Jim Cramer - Mad Money Levi Strauss & Co. LEVI-N BUY Oct 06, 2021

Though apparel companies are struggling due to global supply chain worries, LEVI is thriving. The company is well-run and denim is back in style. The stock jumped to $30 in July but has drifted lower to $24. They reported a blowout after today's close. Q3 net revenues are up 41% YOY powered by strong margins. Management guided conservatively. There is room to run.

TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly With net sales up almost 15% over the year, this iconic global brand is a TOP PICK. Recently reported earnings beat expectations by over 25% and support a stellar 40% ROE. It trades at 12x earnings, compared to peers at 30x. Management guidance remains online and projects growth continuing through the balance of the year. We recommend a stop loss at $13, looking to achieve $27 -- upside potential over 55%.

BUY
Delivered today small revenue and earnings beats, plus a bullish full-year forecast. Accomplished, because the apparel group has had a tough time.
DON'T BUY

Today, it reported an earnings and sales beat, but shares fell 16%. They lowered their full-year gross margin outlook a lot, but didn't touch earnings guidance. Also, they forecast a sales decline around 8-12% this quarter.

PARTIAL BUY

Could benefit from the weight-loss drug boom, because those who take those drugs will need need jeans. But the company reported a weak quarter and cut guidance.

BUY

They just reported a slight revenue, but a strong earnings beat but didn't adjust their guidance. Shares are up 40% this year.

COMMENT

They just reported a minor sales miss but an earnings beat and cut their full-year revenue forecast though asserted their earnings would meet the midpoint of previous guidance. Europe and direct-to-consumer are strong, but Asian and America are weaker.

BUY

It reported after the bell superb 12% YOY sales growth, strength in the Americas, Europe and direct to consumer channels. They beat gross margins, but due to higher expenses, they delivered a modest earnings beat. Their full-year forecast was a little mixed, but overall good.

COMMENT

They report Monday. The last quarter when they offered guidance, the stock got hammered. Apparel has been a mixed bag.
