DA Davidson Starts Wolverine World Wide (WWW) at Neutral; Impressive Roots, But Growth Taking Breather

DA Davidson initiates coverage on Wolverine World Wide (NYSE: WWW) with a Neutral. PT $42.00.

Analyst, Andrew Burns, said, "We are positive on Wolverine’s unique brand portfolio and long-term revenue and earnings growth prospects. However, we view current valuation as fair, and see insufficient upside to near-term earnings growth to recommend shares."

"After two strong years of double-digit revenue growth, fundamentals are expected to take a breather in 1H12...We see high single digit revenue and low- to mid-teens earnings growth potential through 2015...We are introducing estimates for 1Q12 revenue and EPS of $332.8 million and $0.56. Our 2012 and 2013 estimates are $1.502 billion and $2.65 and $1.621 billion and $3.00, respectively."
