Wedbush maintains an 'Outperform' on The Children's Place (NASDAQ: PLCE) price target raised from $52 to $60.

Wedbush analyst says, "The Wedbush Investment Committee is removing The Children's Place Retail Stores from the Best Ideas List. We believe PLCE lacks the positive near-term catalysts to sustain the recent run up in the stock. Since we added PLCE to the BIL in mid-August, the stock has appreciated about 30% vs. the Softlines Group average of +5% and S&P Retail Index up +10%."


"We are raising our Q4 EPS estimate to $1.22 from $1.14 prior on expectations for positive comp momentum. Our F11 EPS estimate increases to $3.30 from $3.15 prior while F12 EPS estimate becomes $3.90 from $3.65 prior on improving sales momentum."
