True Religion Apparel, Inc. (TRLG)

TRLG has historically generated a lot of free cash flow, on an increasing basis, over the past 10 years. The equity growth rate, or BVPS growth, is phenomenal. ROIC growth rate is excellent, too. We have a great company here that is growing, has zero debt, and missed estimates by a penny, so all the momentum players are dumping the stock.

Their clothes are popular among the younger crowd who just happen to be feeling the effects of the economy the least.

Are they kidding? Thanks for the free money! This company grew right through the worst recession in our lifetime, if you are not an octogenarian, at least. It's gross margin GREW to 65% during this horrible year. Women - ya' gotta love 'em. Three hundred dollar jeans in an economy like this. What the heck. Follow the money. Women used to buy short skirts in a crisis; jeans with Rolls Royce price tags are the new short skirts, but they will stay in fashion evermore, I think, unless some future company with a name like True Agnostic or something grabs market share. I'm not worried.

Mmm...clothing...

TRLG is a fantastic growth company that produces and markets apparel and that is undervalued.

My wife loves their jeans. I generally do not like fashion stocks due to the fickle nature of "what's hot" and "what's not hot". However, I think this brand has a year or two of legs.

company are expanding its business not only in the US but also in Euro and other countries. have plenty of cash to assist its expenditure.

Hm, here a lot about its products.

In this down economy, TRLG is posting some impressive performance. Consistent earnings, zero debt, and actual growth. Hard to do in today's retail environment.

Is a luxury retailer that has been expectations for the last 6 or so quarters. If they can do it in a slow economy, they should be able to do well when it turns around.

A pair of their pants costs four times as much as a share of their stock.

Small cap stocks are the first to rebound, also like the products.

I picked this stock for numerous reasons: (1) low debt, (2) great fundamentals (margins, revenue and margin growth), (3) high-end niche product occupying a space not sought by mainstream apparel companies, (4) strong brand name, and what appears to be a great management team.

I'm in at $9.80 and plan to hold for the long-term, buying and selling along the way to capitalize on swings.

This stock is doing great; almost too good. The company is well liked and maintains a strong institutional holding.

I'm waiting for this stock to correct below $20 before pulling the trigger on it but it has all the makings of a great portfolio booster. It can be frustrating to wait for dips on this stock as it often behaves at an inverse to the market on down days (not really such a bad thing if you are hold a position though).

Fundamentals and momentum; favorable StockScouter rating

Great financials. For now. Enjoy their Beanie Baby like profits for the next few months. Just don't forget that jeans aren't a priority once a person's unemployment insurance has run out.

GOOD JEANS

Company knows what consumers want and is able to sell stuff at ridiculous high profits. This may change if economy really gets to it but given their cash rich position and knowing what sells, the company is set to grow..
