What are Wall Street analysts saying about Chico's FAS stock?
Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Chico's FAS stock:
- 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Chico's FAS, Inc. is a cultivator of brands serving the lifestyle needs of fashion-savvy women 30 years and older. Their brand portfolio currently consists of three brands: Chico's, White House Black Market and Soma. Their brands are all specialty retailers of private label women's apparel, accessories and related products. Currently, they operate boutiques and outlets throughout the U.S. and Canada, as well as an online presence for each of their brands. " (5/8/2018)
- 2. FBR & Co analysts commented, "We hosted upbeat meetings with Chief Financial Officer Todd Vogensen, VP of Investor Relations Julie Lorigan and VP of Financial Planning and Analysis Jennifer Ellis last week at B. Rileys’s consumer conference in NYC. Management is being proactive in reevaluating its cost structure, which we expect to continue to benefit the bottom line, and implementing omni channel capabilities, though the overall traffic environment continues to be a headwind. When CHS reported 2Q EPS in August we believe performance sequentially improved 3QTD from 2Q (3Q SSS guidance is -LSD vs -8% 2Q comp) and we believe better performance has continued (excluding any hurricane impact) as products are resonating better with consumers. Note though August is traditionally a transitional month and smallest of the quarter. We also believe that Hurricanes Harvey and Irma will have a ~1% impact on 3Q performance as 325 stores were closed. While there will likely continue to be environmental pressure in the short term, we expect topline to continue to improve in 2H with better product resulting in significant margin upside with cost-cutting/ operational initiatives."
