Nomura Securities reiterates a 'Buy' on AutoZone (NYSE: AZO) price target raised from $395 to $415.

Analyst, Aram Rubinson, said, "Raise px tgt from $395 to $415 after strong FQ2. We are updating our AZO estimates to reflect outperformance in FQ2, and lower anticipated repurchases on a share (though not on a dollar) basis. As a result, our F2012E EPS goes to $23.80 (from $23.90) and our F2013E EPS goes to $28.95 (from $29.45). We are still 2.5% and 7.5% ahead of the Street, and our EBITDA estimates are largely unchanged (we edge them up just slightly)."
