“While margin/EPS profiles have come under pressure from freight and wages at TJX and ROST - sales productivity, lease adjusted ROIC and free cash flow are accelerating into CY19. We see upside to guidance and consensus estimates for ROST and TJX and an acceleration in EPS growth exiting this year at a double-digit pace,” Kernan wrote in a note.
The analyst said TJ Maxx had the highest traffic and the best in-store presentation among peers.
Kernan also highlighted that PVH Corp (NYSE:PVH)’s Calvin Klein and Capri Holdings Ltd (NYSE:CPRI) Michael Kors were the brands most prevalent in all three Burlington stores the group visited, and Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger were prevalent in all stores visited.
Burlington’s new store cohort is an opportunity, as the company unveils a new brand standard.
“Everything about the visual presentation including the lighting, flooring, category signage, sight lines, and improved accessibility and customer navigation should lead to improved productivity vs. the existing chain as 353 out of the 675 stores are in new or remodeled format - with 456 stores in new brand standard by year-end FY19 on a base of 725,” the analyst wrote in the note.
