Gildan Activewear Inc. (GIL-T) presents a mixed outlook among various experts. While some analysts highlight the recent downturn, noting a significant drop of 23% and a potential new downtrend, others see a long-term advantage due to the company's acquisition of Hanes, which is expected to benefit from Gildan's management prowess. The company's vertically integrated supply chain and domestic operations provide a competitive edge, allowing for optimized production and better pricing strategies that have expanded their margins amid broader market challenges. With a price target of $92.10 indicating a potential upside of 16%, Gildan is viewed by some as a defensive play, especially in a volatile market, suggesting that it remains an attractive option for investment despite the current price decline.

DON'T BUY

If this meets some of the analysts’ expectations, it's a lot more reasonable than it was. Earnings projections are taking them from the $.75 level last year, up to $1 in the next 2 years, so at the current price it still looks quite pricey. Thinks international competition is hitting them.

DON'T BUY

Did extremely well for years and years with high growth, high margin and a spectacular track record. His rule is that when it changes into a negative, he stays away. Usually one bad quarter is followed by another. If there is a bounce, consider selling.
