Canaccord Genuity Reiterates a 'Buy' on Dick's Sporting Goods (DKS); 2012 Offers Opportunity to Expand Gross Margins

Canaccord Genuity reiterates a 'Buy' on Dick's Sporting Goods (NYSE: DKS) price target of $50.00.

Analyst, Camilo Lyon, said, "We believe DKS is poised for a solid 2012 as gross margin expansion opportunities abound. SKU rationalization by Academy Sports, reduced vendor visibility, and active gross margin support from key vendors should all benefit DKS via richer gross margins. Based on an average of potential outcomes, we estimate the net EPS benefit to DKS 2012 EPS could approximate $0.13. With favorable comp comparisons and positive margin dynamics, we reiterate our rating."
