barrons3	Strong Buy - Price 11.35 on Dec. 2 by Needham & Co. Guess? [looks as if it] has trend-right merchandise and lean inventory, and is well-positioned to navigate the consumer slowdown. [Due to a likely] difficult holiday season, we're decreasing our F4Q and FY08 EPS estimates by eight cents, to 76 cents and $2.49, respectively, down from 84 cents and $2.57. Our FY08 EPS of $2.49 is in the middle of raised guidance of $2.47 to $2.53 versus $1.99, and represents 25% growth. We are decreasing our FY09 EPS estimates to $2.79, down from $3.06. Target: 41 [down from 62]. Market cap: $1 billion.	Love	December 06, 2008

sarah z	Guess Inc. said Wednesday its board has approved a share buyback program for up to $200 million of the apparel designer and retailer's common stock. The company said repurchases may be made on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions from time to time and as market and business conditions allow. They also posted fourth-quarter profit above market estimates driven by strong sales in Europe and Asia, and backed its outlook for fiscal year 2009. The stock trades for 10x cash flow.

barrons2	Buy - Price 53.40 on Sept. 5 by Sterne Agee [Clothing-and-accessory retailer] Guess reported Q2 [EPS] at 40 cents, which was 7 cents above First Call consensus and at the high end of guidance. Guess guides the year to $1.79 to $1.84 [range], which suggests our second-half estimates are high by 4 cents or more. A shifting of sales out of Q3 into Q2 in Europe of some $10 million to $13 million, led to the strong Q2 performance but may limit Q3. Comps for Q2 were very strong, up 16.2% with double-digit growth each month, which continued into August. As a result, North American comp guidance for Q3 has been raised to mid-single digits....Gift card[s] which were unredeemed led to a $3 million increase in retail revenue and income. Otherwise, operating margins in retail were about flat with expense tied to the launch of G by Guess cited. Global initiatives include the launch of GC Watches, handbags and the opening of footwear stores, thought to be a 150-store opportunity worldwide....Our target price, 55, has been increased to 57 based on a price/earnings ratio of 25 times forward estimates.
