Imperial Capital maintained an In-Line rating on retailers Zumiez, Inc. (NASDAQ: ZUMZ) and slashed its price target to $25.00 (from $33.00).

"We continue to believe ZUMZ deserves to trade at a premium multiple to the comparable group average of 14x given its long-term organic square footage growth potential. However, difficult comparisons and a slower growth rate relative to the past few years could limit significant multiple expansion," said analysts.

Analysts at Imperial reduced pro forma 2012 and 2013 EPS estimates by $0.08 each, to $1.45 and $1.67, respectively, reflecting more conservative sales and gross margin assumptions.
