Auriga reiterates a 'Buy' on DSW Inc. (NYSE: DSW) price target raised from $65 to $70.

Analyst, Claire Gallacher, said, "DSW reported better than expected Q1 EPS of $0.98, driven by comps of 7.6%. Unseasonably warm weather in February and March led to what we believe was incremental sell through of full price product. We expect Q2 comps of 2% given difficult comparisons and the possibility that purchases were pulled forward into Q1 and out of Q2. We are increasing our full year EPS estimate to $3.37 from $3.32 to reflect upside in Q1 and a conservative posture for Q2 and Q3. We are increasing our PT given the upside in Q1 and our belief that DSW is well positioned to continue capturing incremental spending the in the footwear segment."
