Siegel awaited a better entry point on the stock. The price target of $126 was based 25x the firm’s FY16 EPS estimate of $5.36 discounted back one year.
Siegel expected ongoing comp and EPS consistency in Sally Beauty, however, “with the shares up 20 percent in the last six months (vs S&P 500 up 4.3 percent), SBH has been on an impressive run, with expectations baking in (as-yet-to-occur) reacceleration in top- and bottom-line trends.”
“Although we believe SBH is a compelling long-term value, we believe the shares may take a pause in the near term, and we await a better entry point,” according to the analyst note.
The $32 price target on SBH was based on 17x the firm’s FY15E EPS of $1.71.
Sally Beauty recently traded at $30.05, down 1.89 percent.
Ulta Salon, Cosmetics & Fragrance recently traded at $131.93, down 0.23 percent.
