JPMorgan raised the firm’s price target on Boot Barn (BOOT) to $188 from $181 and keeps an Overweight rating on the shares as part of retail preview ahead of next week’s ICR Conference. The firm models up 2.8% average Q4 same-store-sales across its coverage – commensurate with the Q4 performance a year. It sees initial Q4 outlooks embedding potential election disruption in November, the shortened Holiday calendar, and potential heightened promotional activity following a softer start to winter.
