KeyBanc reiterates a 'Buy' on Nordstrom (NYSE: JWN) price target of $65.00.

Analyst, Edward Yruma, said, "The KBCM Softlines team conducted its annual early read checks for Nordstrom, Inc.'s (NYSE: JWN) Anniversary Sale - we believe the sale is off to a strong start. For the uninitiated, Nordstrom's Anniversary Sale is arguably the Company's most important sales event of the year and, unlike almost every other sale in softlines, is for the upcoming season (Fall). In our opinion, this event gives us one of the best early reads for the 2H. As is our practice, we visited and called numerous stores over the weekend, spoke with vendors, and compiled data from Nordstrom.com. We continue to believe that Nordstrom is our best positioned retailer to take advantage of improved conditions for the middle and upper-income U.S. consumer."
