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%. Yield 2.4% (Analysts’ price target is $27.09)
BUY
Retail is on fire and has more room to run. Levis reported a blow out quarter over a month ago. Also, it has a huge sustainability operation by using fewer resources and generating less waste.
BUY
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.

A play on the consumer getting back out. A trend that tailored fit has been popular. This has now changed to more wide legged jeans. Likes the space and company, as well as the growth factors. It is moving sideways and there will be more traction coming up. (Analysts’ price target is $35.27)
