ARO: Bull or Bear?

Short City: Aeropostale, Burger King ARO

-9.43% in 53 days Filed under: Short stories, Burger King Hldgs (BKC), Stocks to Sell Every market is a two-sided market, and while the typical investor makes money during bullish phases, experienced investors know how to make money during bearish phases, as well. In fact, many experienced and institutional traders make more money shorting stocks than by going long. Short these shares if you can tolerate high-risk and are an experienced investor that does not remove Buy / Stop Losses.

Aeropostale (ARO) ARO

36%

+23.14% in 451 days I was looking through the list of top % gainers on the NYSE this afternoon and came across an 'old favorite' of mine acting quite well, in fact closing at $27.85, up $1.69 or 6.46% on the day. I do not own any shares nor do I have any options on this stock. <> I say 'old friend' because this will be the third time that this Aeropostale has come to this blog's attention. I first posted ARO on Stock Picks Bob's Advice on September 15, 2003 when the stock was trading at $27.25. Adjusted for two 3:2 stock splits (April, 2004, and August, 2007), this works out to a pick price of $27.... Continue reading »

Reiterating Under Perform Rating on AEO Following Earnings ARO

+28.60% in 479 days "We are reiterating our Under Perform rating on American Eagle as we think AEO faces headwinds in 2008 due to increased competition, difficult SSS (same-store sales) and peak margin comparisons in a challenging macro environment. Though at ~10.4x our FY08 reduced EPS estimate of $1.73, AEO is trading at a discount to the sector average of ~15x, AEO is trading above its long term organic growth rate of 8% to 10%, given limited square footage growth opportunities and what we think could be a difficult 2008 with negative SSS and earnings growth. Hence, we see another potential 11%-15% downside... Continue reading »

ARO - Believe Good Times Will Continue ARO

+30.54% in 481 days We reiterate our Buy rating, $32 target price and estimates with Aeropostale scheduled to announce 4Q07 results after the close on Thursday. ARO has declined over 14% (versus a 6.2% decline in the S&P Retailing Index) in the past three trading days after announcing solid February same-store sales of +7%, driven by a downgrade to Sell by a leading investment bank and fears that current growth is unsustainable. Frankly, we believe this downdraft presents investors with a prime opportunity to invest in what we believe will be one of the few retailing winners in the current economic slowdown; w...

Aeropostale (ARO) - Upgrading to Outperform ARO

+30.54% in 481 days Upgrading ARO to Outperform as the recent pullback creates an attractive entry point with shares trading at 12x our FY08 EPS estimate of $2.06...Inventory concerns seem overblown as it's due to the Easter shift and was disclosed on the last earnings call...We believe the company's recent comp momentum is worthy of a premium as ARO comps have outperformed the teen space by anywhere from 380bps – 1150bps over the past six months and by an average of 810bps over the past three months...While we have no insight into where management will guide, it's worth pointing out that ARO has posted upside...

"Revisiting a Stock Pick" Aeropostale (ARO) ARO

36%

-1.43% in 373 days (closed on 04/11/08) I was looking through the list of top % gainers on the NYSE this evening and came across an old favorite of mine, Aeropostale (ARO) which closed at $42.06, up $1.95 or 4.86% on the day. I do not own any shares nor do I own any options on this company. <>I first posted Aeropostale (ARO) on Stock Picks Bob's Advice on September 15, 2003 , when the stock was trading at $27.25. On April 27, 2004, ARO had a 3:2 stock split making the effective stock pick price actually 2/3 of that amount or $18.17. Thus, with today's close, the stock has appreciated $23.89 or 131.5% since posting about 3 1/... Continue reading »
