Jefferies reiterates a 'Buy' on Aeropostale, Inc. (NYSE: ARO) price target of $21.00.

Analyst, Randal J. Konik, said, "ARO hit a rough patch in 2Q with weak topline further decelerating into early BTS, driven by high competition within the basics category. While current trends are challenging, we think 2H will be helped by easy compares and leaner inventory levels in teen retail (especially at some of ARO's key competitors), which should alleviate topline pressure. With valuation very cheap we think risk/reward is attractive." (FY12 EPS Estimate lowered from $1.30 to $1.15)
