Dillard's, Inc. (DDS) first-quarter 2012 earnings of $1.88 per share beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.67 and surged over 48% from the prior-year quarter. The robust performance was backed by strong comparable-store sales growth and improved margins. Management is also undertaking restructuring initiatives and inventory reduction efforts to reduce costs while boosting its profitability.

Dillard's wholly-owned REIT and Captive Insurance Company will facilitate it in managing risks more efficiently while enhancing its liquidity position. Further, Dillard's healthy balance sheet and adequate cash flows allow it to make shareholder friendly moves, such as acquisitions, dividends and share repurchases.

In addition, the recently modified credit line agreement is expected to further enhance its financial flexibility by allowing the company to borrow more funds at the same level of inventory pledged. Currently, we maintain a long-term Outperform recommendation on the stock.
