Benchmark initiates coverage on Foot Locker (NYSE: FL) with a Hold. PT $35.00.

Analyst, Robert Samuels, said, "We think the stock is fairly valued and our 2012 and 2013 estimates are pretty much in-line with current consensus. In the near-term, FL should continue to benefit from tailwinds given the product cycle, which translates into mid-to-high single digit sales growth and double-digit EPS growth. However, looking further out, the company is no longer as much of a turnaround story and will need to prove that it can find incremental growth and margin enhancement opportunities as we move further along in the current product cycle."
