Nomura Securities maintains a 'Buy' on Michael Kors (NYSE: KORS) price target of $34.00.
Analyst, Paul Lejuez, said, "We believe KORS will handily beat 3Q consensus, but also guide conservatively for 4Q. If the market is looking for an excuse to buy stocks, KORS’ 3Q EPS should not disappoint, and the market will look through the guidance. However, if the market is looking for a reason to take profits that day, with the stock +70% since its IPO, conservative guidance may be the excuse. Though the stock’s reaction to earnings depends on the market mood next week, KORS is still a stock to own for the long term. We expect EPS of $0.13, which assumes comps of 29-31%, total sales of 57-59% and EBIT margin down 460bps (to 15.6%). Consensus is $0.10. There could be significant upside to our estimates. We believe that the KORS growth story is among the best in retail."
