Over the hump, this one is posed to take off. Recent price cut will reverse and take HBI to new heights...

Comfortable clothes and under garments at affordable pricing. Not everyone can, or wants to, spend big money on their underwear.

Got this stock by owning SLE in a "spin off". I like the concept of selling affordable, quality, clothing, but having Michael Jordan and Kevin Bacon as spokespeople can't be good for the Ad budget.

From everything I have read, IMHO the management is making the right decisions and doing the right things to increase shareholder value.

Disclaimer: I own HBI shares.

Hanesbrands (HBI) is a consumer goods company with a portfolio of leading apparel brands, including Hanes, Champion, Playtex, Bali, Just My Size, barely there and Wonderbra. The company designs, manufactures, sources and sells a range of apparel essentials, such as t-shirts, bras, panties, men’s underwear, kids’ underwear, socks, hosiery, casualwear and activewear.

The U.S. population is predicted to increase at a rate of less than 1% annually, with the rate of increase declining through 2050, with a continued aging of the population and a shift in the ethnic mix. Moreover, factors like continued increases in body size across all age groups and genders, and especially among children, will drive demand for plus-sized apparel. It is also estimated that plus size represents the fastest growing category in the women’s apparel market, with junior plus-size as the fastest growing segment within the demographic. Hanesbrands with a leading position in most of the brands it markets should be able to gain maximum out of these favorable dynamics for apparel essential industry.

The company during fiscal 2006 witnessed a decline in revenues by 4.3% on account of weakness in its innerwear segment including T-shirts and underwear. However on a positive note has been successfully able to spin-off Sara Lee and discontinue its lower-margin outerwear segment. Moreover, Hanesbrands has strengthened its capital structure by reducing its debt. The company entered fiscal 2007 by reorganizing its supply-chain and is going to further strengthen its brands by investing in advertisement. Looking at all these aspects it Hanesbrands should outperform the market in the coming one year.

This stock seems to have been overloaded with debt before being soun off by Sara Lee. I will need to be convinced that there really is some substance here before changing my view.

Check out COH. When it spun off from SLE, it did over 900% in 5 years.

Once the debt issues are resolved, HBI will have increased by at least 50%

Stable cash-flows combined with lots of debt will (hopefully) create earnings growth through leverage.
