DON'T BUY

Is -17% in the past month, after they failed to delivered big numbers in their last quarter, a bad quarter.

WEAK BUY

They report this week, so you're playing Russian roulette, but it's a great operator run by a fine CEO. He expects a good quarter.

Great company. Excellent earnings. Would recommend buying.

TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly Leveraging off its online marketing efforts and optimizing operations, ANF continues to perform well and is again reiterated as a TOP PICK. Despite supply chain issues, management's strategy to rationalize store base is offsetting rising costs. Recently reported earnings beat analyst expectations by 30% and it is managing a ROE of 32%. We like that it has been building cash holdings, while paying off debt and buying back stock. We continue to recommend a stop loss at $27.50, looking to achieve $45.50 -- upside potential over 30%. Yield 0% (Analysts’ price target is $45.57)

TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly ANF grew revenue by 24% over the year, with online sales accounting for almost half -- all while expanding margins. As the pandemic winds down and supply chain certainty returns, there is good upside with this. It trades at 8x earnings compared to peers at 21x. It trades at just under 2.2x book value and has a PEG ratio under 1.0. It has been building cash holdings, while paying off debt and buying back stock. We would buy this with a stop loss at $27.50, looking to achieve $53 -- upside potential over 47%. Yield 0% (Analysts’ price target is $52.63)
DON'T BUY

Retail side of the market has been weak. There are too many questions on this one to be involved. Looking for a new merchandising manager, splitting the CEO and chairman positions and are basically saying that if an activist wants to come in, do so.

DON'T BUY
Same-store sales were down 34%. Higher end retailer and people have pulled back. Prefers lower end Buckle (BKE-N) that is based in the Midwest.
TOP PICK
This is a hedge against a decline in oil prices and rising interest. To the extent that people can't borrow more money and their energy costs decline they will tend to spend. 13 X next year’s earnings makes it very cheap. No debt.
BUY
Trades at 12 X earnings.
