Levi Strauss & Co. is set to report its earnings, with expectations mixed among experts. Though the company has shown promising growth beyond its traditional jeans business and provides a 3% dividend, concerns linger regarding the impact of tariffs implemented during Trump's administration. Recent performance data indicates a modest beat in their top and bottom lines, but a slightly conservative earnings forecast has raised questions about future profitability. Conversely, the revenue outlook remains strong as the brand continues to diversify. With a 52-week high reached and a remarkable 41% increase this year, there is cautious optimism for another solid quarter but a recognition that market conditions may influence outcomes.

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.

BUY

He expects good numbers from them when they report Wednesday. We're in a denim wave.

TOP PICK

Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly The world leader in denim beat analysts estimates for earnings by 23%. Sales have been down due to the pandemic, but its e-commerce sales were up over 50%, accounting for 24% of total revenue. Morgan Stanley and Citigroup have upgraded the stock. We like the recent technical break out and see $22 as an achievable upper target -- 38% upside. We would trade this with a $12 stop-loss. Yield 1.98% (Analysts’ price target is $18.70)

BUY

It delivered an excellent last quarter, beating street estimates of sales of $800 million by reporting $1 billion. Levis made major investments in direct-to-consumer online sales. It popped 5% today and has been rallying recently. Guidance for the next quarter was excellent.

DON'T BUY

It just missed on profit estimates He doesn't know enough why this went public again. He doesn't know enough about this in terms of trading, though it's certainly under pressure. This may get oversold. The way the chart looks, he would pass on it.
