Janney Montgomery Scott reiterates a 'Speculative Buy' on Pacific Sunwear of California (NASDAQ: PSUN) price target of $2.00.

Analyst, Adrienne Tennant, said, "PSUN reported 1Q12 LPS of ($0.20) pro forma versus consensus at ($0.29) and the company’s issued guidance range of ($0.26) to ($0.34). The company achieved a positive +1% comp in 1Q12, 160 basis points improvement in merchandise margins, lower occupancy costs and SG&A expenses, and lower inventory...We believe that the turn remains a work in progress, but we believe visibility has improved significantly, and we commend management on delivering solid results for 1Q12, despite the volatile macro backdrop...PSUN remains our high beta/speculative play with an attractive risk/reward."

"Our FY12 LPS estimate goes to ($0.46) from ($0.72) (versus the Street at ($0.55)) and our FY13 LPS estimate goes to ($0.20) from ($0.39) (versus the Street at ($0.35))."
