In a report released today, Brian Nagel from Oppenheimer maintained a Buy rating on Conn’s (CONN), with a price target of $40. The company’s shares opened today at $26.48.
Nagel noted:
“Shares of CONN are trading lower today following a generally in-line Q3:18 (Oct.) report and Q4 (Jan. 2019) guidance from the company. We look upon the pullback in shares as much more a function of a still edgy market than of any underlying issues CONN. CEO Norm Miller and his team continue to work tirelessly to rejuvenate the business model. Once again, trends suggest a much healthier credit business and indications of improved results at retail. In our view, the market continues to underestimate the now much-improved EPS power of the company. Our price target remains $40.”
