Deutsche Bank initiates coverage on Foot Locker (NYSE: FL) with a Hold. PT $30.00.
Deutsche analyst says, "We are impressed with CEO Ken Hicks's execution of the turnaround plan, which has led to 5 yr. goals achieved in half the time. However, after substantial SSS and margin gains, we believe growth will moderate, driven by rising marketing expenses and necessary Internet investments. Also, we are concerned strong SSS at Champs/FL are being hampered by European exposure and weak non-core banners, which contribute ~30% of sales. Ahead of the upcoming strategic update, we believe the sidelines is the prudent approach, for now."
