Deutsche Bank maintains a 'Buy' on Nordstrom (NYSE: JWN) price target of $66.00.

Analyst, Charles Grom, said, "While we respect the knee jerk reaction, cooler heads should prevail presenting a nice buying opportunity. To this end, both the aforementioned EPS miss and 2Q guidance are entirely a function of JWN's technology spend being front-end loaded, which until today was undisclosed by JWN. Said differently, JWN's EBIT flow through in 1H will be negative 3.0% versus an acceleration to +18% in 2H. Equally critical, JWN reiterated that '12 is a 'step-up' investment year, implying that its flow through in '13 will noticeably accelerate. Net, we see the AH action as another famous dislocation opportunity."
