		<description><![CDATA[Following a mixed third quarter 2012 from one of the leading designer, marketer and distributor of premium lifestyle products, Polo Ralph Lauren Corporation (RL), we retain our long-term Neutral recommendation on the stock. In the third quarter, Polo’s earnings per share of $1.78 reflected a 3% growth from $1.72 earned in the year-ago period. Quarterly earnings also surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.67 per share. The earnings beat in the quarter reflected a decline in shares outstanding as against last year. Polo Ralph Lauren&#8217;s net revenues climbed 16.6% year over year to $1,805.6 million in the quarter, which however fell short of the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1,768.0 million. Solid quarterly performance prompted management to lift its revenue growth guidance for fiscal 2012 to 20%, instead of the high-teen ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Perry Ellis International Inc. (PERY) recently approved a $20 million extension of its stock repurchase program, thereby maintaining the trend of returning wealth to its shareholders from time to time, depending on market conditions. This program now authorizes the company to repurchase up to $40 million of its common stock over a twelve-month period. Perry Ellis will fund this repurchase program through the cash balances and its available credit facility.

Although the board allocated a maximum of $40 million to carry out the program, Perry Ellis is not obligated to buyback any specific number of outstanding shares, and can reevaluate the program on an ongoing basis.

		<description><![CDATA[Recently, specialty retailer Lululemon Athletica Inc. (LULU) announced its financial results for the first-quarter 2011. Street analysts had nearly a week to ponder on the news. In the paragraphs that follow, we cover the recent earnings announcement, subsequent analysts’ estimate revisions as well as the Zacks Rank and long-term recommendation on the stock. Earnings Review Lululemon reported robust first-quarter 2011 adjusted earnings of 44 cents a share, up 63.0% from the year-ago figure of 27 cents, handily beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 38 cents. The earnings growth was primarily driven by strong top-line growth and improved margins achieved through disciplined management and operational efficiencies. The company&#8217;s 16.0% increase in comparable-store sales and 51.0% rise in Direct-to-Consumer revenue aided the 35.0% year-over-year increase in first-quarter 2011 total revenue, which climbed ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the backdrop of an upswing in global cotton prices, apparel giants are seeking alternative ways to combat the soaring raw materials cost. Hanesbrands Inc. (HBI) has inked a deal with the Portland-based Naturally Advanced Technologies (“NAT”) to supply Hanes with a proprietary fiber that could substitute cotton, namely Crailar. The terms of the agreement were not disclosed. For producing Crailar, the binding agent from flax that gives a stiff texture is removed with an enzyme wash. A textile fiber is produced that combines the strength and durability of flax with the softness and comfort of cotton. Crailar flax fibers are also said to shrink less than cotton, absorb moisture better and have increased dye uptake, which means they require fewer chemicals to achieve the same depth of color.

		<description><![CDATA[V.F. Corporation&#8217;s (VFC) fourth-quarter 2010 earnings of $1.78 per share outpaced the Zacks Consensus Estimate, and jumped almost 10% from the prior-year quarter on the heels of robust sales across all brands and improved margins. We believe the acquisition of Rock and Republic will allow V.F. Corp. to compete in the premium-denim space dominated by Los Angeles designers. Furthermore, the company&#8217;s capital strength allows it to sustain its focus on international expansion, increasing direct-to-consumer business, and investments in key brands going forward. In addition, V.F. Corp. expects full-year 2011 earnings in the range of $7.00 to $7.10 per share. Currently, we are maintaining a long-term Outperform rating on the stock. Our target price of $108.00, 15.3x 2011 EPS, reflects this view. V F CORP (VFC): Free Stock Analysis Report Zacks ]]></description>

The quarterly earnings of $1.72 per share surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.28 and rose 56.4% from the prior-year quarter on the heels of a strong top-line and better margin performance. The company leverages its sturdy array of globally renowned brands and their premium positioning to bolster its well-established business in the specialty retailing sector. Moreover, management&#8217;s initiatives to capitalize on opportunities in Asia and reduce long-term debt augur well for future operating performance. Further, management expects revenue to increase in the low double-digit range and has revised upward its operating margin guidance by 50 basis points (bps).

