Burlington Stores (BURL) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Burlington Stores Inc. is projecting a sales increase of 5%-7% year-over-year, with comparable store sales expected to remain flat to up by 2% for both Q3 and Q4. The company forecasts greater year-over-year EBIT margin expansion in Q4, driven by favorable gross margin dynamics and SG&A leverage. Sequential improvements were noted in all demographic trade areas, with lower-income and Hispanic-oriented stores performing particularly well, indicating strong resilience and adaptability in diverse markets.
Bears say
Burlington Stores Inc. is projected to experience a contraction in operating margin by 30 basis points, resulting in an operating margin of 5.3%, which is lower than both consensus and company guidance expectations. Additionally, the earnings per share (EPS) forecast for Q3 is expected to remain flat compared to the previous year at $1.55, which is below market consensus of $1.64, highlighting potential revenue challenges. Furthermore, the anticipated decline in gross margin, driven by tariff pressures and a slowdown in consumer activity across various demographics, adds significant risk to the company's financial outlook.
