Jefferies cut its price target on Buy-rated Finish Line (NASDAQ: FINL) from $28 to $25 ahead of Q1 results.

The firm comments, "We expect 1Q earnings (Thursday 6/28 AM) to be an event despite the fact that the company already pre-announced the quarter's SSS and EPS at its analyst day on 5/30. Areas of key focus will be 1) June-to-date SSS trends, 2) 2Q SSS and EPS guidance 3) SG&A dollar growth in 1Q and 4) updated SG&A guidance for FY. We continue to see value in FINL where sentiment is overly negative and the much maligned investment cycle has peaked."

FY13 EPS goes from $1.65 to $1.67 and FY14 from $1.87 to $1.88.
