Needham & Company reiterates a 'Strong Buy' on Urban Outfitters, Inc. (NASDAQ: URBN), PT

Needham analyst says, "URBN is one of the best growth stories in the specialty retail space and should be a core holding for retail investors. Despite near term merchandise issues due to the fashion shift, we believe adjustments can be made by F2H given short lead times that should result in improved sales momentum. At ~13.5x our FY12 EPS estimate of $2.11, URBN is trading in-line with the sector average of ~15x, though at a significant discount to its average 5 year historical P/E of 27x, and long term organic growth rate of 20% to 25%. We believe that the stock deserves to trade at a premium to the industry and at least in-line with the mid-point of its growth rate of 20% to 25% (~23x) or $48 per share."
