Janney Montgomery Scott reiterates a 'Buy' on Hanesbrands (NYSE: HBI) price target of $37.00 (from $36.00).

Analyst, Eric Tracy, said, "We reiterate our rating on HBI following the company's strong 2Q beat, and would advise clients accumulate positions as risk/reward remains one of the more compelling in the space. While the material 2Q beat ($0.67 vs. our/consensus $0.50/$0.49) and only reaffirmed FY12 outlook ($2.50-$2.60) would suggest, on the surface, that 2H outlook is lower, this is driven primarily from a shift of costs from 2Q (~$0.07) and higher tax (~$0.10). With the more promotional Imagewear business now in discontinued ops, we actually think the visibility and quality of the earnings have improved."
