Nomura Securities maintains a 'Neutral' on Chico's, Inc. (NYSE: CHS) price target raised from $13 to $14.
Analyst, Paul Lejuez, said, "Following a weak 3Q, trends rebounded in 4Q, in part driven by promotions but also driven by an increase in new customers. Sales have remained strong in Feb, a good sign for F12. CHS was a stand-out in the women’s space in 4Q, for which it deserves credit, but the landscape remains challenged. We are increasing our F12E from $0.97 to $1.04 based on higher sales and margins than previously forecast. We are also introducing our F13E of $1.21. We are increasing our TP to $14 to reflect estimate revisions. Our TP represents ~6x our F12E EBITDA approximately in line with the softlines group median (excl lululemon (Nasdaq: LULU) and Michael Kors (Nasdaq: KORS)). The stock does not look expensive but after the run-up today we believe the risk/reward is balanced."
