Canaccord Genuity reiterates a 'Buy' on Dick's Sporting Goods (NYSE: DKS) price target of $58.00.

Analyst, Camilo Lyon, said, "DKS reported solid Q2 adjusted EPS of $0.65 vs. our estimate and consensus of $0.64. Comps of 3.8% beat our 3.5% estimate while gross margin and SG&A were essentially in line with our model. Expectations were for a slightly better comp and EPS; however, the company did increase its full year outlook (now $2.47-$2.51, up 2-3c from last quarter), suggesting a strong start to back to school and Q3. Also, implied Q4 guidance appears conservative to us as the comp suggests a steep 350-500bp two-year deceleration off of the warmest winter in decades. With strong trends in footwear and apparel, new NFL jerseys from Nike (NYSE: NKE), and increasing shop-in-shops, we reiterate our rating and price target."
