Standpoint Research upgraded Aeropostale, Inc. (NYSE: ARO) from Hold to Buy with an $18 price target.

Analyst Ronnie Moas comments "Aeropostale shares have been washed out … now down by more than 3,000 bps versus the S&P since our February downgrade. October $13 puts have been trading actively so some are expecting a disappointment this quarter … risk averse investors may want to wait until after Q3 is reported. In my opinion, with relative strength < 10/100 bad news is already more than priced in and we will step in at this time. EPS and margins have dropped by 50% since 2009-2010 are we are betting on a reversion to the mean and that this represents a bottom."
