ZQK what a company. Look for higher prices in the weeks ahead. Quiksilver CEO comfortable with Q2 sales target NEW YORK, March 10 (Reuters) - Snowboard and sportswear maker Quiksilver Inc. (NYSE:ZQK - news) expects to meet Wall Street's second quarter growth projections with a 30 percent boost in sales after beating analysts's first quarter estimates on Wednesday. The company's chief executive, Robert McKnight, told Reuters he was comfortable with the sales projection building on first quarter sales of $85.9 million.

''Obviously there's a lot of momentum in our product, our bookings, everything else,'' McKnight said. ''There's just higher than expected sales.

On Wednesday, the company reported a 60 percent jump in first quarter earnings posting income of $3.35 million or $0.22 a share on revenues of $85.9 million vs. earnings of $2.12 million or $0.15 a share on sales of $55.2 million last year.
