CAPS Rating:
**

A value-priced retailer of urban fashion apparel and accessories for the entire family.

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.

Bottoming out now. The institutional investors made their money and are dumping the stock. Long-term the story looks good. CTRN is almost totally based in the south now. East Coast penetration no farther than Baltimore. Think of all the untapped ghetto markets. NJ/NY and California are beckoning. I ...More

Seems this retailer is supposed to be value-priced. I don't live in the Southeast, but I checked prices on the website. $35 for a shirt. That isn't value priced in my pocketbook! Plus, their website stinks!

Shares of Citi Trends Inc. are rising, after the apparel maker said fourth-quarter profit beat expectations and it offered a strong 2008 forecast.

The company forecast a profit of $1.10 to $1.15 per share, while analysts polled by Thomson Financial predict a profit of $1 per share. Citi Trends said fourth-quarter net income fell 19 percent to $8.4 million, or 59 cents per share, as it increased markdowns to clear inventory. Analysts expected a smaller profit of 44 cents per share.

Wachovia Capital Markets analyst Lyn Rhoads Walther said the company has made a number of changes to help profit, including paring down inventory, installing surveillance cameras to reduce theft and more closely aligning payroll hours with sales.

Latest Earning Report this past week WAS weak, as is the fashion-mix for this company.





Combine this with the downward trending apparel market this holday season and you have a worsening picture for 1st Quarter '08.





The latest major swing to a loss combined with the company's lowered guidance should raise a big enough red flag.





If you must be in Retail, there are many other more attractive options than CTRN, which will not recover until well into 2008 (if then).

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