Jefferies maintains a 'Hold' on Vera Bradley (NASDAQ: VRA) price target of $20.00 (from $25.00).
Analyst, Randal J. Konik, said, "Another disappointing quarter, in our view. Top line growth, while in line, was primarily driven by promos and GM% contracted yet again. 3Q is off to a good start with better back-to-campus trends, but 4Q visibility is low and FY'13 guidance was lowered again, which we view cautiously. Overall this growth story needs to show more consistent product performance and sustainable business momentum. Until then we stay on the sidelines." (Lowers FY EPS estimates from $1.68 to $1.60)
