JPMorgan Chase raised its price target on shares of Abercrombie & Fitch (ANF)
from $35.00 to $48.00. They have a neutral rating on the stock. They wrote,
"After setting low enough expectations, ANF stepped over their low sales bar
with a "less-worse" -3% comp decline and better-than-expected gross margins.
With concerns over brand equity and the company's inability to stabilize comps
heading into the print, shares saw a significant short squeeze and although we
believe estimates will likely continue to increase and current levels may
continue to prove attractive, we are choosing to remain sidelined as we await
topline consistency around international trends (particularly in Europe), which
represent 30% of sales and 30%-40% of operating profits and clarity around the
turn."
Northland Securities initiated coverage on shares of Angie's List (ANGI). They
issued an outperform rating on the stock and set a $15.00 price target.
