Burlington Stores (BURL) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Burlington Stores Inc demonstrated strong sales performance, achieving a 10% year-over-year growth, significantly surpassing the initial guidance of 5%-7% for total sales growth. The company's operational efficiency improved, supported by a higher revenue base and the rapid rollout of smaller format stores, which is anticipated to yield approximately 12% operating margin in fiscal year 2029, indicating potential for multiple expansion. With expectations for second-half sales growth to outpace the first half, aided by 100 net new store openings primarily in the third quarter, Burlington Stores is well-positioned for continued growth moving forward.
Bears say
Burlington Stores Inc. is experiencing potential operating margin contraction in the upcoming quarter, coupled with a subdued revenue growth outlook due to challenges such as Covid-19 related traffic, merchandise misses, and adverse weather conditions. The company has slowed its new store openings in response to weaker top-line performance, leading to a devaluation of its stock relative to historical averages, while also noting that comparisons with prior periods will be more difficult, particularly in the first half of the fiscal year. Additionally, the conservative guidance for both the first quarter and full year of 2025 indicates a pessimistic view on growth, driven by macroeconomic uncertainties and specific factors impacting its core customer base.
