UBS maintains a 'Neutral' on Bed Bath and Beyond (NASDAQ: BBBY) price target raised from $69 to $71.

Analyst, Michael Lasser, said, "The strong all-around results were highlighted by a healthy sales acceleration with a 6.8% comp increase (vs. our 4.0% est), which was a brisk acceleration on a multi-year stacked basis. This adds to BBBY’s recent track record, which has shown that it runs destination stores that fully participate when overall spending trends are humming and outperform when the environment is less robust. This quarter provided little evidence pointing to a slowdown even as the benefit of hot products like Keurig coffee makers fades in future periods."
