In a new report, Deutsche Bank analyst Paul Trussell discusses the firm’s top three retail stock picks for 2016. Trussell believes this year will be about all about the low-end retail segment.

“Our best ideas are proven winners in their sector, each outperforming peers on the top-line,” he explained. “We argue that these trends are sustainable and underappreciated at current multiples, especially with catalysts ahead.”

Deutsche Bank’s first top pick, Foot Locker, Inc. (NYSE: FL) has been a leader in the sneaker trend, which Trussell says is a secular, not a cyclical, trend. He sees major potential for margin expansion as well.

The firm’s second top pick, J C Penney Company Inc (NYSE: JCP), has finally begin to gain some market share momentum and has opportunity for margin expansion as well.

Finally, Deutsche Bank likes Costco Wholesale Corporation (NASDAQ: COST) as a top retail stock pick. In addition to margin expansion opportunities, the firm sees revenue growth drivers such as organic food and a number of catalysts, including IT modernization and the transition to Visa.
