		<description><![CDATA[We have downgraded our recommendation on Kirkland&#8217;s, Inc. (KIRK) to Underperform from Neutral following the company&#8217;s second-quarter 2011 results, which posted a loss of $0.02 per share compared with earnings of $0.16 in the prior-year period. Kirkland&#8217;s also missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate earnings of $0.02 per share as cost of sales grew coupled with increased operating expenses. The company however anticipates total sales and margins to be sequentially higher but may be offset by the impact from higher expenses related to store openings. Consequently, Kirkland&#8217;s expects sales and earnings in third-quarter 2011 to be similar to those reported in second-quarter 2011. Moreover, we believe that the current business trends and the uncertain economic outlook in the U.S. will negatively impact the company&#8217;s future performance. Our six-month target price of ]]></description>

(KIRK) primarily competes with specialty stores, department stores, discount stores, and catalog and Internet retailers that carry merchandise in one or more categories that Kirkland s does. Competing retailers include Bed, Bath &#38; Beyond, Pier 1 Imports and Williams-Sonoma. The global economic environment has been challenging for the past fifteen months.

		<description><![CDATA[Kirkland&#8217;s, Inc. (KIRK) again reported weak fourth-quarter 2011 results with earnings of $0.70, which was 35.2% below the prior-year quarter. The company&#8217;s susceptibility to the global economic downturn, coupled with stiff competition, severely undermines the company&#8217;s future growth prospects and profitability. The company expects comparable store sales to be flat or marginally negative for fiscal 2011. For the first quarter of 2011, the company expects sales to be in the range of $94 million to $96 million. Comparable same-store sales are expected to decline in the high single-digit range. Our long-term Underperform recommendation on the stock indicates that it would perform well below the broader market. Our target price of $14.00, 11.3X 2012 EPS, reflects this view.
