UBS maintains a 'Buy' on Mattress Firm Holding Corp. (NASDAQ: MFRM) price target of $37.00 (from $50.00).

Analyst, Michael Lasser, said, "Mattres Firm’s update which discussed slower than expected sales trends adds to a litany of cautionary signs about recent consumer spending (ranging from hhgregg's (NYSE: HGG) and O'Reilly (Nasdaq: ORLY) preannouncements to the soft Census Bureau retail sales). There was added pressure for MFRM from Tempur-Pedic's (NYSE: TPX) promotional activities, which crimped its AUP for at least part of the recent quarter. Now, management’s credibility has taken a hit by not recognizing these as possibilities when it reported just over a month ago. Even so, the shares offer an inexpensive valuation for a growth retailer."

FY13 EPS estimate cut from $1.50 to $1.48 and FY14 from $2.15 to $2.05.
