with a $36 price target ahead of the company's third quarter results due on Thursday. “We believe the last quarter has seen a material decline in investor sentiment for one of the few bona fide growth stores in the consumer space,” Beder wrote. “As such, we believe the company has the potential to once again demonstrate their ability to drive solid results and strong double-digit top-line growth.” Beder believes that the Street's earnings per share estimate of $0.02 is “achievable” and could in fact be conservative.

The analyst adds that if management simply reiterates prior guidance it will be a plus.
