Canaccord Genuity reiterates a 'Buy' on Finish Line (NASDAQ: FINL) price target of $24.00.

Canaccord analyst, Camilo Lyon, said, "FINL will report FQ2 results on Thursday (9/22) after market close with a conference call the next day before the open. Given the consistent strength in the lightweight running category coupled with a solid basketball release schedule from Nike (NYSE: NKE), we believe FINL is poised to post solid Q2/11 results."

"Last year’s inventory issue is this year’s comp opportunity: In FQ2/10, FINL had insufficient supply of Nike product resulting in out-of-stocks and lost sales. We believe these supply chain bottlenecks have lessened and thus should result in a comp gain opportunity with potential upside to our 8% estimate."
