CAPS Rating:
***

X

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 players 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.

I've been reading TMFSarahGen's posts lately. Always insightful. I copy her on this pick.
One time a girlfriend dragged me into a Sally's Beauty Supply. It pretty much sucked for me, right up there with all the times mom made me go shopping for fabric. Man, fabric stores are the worst. <...More

Kind of a hedge play since I'm not bullish on retail.

But am convinced by SaraGen and follow up with my wife.

I went to the mall and watched every tween, teen, & mom stop by the store; the only bags in the mall were orange ULTA bags. Several "metro" male friends have been shopping here for years. I visited 2 other stores & saw steady streams of mini-vans full of moms & daughters stop in to shop. The business model (value name brand cosmetics & sundries with a salon) makes sense in this tight economy and CEO Kirby mentioned, the client is not trading down on quality - she is choosing to pay less for the same salon/department store cosmetic brands. A risk is growth too fast (average 18 stores per quarter), but they kept the pace last year. Inventory levels have been a question as well but Kirby has answered reasonably citing new distribution centers. Cost of goods has remained flat. Good focus on 2nd & 3rd tier cities for growth & good store locations are training the next generation of shoppers to visit specialty value retailers like ULTA.

in a bad economy, women will be looking to step up their game to land that rich husband.

Great pitch from TMFSarahGen: http://caps.fool.com/Blogs/ViewPost.aspx?bpid=52459&t=010099...

Plus, my wife has loved this store for 5+ years - when we used to drive from NC to Atlanta twice a year, she always had to stop and spend an hour or so at Ulta. Now that it's scaled out, she can go here at home, and their customer service has always been top notch. It's risky buying stocks based on her purchasing patterns (see my dscm pick) but it looks like TMFSarahGen has done dd for me here!

Clicking "Beat this Stock!" will bring you to a company with a higher rating than the one you're currently viewing.

Even though CAPS shows only one- to five-star rankings, behind the scenes, all companies in CAPS have a distinct numerical ranking. In other words, there is a No. 1 stock in CAPS and a worst-ranked stock in CAPS. When you arrive at the top-ranked stock, clicking "Beat this Stock!" will cause the page to refresh.

That is, until there is a new No. 1 stock!
