Deutsche Bank initiates coverage on Five Below (NASDAQ: FIVE) with a Buy. PT $40.00.

Deutsche analyst said, "Few retailers hold the investment attributes that Five exhibits - (1) 25%+ unit growth, (2) HSD/LDD SSS growth led by traffic, (3) sizeable EBIT margin upside with a 4% fixed cost hurdle rate, & (4) a 30% LT EPS CAGR. Even with the stock up ~88% since its IPO on 7/18, we don't think FIVE looks back - see the post IPO performance of Dollar General (NYSE: DG), GNC (NYSE: GNC), Vitamin Shoppe (NYSE: VSI), & The Fresh Market (NYSE: TFM) as parallels in our space. Finally, while valuation is the biggest hurdle for most, we're willing to pay up for the growth that lies ahead for the team from Philly."
