TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly We reiterate ANF as a TOP PICK. It trades at just under 3x book value and has a PEG ratio under 1.0. It has been building cash holdings, while paying off debt and buying back stock. We would buy this with a stop loss at $27.50, looking to achieve $53 -- upside potential over 37%. Yield 0% (Analysts’ price target is $52.78)

TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly Leveraging off its online marketing efforts and optimizing operations, ANF continues to perform well and is again reiterated as a TOP PICK. Despite supply chain issues, management's strategy to rationalize store base is offsetting rising costs. Recently reported earnings beat analyst expectations by 30% and it is managing a ROE of 32%. We like that it has been building cash holdings, while paying off debt and buying back stock. We continue to recommend a stop loss at $27.50, looking to achieve $45.50 -- upside potential over 30%. Yield 0% (Analysts’ price target is $45.57)

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jan 18/22, Down 18.5%)Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O’Reilly Our PAST TOP PICK with ANF has triggered its stop at $27.50. To remain disciplined, we recommend covering the position at this time. This will result in a net investment loss of 23%, when combined with our previous buy recommendation.
RISKY

Is up 216% this year and expectations are sky-high going into earnings this week. This is a huge risk if ANF disappoints in any way.

BUY

Great company. Excellent earnings. Would recommend buying. 

BUY

Top management have created amazing places to shop that attract Millennials and GenZers. Shares have more than doubled in the past year. They reported a huge EPS beat today. Their new wedding shop has succeeded huge.

WEAK BUY

They report this week, so you're playing Russian roulette, but it's a great operator run by a fine CEO. He expects a good quarter.

DON'T BUY

Is -17% in the past month, after they failed to delivered big numbers in their last quarter, a bad quarter.
