Nomura Securities maintains a 'Buy' on PetSmart (NASDAQ: PETM) price target raised from $62 to $67.
Analyst, Aram Rubinson, said, "We are adjusting our model to reflect better trends in pet adoption. Data from Pethealth, Inc. (PTZ: TSX, not covered), indicates that cat/dog adoption has accelerated from +6% in FQ4/11 to +10% in FQ1/12 to date. New pet acquisition is typically good for category mix, as new ‘parents’ stock up on higher margin goods. PETM has gone one step further and opened full-time adoption centers in certain states. Our new estimates of $3.30 and $3.82 (from $3.25 and $3.75) for F12 and F13 are 6% and 10% ahead of the Street."
