Janney Montgomery Scott maintains a 'Neutral' on Zumiez, Inc. (NASDAQ: ZUMZ) price target of $34.00.

Analyst, Adrienne Tennant, said, "ZUMZ reported 1Q12 EPS beat of $0.14 (includes $0.01 per diluted share associated with the relocation of the company’s ecommerce center) versus the Street at $0.11 and management’s initial guidance of $0.07 to $0.09 pro forma, as management tends to be conservative. The company had previously reported 1Q12 comparable store sales of +12.9% compared to +12.6% in 1Q11...We expect that the company’s positive momentum will continue throughout 2Q12...The diversified mix of third party brands and private label continues to resonate strongly with shoppers and provides the company with significant levers to pull. We continue to believe ZUMZ is a “go to” store for its target market and is taking market share, especially as its most direct competitor, PacSun (Nasdaq: PSUN), is shrinking its footprint."

Tennant raises FY12 EPS estimate from $1.47 to $1.49 and FY13 from $1.68 to $1.70.
