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

I think it will suffer from the general malaise in the retail sector.

does not deserve to be at a 52 week high...retail should be down for the most part...not ANF but BKE should definitley be down
Recs
One of the better retailers, but appears to have reach full fundamental near term valuation; technicals suggest 3-4 pt. pullback likely within next couple of quarters.
Recs
Buckle occupies an awkward position in the market, much like the Gap. With prices higher than discount stores, but less than high priced boutiques, Buckle is set up to follow in the path of Gap. I forsee less interest in the company and lowered sales over the next year.
Recs
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.
