barrons3	First, Limited Brands (LTD), which we may not want to shop at but we want to follow as a stock, reported a magnificent number. That's a great gauge of mall traffic, and it puts the lie to the idea that people are just looking -- they are actually buying.	Love	November 19, 2009

sarah z	From a recent Mad Money show:"I no longer trust retailers with big dividends. Limited used to be a great company, but now its a spent and done concept and its a sell."	Love	November 20, 2008
sarah z	The maker of Victoria's Secret and Bath & Body Works announced that its board authorized a $250 million buyback plan. The company has returned almost $7 billion to shareholders over the past 5 years through dividends and buyback programs. On August 21, 2008 the Columbus, Ohio-based retailer announced second- quarter results. Net income dropped to $102 million, or 30 cents a share, from $264.4 million, or 67 cents a share in the same period last year. Revenue for the quarter fell to $2.3 billion from $2.6 billion last year and same-store sales decreased by 7%. Although the numbers look bad, they beat analysts' expectations and sent shares up 5.9% in pre-market trading. Leslie Wexner, chairman and CEO said, "We are very pleased with our performance in this challenging economic environment. Our disciplined management of inventory and expenses resulted in earnings per share that exceeded our initial expectations and increased 35% over last year's comparable result in spite of negative same store sales in the quarter." Limited also inflated its full-year profit outlook. The company now expects to earn $1.45 to $1.60 a share, up from the previous estimate of $1.38 to $1.58 a share. We took notice when we saw that C.L. King and Associates has an accumulate rating on the company. After Limited's annual meeting, analyst Mark Montagna commented, "Yesterday's annual update meeting provided solid insight into the secure nature of an investment in Limited Brands. However, our key take-away was that meaningful operating margin expansion is not likely until 2010." Mark added, "2010 should see the benefit of exploiting the technology investments at Victoria's Secret (VS) and Bath & Body Works (BBW), more finely tuned assortments at BBW, the ongoing appeal of VS as a brand and a greater critical mass of stores in Canada." Mark has a $20-dollar price target on the stock, representing 67% upside potential.	Love	November 05, 2008

barrons2	Accumulate - Price 15.23 on Jan. 22 by CL King Reducing our target price to 20 (from 22) [based on a price/earnings ratio] value of 13.9 times, using our FY08 EPS estimate of $1.44 -- 15% above the group average of 12.1 times. While the market headwinds facing consumers and retail...have caused E-EPS reductions, we believe the company should benefit from recoveries in execution, reduced technology spending and associated risks, better marketing, reduced inventory levels, continued expansion of its concepts and greater clarity of the international opportunity.