		<description><![CDATA[by Tony D’Altorio, Investment U Research Friday, February 25, 2011 Cotton prices have surged beyond $2 a pound, the highest level they’ve ever hit. The fiber didn’t even go that high during the Civil War’s cotton embargo. It is now up 170% since a year ago and more than 40% since the beginning of 2011. Short-term squeezes have definitely contributed, as mills scramble to buy futures contracts to fix physical supply prices. But there are solid fundamentals to blame as well. Demand for textiles, especially from China, has rebounded sharply from lows set in the global financial crisis. Meanwhile, on the supply side, flooding has led to very poor cotton crops in Pakistan and Australia. In short, cotton prices aren’t going down anytime soon.

		<description><![CDATA[Polo Ralph Lauren Corp.&#8216;s (RL) fiscal 2010 fourth-quarter earnings more than doubled to $1.13 per share from 44 cents in the year-ago period, driven by higher sales and robust gross margin. In addition, quarterly earnings surged past the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 63 cents derived from 14 covering analysts. Quarterly Details Polo&#8217;s net revenues during the quarter rose 9.2% to $1.3 billion from $1.2 billion in the prior-year quarter. The growth was primarily driven by strong retail sales, which grew 31% year over year to $554.3 million, mainly due to solid growth in same-store sales, benefit of a 53rd week and contribution from newly-assumed Asian operations. However, overall revenues were partially offset by wholesale revenues, which declined 3% year over year to $736.0 million due to lower global apparel shipments. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Polo Ralph Lauren Corp. (RL), a leading global designer and distributor of premium lifestyle products, has decided to relocate some of its distribution business from West Virginia to Piedmont Triad in order to consolidate its operation in the region.

		<description><![CDATA[Polo Ralph Lauren Corporation (RL) reported results for the second quarter of fiscal 2010 with earnings of $1.75 per share. Earnings were well above the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 96 cents and were up 10.8% year-over-year. Net sales for the quarter declined 3.4% year-over-year to $1.3 billion, primarily due to lower domestic wholesale sales, a reduction in same-store sales at the company’s retail segment and approximately 1% unfavorable impact of foreign currency translation. These were partially offset by the wholesale contribution of formerly licensed childrenswear and golf apparel products in Japan, and low single-digit currency growth in Europe. Gross margins for the quarter expanded 189 basis points (bps) to 59.1% versus 57.3% in the comparable prior-year quarter. The increase was attributable to improved wholesale and retail segment margins, particularly in ]]></description>

Earnings per share narrowly missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by a penny at $1.94 compared to $2.10 in the year-ago period. The year-over-year decrease in the EPS was primarily due to higher pension expense and the adverse effect of foreign currency translation. Segmentwise, revenues in the Outdoor and Action Sports division were relatively flat, while that of the Sportswear and Contemporary Brands division reported 4% and 3% quarterly increase respectively, on a year-over-year comparison. Although revenues were down in the Jeanswear segment, it improved sequentially from the previous quarter with strong performance ]]></description>

(BEBE) recently reported fourth-quarter results and guided to a bleak first quarter amid a turbulent environment and slumping sales. The company’s quarterly earnings excluding one-time items came in at 4 cents a share.

Today’s price of $18.25 getting close to the 52-week low of $16.05 it reached in November. And to add insult to (sports?) injury, original investors in the athletic wear company will note it’s well below what they paid in the 2005 IPO. But while many analysts suggest this company may be a one trick pony – akin to Crocs, (Nasdaq: CROX). They couldn’t be more wrong. The reason its share price was penalized was that analysts were expecting $1.09 instead of the .79 reported. This is a classic case of overreaction from a negative earnings report. The fact of the matter is that this brand has developed a ]]></description>
