Sterne Agee downgraded Shoe Carnival (NASDAQ: SCVL) from Buy to Neutral.

Analyst, Sam Poser, said, "We would not put new money to work at this time...We believe SCVL is a very good company with a solid management team that is executing properly. However, the results and outlook met our expectations but did not exceed them. The stock has already passed our prior PT of $23, and given no new catalysts we see no reason to put new money to work."

"We are raising our FY12 EPS estimate from $1.55 to $1.56 to account for the beat in Q2. We are reducing our FY13 EPS estimate from $1.76 to $1.74 reflecting lower than expected store openings."
