Pivotal Research Sticks to Its Buy Rating for Zumiez Inc (ZUMZ)


In a report released today, Mitch Kummetz from Pivotal Research reiterated a Buy rating on Zumiez Inc (ZUMZ), with a price target of $28. The company’s shares closed yesterday at $21.27.

Kummetz observed:

“We would also note that ZUMZ’ updated 4Q SSS outlook implies a (2)% January comp, which we believe is conservative. ZUMZ’ shares have been a roller coaster over the last six months, and, while they’ve appreciated nicely over the last few weeks, the stock still trades at an FTM P/E of <12x. Using history as a guide, it’s usually a good time to own this stock when the company’s FTM P/E is below its T52W average, which is 14.1x. That said, we’re reiterating our BUY rating."

According to TipRanks.com, Kummetz is a 4-star analyst with an average return of 5.2% and a 60.5% success rate. Kummetz covers the Services sector, focusing on stocks such as Foot Locker Inc, Shoe Carnival, and Genesco Inc.

Zumiez Inc has an analyst consensus of Strong Buy, with a price target consensus of $27.25, which is a 28.1% upside from current levels. In a report released today, Jefferies also maintained a Buy rating on the stock with a $28 price target.
