Canaccord Genuity joins KORS' fanbase, starting shares at buy, citing momentum that has made company "one of the fastest growing fashion accessories brands in the US." Firm says KORS offers products to consumers across different income demographics and has significant opportunities to sell through US department stores. Sees company on the path to double its global retail segment by F2015.

Canaccord Genuity initiated coverage on Michael Kors (NYSE: KORS) with a Buy rating and a price target of $82.00. Analyst Camilo Lyon thinks Michael Kors shop-in-shop conversion strategy is under-appreciated by the Street.

"Current estimates suggest the NA wholesale shop-in-shop doors will grow at an 11% CAGR, while non-converted doors will grow at 15%. We believe this understates the productivity lift opportunity by $300M/15c to sales/EPS in two years, effectively doubling the growth," said Lyon

Also a lot of press attention last night and double the normal volume on up day. Looks like we could break out to the upside this week.

Strong dividend increase will give fuel too! Macy’s announced a dividend of $0.25 with a Dividend Ex. Date of June 12. That’s a 25-percent increase versus the previous dividend of $0.2. The new dividend yield is 1.7 percent.

Very strong momentum and Macy's is eating competitors lunch. Full steam ahead and congrats to longs!

Sentiment: Strong Buy

GAAP net income for the first quarter was a loss of $15.5 million, or ($0.40) per share, versus a pro forma loss of $8.4 million, or ($0.23) per share, for the same period last year.

Revenue guidance of $430 million to $445 million.
Non-GAAP earnings guidance of $1.80 to $1.95 per diluted share.
GAAP earnings guidance of a ($0.41) to ($0.16) per share loss.

Non-GAAP earnings guidance excludes $60.5 million of projected amortization of intangible assets; $20.5 million to $23.0 million of share-based compensation expense; and $7.2 million to $8.8 million in merger-related expenses. Stratasys also expects to record significant one-time integration expenses as a result of infrastructure alignment and brand unification in 2013.

The market wants SSYS to blow out and raise guidance. Basically it looks like a maintain / inline. Market will be disappointed.

There is also the exposure of a risk of a shelf offering similar to DDD.

This would dilute share value, but may not happen.

Either way, expect sell pressure from this point on.

Sentiment: Strong Sell
