Oppenheimer raised its price target on Outperform-rated Pier 1 Imports (NYSE: PIR) from $17 to $20, saying there is more room to run.

"We stress-tested our PIR financial model and reflected upon our investment thesis. Our conclusion: PIR has further room to run."

The firm notes that while sales volumes have improved markedly, they remain well below prior peak levels. Also the upcoming e-commerce launch will be an incremental top-line driver and enhanced marketing vehicle for the company. Return-on-invested capital is climbing as sales and margins move higher, the firm also notes.
