Standpoint Research initiates coverage on Guess (NYSE: GES) with a Buy. PT range $35-40.

Analyst, Ronnie Moas, said, " I ran 330 high paying dividend stocks through my 155-variable computer model and Guess GES ranked # 8 out of 330 names. The stock also passes fundamental and subjective overlays. Had I used a cut-off point above 3.0% GES would not have been included in the queue/run. I did indeed use a 3.0% yield as a cut-off point and GES barely made it with its $0.20 quarterly dividend and share price below $27...What I like here, in addition to the fact that it scores so well on my model, is that this company will increase its store count by 35% in the next five years...hopefully revenues, margins and EPS will increase by close to that rate."

NOTE - GES forecasts 45% increase in store count over next 5 years. Standpoint analyst, Ronnie Moas, sees at least 35%
