Children's Place Retail Stores, Inc. (PLCE)

CAPS Rating:
*

The Company is a specialty retailer of children's merchandise. It designs, contract to manufactures and sells high-quality, value-priced merchandise under its proprietary 'The Children's Place' and licensed 'Disney Store' brand names.

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.

Excellend B/S, sheltered from unstable economy, recently dumped "Disney Stores" business, this stock says they are focused and are ready to concentrate on their core business. You can expect a big turn around from this company.

Okay, they're taking corrective action to turn this one around and had 1 not so disastrous quarter. The share has shot up. Can they do 2 in this environment. It's going to be hard. They're starting from the wrong place compared to other retailers and I don't think they're going to make it.

Better than expected earnings means buy buy buy, right? Wrong. The worst is yet to come for US retail.
