Sterne Agee analyst Sam Poser weighed in on Foot Locker (NYSE: FL) given today's volatility, which he believes is related to SportScanInfo data.
"SportScanInfo data that came out this morning stated that last week's basketball sales were down 7.2%," Poser said. "The stock's activity does not reflect shifts of launch dates for a number of key items. Last week's numbers do not include the Lebron XII, that was pulled because of cosmetic issue, and the lapping of the of the Jordan 6 "rings" from last year."
Poser said the basketball business remains very healthy and is more than confident that the 10-25-14 launch of the Jordan 13 Baron's will return the basketball business to its positive mid teens run rate.
The firm maintained a Buy rating and price target of $65.
