Needs to cool off. Price is based on a lot of "ifs". Fighting the trend here, but I am betting on a skeptical market.

Company is a master at reducing costs and thus increasing margins.

I like the Fools write-up on the company.

I will provide an evaluation pitch from one of the observers
"The year 2006 represented:
? the second consecutive year gross margin expanded greater than 100 bps;
? the fifth consecutive year EPS increased more than 20%; and
? the seventh consecutive year with ROE of 20% or more.
• All evidence indicates momentum of this order of magnitude should continue through F2007 and F2008.
• Despite anemic Q1/F07 EPS guidance, we did not change our full year F2007 EPS estimate of $2.67.
• Gross margin benefits from continued expansion of offshore production combined with earnings
accretion from KDH should rejuvenate earnings momentum in the back half of F2007.
• We introduce our F2008 EPS estimate of $3.23. We expect sales growth of 19.4% combined with
flattish gross margins and flattish SG&A expenses as a percentage of sales.
• We are increasing our target price from C$67/US$59 to C$71/US$62 after rolling our ten-year DCF
out one fiscal year to F2016.
• Our target price represents 23.2x F2007 estimated EPS and 19.2x our newly introduced F2008 EPS
estimate. Given expected EPS growth of 28.4% in F2007 and 21.1% in F2008, we are comfortable
allotting these multiples to GIL common."
For me, this stock is the best performer (210% in 2 years). It did not behave extremely good over the year, but now it is ready to resume the uptrend.

Market leader in wholesale t-shirts. Now moving into socks (with a Walmart connection as well) on the retail side. Retail should provide higher margins and if Gildan can execute on manufacturing cost reduction they could dominate the sock market like they do for t-shirts.

More than half of the t-shirts I've seen at rock concerts in the past couple years have had Gildan on the tag.
