Nomura Securities maintains a 'Buy' on Coach (NYSE: COH) price target of $72.00.

Nomura analyst, Paul Lejuez, said, "We expect COH to report strong 1Q (qtr ended Sept) results on 10/25, both in the US and internationally. We forecast a +7-9% comp in the US (upside potential), China sales +65%, Japan sales +8-10% and wholesale sales up 2%. Our 1Q12E is $0.72 vs. consensus of $0.70. Mgmt did not give EPS guidance but indicated that it expects comps of at least +mid single digits in F12. COH has strong momentum, impressive growth prospects, and the best ROIC in retail. We believe the 1Q earnings call will be a positive data point for the stock. Our TP represents ~19x our calendarized F12E ($3.71), a slight premium to its luxury peers."
