BUZZ-Floor & Decor jumps after Q4 profit, rev beat

For 2025, it guided for rev of $4.74-$4.9 bln and comp-store-sales of approx flat to 3% growth

Jefferies, which rates FND 'hold', boosted its PT by $1 to $102, saying comp sales guidance bracketed analysts' view, but was above investor expectations

Wedbush raises its PT by $5 to $105, pointing to co's stronger-than-expected cost control across all key line items (stores, G&A and pre-opening)

But Wedbush sticks with 'neutral', and cautions not to extrapolate Q4 comp sales strength into 2025, saying rebound in existing home sales has already started to reverse to begin the year
