Increasing confidence in LT targets, PT $70

Having seen several months of improvement in the comp and margin trajectory at VS, we now have greater visibility into the pace of recovery and subsequently higher confidence in the path to management's long-term targets of 5-10% annual sales growth and operating margin in the high-teens. We are revising our forward years' assumptions higher, but still just to the low end of the guidance range, and rolling our DCF forward to 2018 year-end, resulting in a price target of $70.
