly transitory factors. The TIF story is by no means "broken." Shares now trade at a level that significantly under-appreciates the longer term earnings power of the chain."
Lowers FY12 EPS estimate from $4.10 to $3.70 and FY13 from $4.65 to $4.25.
