Needham & Company reiterates a 'Strong Buy' on Urban Outfitters, Inc. (NASDAQ: URBN) price target of $48.00.
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 fashion has improved at UO while key categories at Anthro remain challenged, but could improve by F1H12, due to short lead times. At ~15x our FY12 EPS estimate of $1.82, URBN is trading slightly above the sector average of ~14x, though at a significant discount to its average 5 year historical P/E of 27x, and long term organic growth rate of 25% to 27%. 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 25% to 27% (~26x) or $48 per share."
