Maxim Group initiates coverage on Nordstrom (NYSE: JWN) with a Buy. PT $70.00.

Maxim analyst Rick Snyder notes, "We arrive at our price target by applying a 7.5x EV/EBITDA multiple to our 2015 EBITDA estimate of $2,165.0 million. We adjust back by one year at a 5.0% discount rate. Nordstrom shares have recently traded between a range of 7.2x and 7.9x EV/EBITDA. Based on 1.) Nordstrom's investment in omni-channel selling; 2.) the relatively high income level of Nordstrom's customers; and 3.) its differentiated position within the department store sector, 4.) Expansion in the Nordstrom Rack division (which produce a higher ROIC than full line Nordstrom stores) should accelerate square footage growth to a mid single digit rate from low single digits previously, we believe that Nordstrom deserves a premium over the 7.0x multiple we use to value typical department stores."
