Janney Montgomery Scott maintains a 'Buy' on Lululemon Athletica Inc. (NASDAQ: LULU) price target raised from $57 to $70.

JMS analyst says, "We are raising our FY11 EPS estimate to $1.25 from $1.18 (the Street is at $1.18); and FY12 EPS estimate to $1.52 from $1.43 (the Street is at $1.48). We are also introducing our FY13 EPS estimate of $1.88 (the Street is at $1.90)."

"LULU remains one of the key brands that is building awareness, driving share, and selling product at full price in a sea of price competition. We reiterate LULU as a core holding in a growth portfolio and expect ongoing comp and EPS strength in 2012. As the company's inventory position builds, we do expect more normalized markdown rates resulting in gross margin in the mid-50% range."
