Wedbush maintains an 'Outperform' on Smith & Wesson Holding (NASDAQ: SWHC) price target of $11.00 (from $10.00).

Analyst, Rommel Dionisio, said, "Impressive Q1 upside surprise; management increases FY13 guidance on strong momentum...Sharp margin improvement driven by operating leverage...Industry demand surge continued into early Q2...Raising estimates on stronger-than-expected momentum. On accelerating industry demand, we are raising our FY13 forecasts for revenue to $540 million from $500 million, and for EPS to $0.90 from $0.63. We are also initiating FY14 forecasts for revenue growth of 5%, driven by expected market share gains from new product launches, and EPS of $0.97, which assumes modest 40 basis point operating margin expansion due to greater operating leverage from rising sales."
