Nomura Securities maintains a 'Neutral' on Dollar Tree (NASDAQ: DLTR) price target of $54.00.
Analyst, Aram Rubinson, said, "EPS of $0.51 were slightly ahead of our $0.48 estimate. Guidance for 2012 moved up by $0.07 to a $2.50 mid-point vs consensus at $2.49. The Street reacted to decelerating comps, which slowed to 4.5% from 5.6% in Q1. At 9.5x- 10.0x next 12-month EBITDA estimates, DLTR has been trading at nine-year high valuations. This drove our decision to downgrade DLTR shares to Neutral on July 2; a 10x multiple seemed more fitting for a company growing SSS 6-7%. We regard DLTR as a steady earnings compounder, generating ~20% EPS growth per annum on 4-5% comps. Our 2012 EPS estimate now stands at $2.52 vs $2.50 previously."
