MGT 401, Activity Week-2

Get a cognizance of where these associations stand today. ANF is in the best position today. Their inside thought is old, be that as it may they displayed Hollister which is especially hot. Aber. Is more east cost thought and Hollister is to a more noteworthy degree a West Coast Surf thought. Hollister has 150 stores so it has incredible advancement potential before it.

Striking back? Quality War? Does Hollister take business from Eagle? Is there room enough for everyone? Fledgling has been running negative comps. Winged animal was dispatching everything from Aber. Likewise, unloading it for 30% off. By then that strategy quit working.

Winged animal has endeavored unsuccessfully to wind up tied up with another thought while ANF's mgt. has successfully introduced a characteristically considered thought. Bird of prey bought a manufactured name in Canada and has obliterated it.

Is it precise to say that they are endeavoring to seek after their same customer base and tear up it? Ann Taylor has exhibited Ann Taylor Loft and people can pay less for the Ann Taylor brand- -so people are overwhelmed.

What happens if a brand is not as hot as it once appeared to be? ANF versus Bird, mgt has advanced well. ANF has made an average demonstrating with taking care of edges.

ANF has been against exceptional. Selective desires of evaluating and have kept up the dependability of the brand.

(Joel Greenblatt: A huge amount of the opportunity works better with tinier stocks).

ANF's Mgt. has improved their stock edges. They manage it deductively. ANF has kept up numbers especially well.

An association won't progress erraticly.

It is hard to dismember one store unless you go to the same store three times every month and you look at the stock and break out the stock.

This is the regular master report: what is jumping out at commensurate store bargains. Is it reasonably crucial that they come back to their high comp store bargains improvement -really no, not to me, in case they are pulling in some better than average coin on their stores and there is advancement and it is adequately shabby. Hollister is doing honorably yet comps are down. It doesn't energize me, nonetheless it is not basic in the end-all strategy.

Do I mind what they will do in October, in case I am holding for quite a while or more.

Comps are down 3% yet they win returns on capital in the 60%- -an awesome hypothesis. Surely the ROIC is not as exceptional, yet rather it is satisfactory depending upon the expense.

Adventure Wall Street's fixation on same store bargains. Appear to be as if they have a lot of commitment, however what they are on the catch for is the current business segment estimation of that store and the refinement in what they owe. Knowing where you are in the retail cycle. Similarly, know the thought cycle.

Take out rent cost from pay. There is a huge amount of commitment. Note the current business division estimation of area versus what the stores owe. ??? Consider lease cost and make it a player in the commitment.

A smart on regarding ANF. What is the potential frame out in their thought?

ANF @ $350/sq. ft. sq. ft. advancement potential

$100/ABER

500 more stores for Hollister for a total of 3.2 million sq. ft. absolute 4.1 million sq. ft. @ 20% edge = $1.80 EPS, $2.50 then $4.3 with a 12 various (15 - 20 different for basically indistinguishable stocks in retail) = $52 and with 20x = $86. By then incorporate expected $10 each offer in exchange to grow in for cash development to current $5 each offer in genuine cash -subsequently $15 each offer in genuine cash - $52 + $15 = $67.
