Argus analyst Chris Graja raised his price target on Williams-Sonoma to $80 and kept his Buy rating after its Q2 earnings beat. The analyst notes that the company's West Elm segment continued to make "a strong connection with millennial-generation shoppers", growing sales 9.5% after a 10.1% growth in last year's Q2 while also making inroads in its social media presence. Graja is also positive on Williams-Sonoma's valuation, saying the 14-times forward EBIT multiple for the next 12 months - which would still be below the peers' 14.6-times in the home products retail business - would value the shares around $82 in one year. The analyst is still concerned over the near term headwinds on the stock from any potential impact of U.S.-China trade tariffs.
