I did Cramer homework on this company and I have it as a $21 stock. 50% earnings growth and a 34 p/e. Currently priced at $12.77. They are also doing a $3 million repurchase between now and April 3.

Rating: BUY
Target: $16
Sector: Consumer

Casual Male’s initial transformation to high-quality growth retailer from fitful turnaround, which began in 2H06 and validated our continuing Buy rating, should, in our view, play out further in 2007. It should lead to multiple expansion as well as 65%+ earnings growth from a non-nominal 2006 base and 20-25% annual growth thereafter. Visibility is strong, as the company is the increasingly dominant player in the big and tall men’s apparel market, which is burgeoning for deep-seated demographic reasons.

crappy product, crappy company
