Urban Outfitters, Inc. (URBN) Will Survive But Choppy Waters are Ahead - Jefferies

May 15, 2020 7:07 AM

Jefferies analyst Janine Stichter reiterated a Buy rating and $20.00 price target on Urban Outfitters, Inc. (NASDAQ: URBN) after the company rebounded smoothly off of the bottom but the near term is likely to be choppy for investors.

The analyst stated "UO saw Search Interest trough in mid-March and is now running up ~20%. UO has executed well in distorting its assortment towards the few categories that seem to be working industry-wide: lounge/sweats (esp. the 'unofficial stay at home uniform' of the Millennial/Gen Z consumer, the tie dye sweat suit), beauty, and home". She went on to state "With a solid balance sheet, ~40% of the business online, and only ~1/3 of the fleet in traditional malls, we view URBN
as one of the better-positioned retailers over the medium term".
