27% profit every 20 days?
This is what Nic Chahine averages with his option buys. Not selling covered calls or spreads… BUYING options. Most traders don’t even have a winning percentage of 27% buying options. He has an 83% win rate. Here’s how he does it.
Hibbett, Inc.'s (NASDAQ:HIBB) differentiated approach to athletic retail and growth potential are turning Telsey Advisory Group bullish on the retail stock.
The Hibbett Analyst: Cristina Fernández initiated coverage of Hibbett with an Outperform rating and $110 price target.
The Hibbett Takeaways: Hibbett has benefited from strong athletic apparel and footwear demand during the pandemic, and further growth is ahead, Fernández said in a Thursday note.
The company’s operating margins doubled in 2020 to 10% and are forecast to expand to 13.5% in 2021, the analyst said. By 2025, revenue is expected to reach $2 billion, with a 13.5% operating margin, she said.
Hibbett has a “unique geographic footprint” relative to its peers in that its stores are primarily situated in small rural areas, giving it near-exclusive access to these markets, Fernández said.
Additionally, the company is expected to accelerate store openings over the next several years, the analyst said.
Hibbett also emphasizes a complete head-to-toe look, she said, adding that this complete outfit emphasis gives Hibbett a more balanced sales mix between footwear (64% of sales) and apparel (27% of sales), differentiating it from primary competitors Foot Locker (NYSE:FL) and Finish Line, which derive 85-90% of sales from footwear.
The company offers an attractive valuation given its growth potential, said Fernández.
It trades at a 10.3x P/E multiple over the next 12 months, a discount to its historical multiples but a premium to its peer group, the analyst said.
Telsey's $110 price target was calculated by applying a 12x P/E multiple on projected 2022 EPS of $9.17.
HIBB Price Action: Hibbett shares lost 0.33% Thursday, closing at $92.79.
