As a 67-year-old guy, he underestimated this company. They have a great online business during Covid and have captured the women's and teenage markets. He owns little fashion in general. He pleads the 5th on this. They've done well, but the valuation remains a little expensive.
Editor's Note - The question was his preference over PLC and ATZ. PLC has had issues but earnings are more stable. ATZ is still a bit pricey. He likes it on valuation to growth but PLC is the better buy for the next year.
High quality company.
Concerned about high retail orientation.
Revenue per square foot of retail very attractive.
Successful expansion into USA impressive.
20x earnings a good entry point - wait for shares to fall before investing.
On same growth path as LULU was. Over-inventoried from over-ordering, but still a great hold. He's buying more. Great return from sub-$40 prices. No dividend.
(Analysts’ price target is $50.14)Still believes in its long-term US growth opportunity. Stock came off on quarterly reports. Unit growth potential is attractive. Margins will be hurt this year due to inflation, inventory excess, and expenses incurred by opening new stores and a distribution centre. Revenue should still grow by double digits. No dividend.
(Analysts’ price target is $50.13)Aritzia has a great track record and a bright future along with a short term stumble. It sees opportunities and will elevate capital expenditures. It is looking for double digit revenue earnings growth for the next few years. Square footage is up 15% this year which is a very rapid rate of growth. Too much attention has been paid to margins and same store sales which will fluctuate over time. There is lots of room to grow in the U.S.

As long as you limit risk near recent lows, an attractive entry point. Downtrend is still in place. An interesting opportunity. Breaking the downtrend would be quite positive.
Taking success in Canada and bringing it to the US market. US revenue is just starting to outstrip Canadian revenue and will be a bigger part of the story. Inventory issues, stock's come off. Reports next week. Can grow to be a global presence.
Recently declined along with the wider retail sell-off. Trades at 24x forward PE to reflect their growth prospects. They can double their units in the US and their products have always been well-received by a wide age growth, from teens to mature women. They bought a company to expand into menswear, which they can expand itself. Are broadening categories into intimates and swimwear as well as different sizing. Will be volatile along with consumer spending and weakening economy, but their customer base is resilient. Also positive is that many US customers are new to Aritzia, a new market.
The question was on buying Aritzia or Lululemon. Aritzia has done very well and both have great growth profiles. They are both Canadian brands opening stores in the U.S., which could lead to potential growth in China, Europe and elsewhere. Fashion is a tough business to be in with its frequent changes so he is not buying.
Owns shares in the company.
Current share price presenting good buying opportunity.
Company is a good long term investment.
Revenue has been growing steadily.
Over supply of inventory a drag on income statement (storage costs).
Recession fears also weighing on the company.
Excellent growth profile.
Amazing Canadian business. Numbers are spectacular. Relatively good multiple, especially compared to US peers. Big piece is they're going into the US by opening stores methodically. Next 2-3 years will be great. Stock's down on concerns of a consumer recession. Unique brand. Target demographic still employed.
