Deutsche Bank maintains a 'Buy' on Bed Bath & Beyond (NASDAQ: BBBY) price target of $75.00.

Deutsche analyst said, "BBBY reported 1Q12 EPS of $0.89, though this included an approximate $0.06 tax benefit. Comps were 3%, below consensus of 4%, however, operating margins were up 40 bps vs guidance of flat, as cost controls helped to offset lower than expected gross margins. We maintain our Buy rating as the long-term thesis of square footage growth, solid cash flow generation and organic operating margin expansion remain intact."

Deutsche Bank raises estimates to include acquisition accretion assumptions.
