Janney Montgomery Scott maintains a 'Neutral' on Zumiez, Inc. (NASDAQ: ZUMZ) price target raised from $19 to $26.

JMS analyst says, "We commend management on their ability to drive improved margins given the inflation in product costs and merchandise mix shift from accessories to apparel/footwear. Our checks continue to reflect clean levels of inventory, both full price and clearance, and ZUMZ continues to be one of the least promotional teen retailers. The diversified mix of third party brands and private label continues to resonate strongly with shoppers and provides the company with significant levers to pull. We continue to believe ZUMZ is a "go to" store for its target market. We are raising our FY11 and FY12 EPS estimates to $1.14 from $1.06 (versus consensus of $1.08) and to $1.32 from $1.24 (versus consensus of $1.28), respectively."
