BUY ON WEAKNESS

They reported a terrific quarter, so he doesn't understand why shares fell 3%. Their outlook was in-line and they delivered strong earnings. This could be a fantastic buying opportunity.

BUY

They reported a super quarter this morning. It was a dog for a long time, but the new CEO is turning things around.

DON'T BUY
Was cut from the S&P

It left in April, shares kept falling, not helped by reporting a bad quarter on May 22. It fell to a 52-week bottom, but has since recovered slightly.

DON'T BUY

Dicey. A great CEO, but all their inventory needs to be cleared before he can call this a buy.

DON'T BUY

They've fallen behind in almost apparel category including VANS sneakers. The CEO warned that there's no quick fix. Is down 32% this year, though up 3.87% today.

BUY

They reported a kitchen-sink quarter today where managers throw in everything bearish to get ahead of things. The new CEO has a fine track record and this was his first quarter at VFC: in-line sales, slightly weaker than expected earnings, slashed its free-cash guidance and cut dividend. He's pulling for them.

BUY

Reports Monday and could surprise. Pays a 7% dividend.

DON'T BUY
Piper Sandler Teen Survey results

Fell to #5. Brands include Vans. He's stunned at how bad this once-great company is.

DON'T BUY

Pays a good dividend but because the stock has fallen so much (they cut their dividend). He doesn't like apparel except Ralph Lauren.

1550+ opinions with 4.81 rating (one of the best performing expert).

TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly The retailer owns the brand names of The North Face and Vans. Its recently reported earnings were on par with expectations and supported a strong ROE of 35%. The company has continued to grow cash reserves, while retiring debt and buying back shares. It pays a good dividend that has been growing for 48 consecutive years and is backed by a payout ratio under 65% of cash flow. We recommend setting a stop loss at $36.00, looking to achieve $64.50 -- upside potential over 42%. Yield 4.3% (Analysts’ price target is $64.50)
SELL ON STRENGTH
Don't sell. There are better apparel stocks though. If this rises, lighten up. Pays around a 3% dividend.
STRONG BUY
Will soon be reporting earnings and are looking forward to evaluating it. Starting this March, will probably start getting year over year earnings.
BUY
Got caught up in a very poor small cap market.
