The Wet Seal, Inc. (NASDAQ:WTSLA)

Wet Seal was unfairly punished for one time errors in their Halloween product line dropping around 30%. It is very likely to return by increasing 30% as their numbers return to normal approaching Christmas.

There is room for an all female discount retailer in a still foundering economy...

Don't like retail, but this stock is cheap and should do well, if not great.

Rising Star

There are three things that make this stock really compelling:
1. It appeals to 15-45 year old women, if your a retailer and you appeal to that age group, your doing something right.
2. The growth rate and potential on this company is really high. Its just going to keep making money.
3. The economy is getting ready to make a comeback in spending. Between the holiday season and an increase in financial security, people are going to buy some hip clothes.

Here's the buy rec:

3Y EPS>10%/yr, P/E < 20, insider interest, P/B < 20

P/E 3.6, 10.6% Insider Ownership, 1.18 Price to book, O% institutional ownership, 88.25 % eps growth rate over the past 3 years, 3 caps rating. I've had some friends who shopped here quite a bit, so it seems like a decent enough store, and the fundamentals are looking quite nice right now.

Solid fundamentals, undervalued, little downside potential at such a low PE of around 5

Local Company that I am seeing all over the place. They have very little debt and good amount of cash. Beta is also low at 1.14 indicating it moves very closely with the market.

Seem to have stabilized, including growth at Arden B; guiding profitable for 1st quarter. Strong cash position, with a little improvement could see $8-10 a share by 2010.

Oversold once again. Should be trading in the 4s.

It's a girl thing that I don't understand, but the close are popular. The business is side is great also. Sales are holding above the rest, making money and growing the company. S

From my short ideas/valuation screen

During an economic downturn, clothing companies like Wet Seal are well positioned as parents and lower income twenty-somethings turn to cheaper clothes to satisfy their fashion cravings. In addition, Wet Seal's former CEO returning (who has a massive compensation package set to kick in if the stock gets to 5$), inventory tightening at ardenB division and the launch of a new Ashley Simpson clothing line should boost revenue this quarter serving as an additional catalyst for stock price growth. Look for Wet Seal to top 5$ by back to school time in 2008.

Bottomed out, new management

This stock has bottomed out and will be headed north.
