-- Stifel Canada is expecting another strong quarter from Aritzia (ATZ.TO) when it reports its fiscal fourth-quarter earnings on May 7.
Analyst Martin Landry, who is raising his price target on the company's shares by $8.00 to $158.00 and maintaining a buy rating, is also hiking comparable sales growth expectation by 700bps to 21% Y/Y, higher than consensus of 18%.
"We expect Aritzia to introduce a FY27 guidance higher than current consensus expectations, potentially driving upwards earnings revisions," Landry adds. Aritzia shares touched an all-time high on Friday as investors are pricing the company's strong operational performance.
Landry also expects earnings per share growth of 34% Y/Y in fiscal 27, higher than peers.
