Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Iconix Brand Group stock:

• 1. FBR & Co analysts commented, "We are reiterating our Buy rating, estimates, and $8.50 price target on ICON after meeting with Iconix management. With financial pressures basically cured for the near term and the company focused on driving organic revenue growth and new licensing agreements for key brands, we believe that ICON, trading under 8.5x our somewhat conservative 2018 EPS projection, represents a compelling investment in the current management team and a shifting business model that still provides material visibility and free cash flow. We also believe that, as the company moves key brands to new homes, investors will view the perceived risks to the business model as shrinking and drive higher valuations." (9/14/2017)
• 2. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Shares of Iconix have been underperforming the Zacks Categorized industry since past six months. Further, Iconix also reported weaker-than-expected first-quarter 2017 results, wherein both earnings and revenues lagged the Zacks Consensus Estimate and declined year-over-year. The company also slashed its sales guidance expectation for 2017. Though the divestment of non-core brands like Sharper Image and Badgley Mischka are in-line with the company’s focus on managing its portfolio and spending resources on businesses that generate significant volume, we note that Iconix has been witnessing sluggishness in the women's and men's segments in the last nine consecutive quarters. With the sale of the company’s Peanuts and Strawberry Shortcake brands, management expects to reduce its debt. However, it expects challenging retail environment, sluggish international segment and competitive pressure also remain headwinds." (7/17/2017)
