Analysts have been eager to weigh in on the Services sector with new ratings on Tapestry Inc (TPR) and Carvana Co (CVNA).
Tapestry Inc (TPR)
Oppenheimer analyst Brian Nagel maintained a Buy rating on Tapestry Inc today and set a price target of $50. The company’s shares closed yesterday at $30.75, close to its 52-week low of $30.05.
Nagel commented:
“Market sentiment toward shares of Tapestry (TPR) has deteriorated lately, as investors have fretted increasingly over persistently weak sales and uneven margins at the company. Thus far in 2019, TPR is down 9%. The largely in-line fiscal Q3 (Mar.) result that TPR reported today, while by no means signaling a clear end to the woes of the company, should comfort investors that trends have seemingly stabilized. Overall, sales at Coach tracked a bit higher, while top line trends at Kate Spade improved upon the launch of a new collection. Clients should interpret our Outperform rating on TPR as a relative call within the handbag segment of our coverage. Amongst leading brands, we continue to look much more favorably upon Nike (NKE) and lululemon (LULU).”
According to TipRanks.com, Nagel is a 5-star analyst with an average return of 8.9% and a 64.5% success rate. Nagel covers the Services sector, focusing on stocks such as Weight Watchers International, Dick’s Sporting Goods, and Advance Auto Parts.
