10/21/20: Lake Street initiates with Buy rating - $15 Target

Lake Street analyst Mark Smith initiated coverage of Big 5 Sporting with a Buy rating and $15 price target. With the pandemic driving demand for sporting goods, Smith views the company's convenience factor as a small-footprint, neighborhood retailer being attractive to consumers. Big 5 has been able to maintain a healthy store base and grow sales, steering "well-clear of the retail graveyard" that has clamed rivals such as Sports Authority, Sports Chalet, G.I. Joe's, MC Sports, City Sports and Modell's, Smith added.
