Canaccord Genuity reiterates a 'Buy' on Finish Line (NASDAQ: FINL) price target raised from $25 to $28.

Analyst, Camilo Lyon, said, "FINL will report Q4/11 results on Friday (3/30) before market open with a conference call at 8:30am EST. We are raising our Q4 estimate to $0.81 from $0.77 based on strong checks throughout the quarter and positive February commentary from Foot Locker (NYSE: FL). We believe accelerating comps in Q4 will result in greater EPS flow-through despite continued investments in the growth of its e-commerce platform. Looking to 2012, accelerating Nike (NYSE: NKE) North America futures point to continued momentum in the athletic footwear cycle boding well for FINL."

Lyon raises Q4 comp estimates from 5% to 7.7%, citing solid checks into basketball and running.
