The Buckle, Inc. (BKE)

CAPS Rating:
**

The Company is a retailer of medium to better-priced casual apparel, footwear and accessories for fashion conscious young men and women.

Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other members to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

Solid company with insane customer service. These guys know how to sell. If you've ever been in one, you know what I'm talking about. Great clothes - for teens or 20-somethings. Take it long.

High valuation relative to its historical norms, lack of margin levers, limited sq footage growth and significant reliance on other manufacturers products will lead to underperformance in '07 for BKE.

Picked as an underperform due to the slowing economy. Fashion conscious young men and women will be among the segment that starts to save.

E2008-08-21 10:30am Great store, fast growth, stylish and trendy. They better not disappoint with earnings. Sales up about 20%. But does it translate to the bottom line? Are they cutting prices to move merchandise in this economy? Are material costs up. Sales up. Ok. But what about the bottom line? P/E is jazzed for a good quarter. Are they going to do it? Nah, to risky for a thumb up.

From my HiGrowthLoDebt screen.

Insider Ownership > 51% (3rd of 11 stocks found by the screen)
EV/FCF < 15

Not spectacular stats, but worth tracking to see how my screen's picks work out.
