		<description><![CDATA[We have upgraded our long-term recommendation on the U.S. based sporting goods retailer Big 5 Sporting Goods Corporation (BGFV) to Neutral from Underperform with a target price of $8.50. This rating upgrade was driven by the company’s continuous better-than-expected bottom line performance in the last three quarters of fiscal 2011. Big 5 Sporting’s earnings per share came ahead of the Zacks Consensus Estimate in the last three quarters with an earnings surprise history of 60%, 58.8% and 25% in second, third and fourth quarter, respectively. (For further details, please visit: Surprise &#8211; Reported Earnings History) Further, during the last three quarters of fiscal 2011, the company has surpassed and met its own earnings guidance.

		<description><![CDATA[Hibbett Sporting Goods&#8217; (HIBB) earnings of $0.59 per share for the third quarter ended October 2011 beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.51 and surged 34% from the prior-year quarter on the heels of robust performance of footwear and apparel sales along with operational efficiencies. Management has raised its earnings guidance for the current fiscal year to a range of $2.05 to $2.11 a share. Management also remains committed to expanding the store network.

		<description><![CDATA[We maintain our Outperform recommendation on Hibbett Sports (HIBB) as we anticipate it to perform well above the market. Its sharp focus towards mid-sized and smaller markets and a strategic mix of branded as well as localized merchandise provide an edge over its rivals in a highly competitive specialty retail industry. Hibbett&#8217;s management is also committed towards expanding its store network in fiscal 2011. Moreover, the company&#8217;s debt-free balance sheet and full availability under credit facilities bode well for future operating performance. While macroeconomic headwinds may continue to affect the U.S. discretionary spending environment and limit the above-market performance of the company, our long-term Outperform recommendation on the stock indicates that it would perform well above the market. Our target price of $30.00, 23.3X 2011 EPS, reflects this view. Zacks ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Nike Inc. (NKE), a leading global sportswear and equipment supplier company, has witnessed an unrelenting decline in sales due to the continued economic downturn plaguing the retail industry. The company reported a decrease in future orders for the past several quarters. Future orders measure customer orders scheduled to be delivered in the coming season. Nike anticipates its future orders to decline by over 5% when it reports its results in September. The continued softness in the economy has led to a reduction in disposable income and a cut in consumer discretionary spending. Consequently, consumers are more attracted to national and local department stores and discount stores that offer products at fire-sale prices. Major retailers like Foot Locker Inc. (FL) and Hibbett Sports Inc. (HIBB) further anticipate plummeting sales in the ]]></description>
