PARTIAL BUY

Could benefit from the weight-loss drug boom, because those who take those drugs will need need jeans. But the company reported a weak quarter and cut guidance.

DON'T BUY

Today, it reported an earnings and sales beat, but shares fell 16%. They lowered their full-year gross margin outlook a lot, but didn't touch earnings guidance. Also, they forecast a sales decline around 8-12% this quarter.

BUY

Delivered today small revenue and earnings beats, plus a bullish full-year forecast. Accomplished, because the apparel group has had a tough time.

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.

Combined with the previous recommendation to cover half the position, this results in a total net investment return of 50%.

TOP PICK

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)

BUY

They had a great quarter, but is stuck, but the outlook for the denim cycle is fantastic. He recommended it before and still does. Stick with it.

BUY

An example of the checkmark-shaped recovery where companies are doing better now than before Covid. Yesterday, they reported a great quarter, based on 35% of Americans changed waist sizes during their pandemic, so they bought new pants.
