J. Jill, Inc Is Not Ready To Rally Back Up The Hill 

Thomas Hughes

J. Jill, Inc (NYSE: JILL) reported a fantastic FQ4 and even gave fairly robust guidance but it is not, we think, enough to sustain a rally. While the company was able to grow revenue from last year and widen its margin the outlook for this year is tepid at best.

Jabil, Inc (NYSE: JBL) is benefiting from secular tailwinds and strong demand in all end-markets and that has shares up more than 7.0% following the FQ2 results. The problem, for us, is that price action after the pop is a little bearish and the analysts have yet to say anything.
