While the company's management is recognized for its effectiveness, particularly following the acquisition of Hanes, which offers a significant opportunity for improvement, there are divergent views on its short-term prospects. Some analysts suggest holding onto the stock while observing its behavior around the $60 mark, indicating a potential sell opportunity if it fails to bounce back.

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.
