Goldman Sachs raised estimates and its price target earlier on Ralph Lauren (NYSE: RL) from $190 to $200 while reiterating their Conviction Buy List rating, following Q3 EPS that beat by $0.07.
The firm called the results "outstanding" and said it supports their preference for Brands vs. Boxes.
"RL's strong top- and bottom-line performance was impressive in a quarter where others were negatively impacted by the full brunt of cost inflation, a highly promotional holiday season, a challenging European consumer spending backdrop, and unaccommodating weather," the analyst said. The results strengthened the firm's conviction in the company's ability to generate double-digit revenue growth and ongoing EBIT margin expansion to drive 20%-plus EPS growth.
The firm raised FY2012E/FY2013E/FY2014E EPS to $7.20/$9.00/$10.50 from $7.11/$8.75/$10.25
