UBS maintains a 'Neutral' on hhgregg (NYSE: HGG) price target of $6.75 (from $9.50).

Analyst, Michael Lasser, said, "As HGG’s core TV category declines with no apparent catalyst on the horizon, the company has refocused its efforts in other areas such as new products like home fitness (treadmills, ellipticals) and home entertainment furniture (TV stands, sofas, recliners). These categories could help the productivity of HGG’s boxes, but they also expose the company to new risks such as more intense showrooming & heavier inventory investment. The burden of proof will remain on HGG to show that it can evolve its model to play to its strengths and minimize its weaknesses."
