Guggenheim Maintains a Buy Rating on Tiffany & Co (TIF)


Guggenheim analyst Robert Drbul maintained a Buy rating on Tiffany & Co (TIF) today and set a price target of $115. The company’s shares opened today at $97.84.

Drbul noted:

“We remain BUY-rated as we believe TIF’s top-line should benefit from the ongoing investments and as the pace of product innovation happens more frequently. We also see meaningful op. margin expansion opportunity as TIF focuses on costs throughout the business. As such, we increase our PT to $115 from $110. TIF’s key strategic priorities remain 1) amplify an evolved brand message, 2) renew product offerings and enhance in-store presentations, 3) deliver an exciting omnichannel experience, 4) strengthen TIF’s competitive position and lead in key markets, 5) cultivate a more efficient operating model, and finally (and possibly most importantly), 6) inspire an aligned and agile organization.”
