UBS maintains a 'Buy' on PetSmart (NASDAQ: PETM) price target raised from $62 to $64.

UBS analyst said, "This stability comes not only from the favorable demand conditions of the pet supply market, but also from the disciplined and analytic manner in which PETM is run. The management team has gelled in recent years and coalesced around this formula of generating 2%-4% comp growth, moderate margin expansion & active deployment of capital back to shareholders. We expect this algorithm will continue to generate at least mid to high teens shareholder return for the fore seeable future."
