MKM Partners upgraded Citi Trends (NASDAQ: CTRN) from Neutral to Buy with a price target of $18.00 (from $11.00).
The firm comments, "The print was better than expected and looks to us like a fundamental inflection point. While the stock is trading up 10% intraday, we see much more upside potential than downside risk given: (1) valuation— CTRN is still trading only in line with its $13.37 book value; (2) the strong balance sheet—CTRN has about $3.80 per share in cash and investments and no debt; and (3) the potential for sustained positive comps and substantial margin/EPS opportunities off a very depressed base. Our 12-month price target of $18 (up from $11) is 6.5x our 2013E EBITDA per share of $2.75."
