Nomura Securities maintains a 'Buy' on Dollar Tree (NASDAQ: DLTR) price target of $100.00.

Analyst, Aram Rubinson, said, "DLTR’s Q4 made it clear that the company is running a very good business. Consumers are responding with a 7.3% comp and with momentum continuing in Q1. Moreover, a stable Merchandise GM also shows it isn’t selling itself short in order to drive sales. Ocean freight and diesel costs (which factor into COGS) do pose a risk to DLTR, as they do many other businesses. Modest exposure to fuel and shipping rate uncertainty seems an acceptable risk to owning a retailer that is profitably serving more consumers, more effectively each year.. Our 2012 EPS estimate is now $5.00 from $4.90, mostly reflecting a 53rd week, while our $6.00 estimate is unchanged for 2013."
