Deutsche Bank initiates coverage on Vitamin Shoppe (NYSE: VSI) with a Buy. PT $50.00.
Deutsche analyst says, "The VSI model is inherently strong for 3 reasons. First, VMS industry growth is one of the best in retail with a 5-yr. CAGR of 5.7%, fueled by today’s aging population. To this end, 22.2% of the U.S. population will be greater than 60 years old by 2020, up from 17.7% in 2008. Second, VSI faces limited price competition with Wal-Mart (NYSE: WMT) as SKU overlap is only 3-4%. Third, 87% of VSI sales are registered through its Healthy Rewards loyalty card, which gives the company excellent sales visibility and allows for marketing/advertising dollar efficiency."
