JPMorgan has raised its price target on Boot Barn (NYSE:BOOT) to 207 from 196, reaffirming its Overweight rating after a productive roadshow with company leadership. The firm believes in the retailer’s multi-year earnings potential.
The updated projections indicate fiscal 2026 earnings per share of 6.95, significantly above management’s guidance and industry consensus.
