Nomura Securities upgraded Nordstrom (NYSE: JWN) from Neutral to Buy. PT $55.

Analyst, Paul Lejuez, said, "The company’s strong execution, enviable customer base, and best-in-class ROIC stand out in our retail universe. We believe we are nearing an inflection point in the EBIT margin, top-line momentum remains strong, and growth in the Rack concept is driving higher ROIC. With the stock (5)% YTD vs our group +14%, investors are presented with an attractive buying opportunity as JWN trades at an EV/EBITDA multiple (5.5x) in line with its department store peers. Maintain F12E/F13E EPS of $3.54/$3.96 vs Street $3.44/$3.92, respectively."
