The bank also raised its target price for Seventh Continent to US$31 from $24.


The bank’s analysts said they had made the move as the Russian retailer continues to open new stores, which should allow it to exceed its 2008 revenue expectations.


In a note, Citigroup’s analysts said: “Accelerated selling space expansion suggests that the retailer is likely to boost revenue growth in 2008 and exceed our previous revenue expectations for the year.”
