KeyBanc reiterates a 'Buy' rating on Lumber Liquidators (NYSE: LL). Price target raised to $18 from $15.
KeyBanc analyst says, "We are becoming more positive on the housing outlook for 2H09 and 2010. We've modeled in slightly better comps for mature stores and have built a waterfall comp analysis to better demonstrate the positive tailwind LL has from new store growth. As a result, we are raising our EPS estimates for 2009 to $0.84 from $0.80, now based on a -4% comp vs. -5% previously. We are raising our 2010 estimate to $0.99 from $0.90. Management guidance for 2009 is $0.76-$0.86 (representing growth of 1-15%) and FC is $0.82. Sales are expected to grow 7-10%, primarily driven by 30-36 new stores (representing 20-24% growth). Comps are expected to decrease low to mid single digits, which would outpace plans from home improvement competitors."
