Analyst, David Palmer, said, "We are raising our 2Q EPS estimate slightly following results of our consumer panel analysis through May. We now expect 2Q same store sales (SSS) growth to fall within the low double-digit range and are accordingly raising our estimate from 10% to 11%. Our 2Q EPS estimate moves to $2.33 from $2.27." (FY12 EPS Estimate raised from $9.07 to $9.13 and FY13 from $11.61 to $11.65)
