Brean Murray Downgrades J. Crew (JCG) to Sell; Injecting Some Sanity into the Mix

March 20, 2009 9:54 AM EDT

Brean Murray downgrades J. Crew (NYSE: JCG) from Hold to Sell. Price target $9.

Brean analyst says, "We are lowering our rating to Sell as we believe the post Q4 earnings euphoria is overdone. While we understand the inherent appeal of J. Crew as a shopping experience, we believe there is no evidence to call a turn in the chain and, with the inventory levels still too high for at least the next two quarters, we believe the potential for further top and bottom-line misses remain high. As such, qwith JCG now trading at 21.9x our FY11 estimate and 18x FY11 Street consensus EPS estimates, we believe the risk/reward of owning JCG remains too high."
