Price Target

UBS Upgrades Burlington Stores to Buy, Raises Price Target to $360

Burlington Stores's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BURL#NYSE">BURL</a>) short percent of float has risen 23.61% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 2.30 million shares sold short, which is 4.66% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 2.77 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1736438416_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Burlington Stores has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Burlington Stores's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Burlington Stores's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 12.74%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze/">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

How Is The Market Feeling About Burlington Stores?

Goldman Sachs research kicked off the new year with bold stock picks and a spotlight on five investment themes poised to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/12/42710358/veteran-investor-bets-big-on-sp-500-hitting-7000-by-end-of-2025-these-sectors-could-lead-the-charge">shape markets in 2025.</a>
What Happened: In a note shared Thursday, the analyst team led by Steven Kron shuffled its &#8220;Conviction List&#8221; — a carefully curated portfolio of top investment ideas.
Goldman Sachs added Belden Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BDC#NYSE">BDC</a>), Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NCLH#NYSE">NCLH</a>), and Uber Technologies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UBER#NYSE">UBER</a>) to the list. These companies replaced Fox Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FOXA#NASDAQ">FOXA</a>), Parker Hannifin Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PH#NYSE">PH</a>), and TPG Inc. (TPG).

Why It Matters: Industrial tech is back in vogue. Analyst Mark Delaney sees Belden riding a cyclical industrial recovery while expanding its high-margin software solutions business. Delaney models earnings per share (EPS) above consensus estimates for both 2025 and 2026, making this a standout pick in the industrial space.
Cruises are sailing into a stronger 2025. Analyst Lizzie Dove cites accelerating Net Purchase Intent (NPI) data and cost savings from a 2023 management shuffle. Dove expects Norwegian to widen its yield-to-unit-cost spread by 2.5 percentage points, bringing its valuation closer to peer Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RCL#NYSE">RCL</a>).
Analyst Eric Sheridan remains bullish on Uber despite skepticism over its mobility business and the rise of autonomous vehicles. He forecasts a robust 39% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) in adjusted EBITDA from 2023-2026. According to the bank, Uber is set to deliver $3.50 in GAAP EPS by 2026—a projection that sits 7% above consensus. Goldman Sachs holds a 12-month price target of $96 on Uber stock, implying a nearly 60% upside from current market levels.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Key Themes For 2025: AI, M&amp;A, Deglobalization, And More</h3>
The investment bank also outlined five key themes to track as we enter the new year.
<ul>
<li>Artificial Intelligence: Goldman's Kash Rangan expects AI investment to shift in 2025, moving from infrastructure spending to platforms and applications. In a recent note, Rangan highlighted the increasing integration of AI into enterprise software. Stocks with exposure to this trend include Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), Snowflake Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNOW#NYSE">SNOW</a>) and Teradyne Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TER#NASDAQ">TER</a>).</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>De-regulation, M&amp;A, And Capital Markets Rebound: Regulatory changes under a potential second Trump administration could accelerate M&amp;A activity, Goldman analysts say. Financial firms like Citigroup Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/C#NYSE">C</a>), Evercore Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EVR#NYSE">EVR</a>), and S&amp;P Global (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPGI#NYSE">SPGI</a>) are positioned to benefit. Analyst Richard Ramsden recently indicated a more favorable environment for banks and financial advisors.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Re-powering America: Carly Davenport flagged the surging power demands of data centers and AI compute, noting this trend is driving sustained growth in utilities capex. Her team stressed the importance of energy infrastructure to support the transportation electrification. Stocks like DBA Sempra (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SRE#NYSE">SRE</a>) is Goldman&#8217;s top pick here.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Deglobalization: The era of tariff wars is far from over. Jan Hatzius and economics team expect a 20 percentage point hike in tariffs on Chinese imports and new duties on European autos and Mexican EVs. Companies like Vulcan Materials Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VMC#NYSE">VMC</a>) and Woodward Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WWD#NASDAQ">WWD</a>) are well-positioned to adapt to supply chain disruptions caused by these policies.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Resilient US Consumers: Despite macro concerns, Goldman Sachs continues to paint another strong year for U.S. consumers. Discretionary cash flow is expected to grow by 5.2% in 2025, up from 4.4% in 2024, supported by higher savings rates. Stocks to watch include Norwegian Cruise Line, Uber, Burlington Stores Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BURL#NYSE">BURL</a>), and Pinterest Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PINS#NYSE">PINS</a>).</li>

Another sector of the Telsey Advisory Group's coverage that saw all companies in the firm's coverage raise their annual profit outlooks was the Digital/New Economy sector.&nbsp; Stitch Fix, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFIX#NASDAQ">SFIX</a>), ThredUp Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TDUP#NASDAQ">TDUP</a>) and eyewear retailer Warby Parker Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WRBY#NYSE">WRBY</a>) comprise the Telsey Group's coverage in this sector.&nbsp;
"Some Stocks With Potential": The firm also highlighted Warby Parker as one of its "stocks with potential" and sees its operating momentum continuing in 2025 driven by enhanced telemedicine capabilities, expanded insurance coverage and scaling its contact lens business.&nbsp;
Telsey Advisory named Bath &amp; Body Works, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BBWI#NYSE">BBWI</a>) as a stock with potential following its earnings and revenue beat-and-raise report for the third quarter. It also sees the store as a "holiday winner" with its strong gift assortment. 
The final "stock with potential" listed in the research note is RH (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RH#NYSE">RH</a>) which Telsey Advisory Group analyst Cristina Fernandez upgraded from Market Perform to Outperform last week. The analyst also raised the price target from $485 to $500 as she anticipates the retailer's strong demand trend to continue as the housing market begins to recover and new stores in European markets are opened.

Here's a look at the Benzinga Stock Whisper Index for the week ending Dec. 20:
D-Wave Quantum (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QBTS#NYSE">QBTS</a>): The company was one of several quantum computing stocks that continued to see strong interest from readers <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/24/12/42380768/quantum-computing-stocks-roundup-d-wave-rigetti-ionq-lead-the-charge-with-explosive-growth">during the week.</a> The stocks <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/24/12/42517239/d-wave-quantum-shares-are-on-the-rise-monday-whats-going-on">traded higher</a> on the week after news from Google that its Willow quantum chip made a breakthrough in quantum computing. The breakthrough of Willow has investors looking for quantum computing companies that could benefit as more eyes are on the sector heading into 2025.

Quantum Computing (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QUBT#NASDAQ">QUBT</a>): Similar to D-Wave, Quantum Computing is one of the handful of stocks seeing increasingly more attention from readers thanks to soaring interest in the quantum computing space.

MercadoLibre Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MELI#NASDAQ">MELI</a>): The Latin American e-commerce company saw strong interest from readers without any major news from the company. The stock may have fallen on concerns of Brazilian stocks due to lower valuations for its currency. The 2024 election and questions about international relations may also have sent shares of Latin American stocks lower in recent weeks. MercadoLibre reported third-quarter financial results in November with earnings per share missing analyst estimates and revenue beating analyst estimates for an eighth straight quarter.

Burlington Stores (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BURL#NYSE">BURL</a>): The discount apparel retailer saw increased interest from readers during the week, which comes after <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42193486/burlington-stores-faces-warm-weather-setback-q3-revenue-miss-raises-stakes-for-holiday-season">third-quarter financial results</a> were reported in late November. The company saw revenue up 11% year-over-year in the quarter, but the revenue figure missed analyst estimates. The company cited warmer weather as a reason for comparable sales being lower than expected. Management was optimistic that the fourth quarter would see strong growth. The majority of analysts <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/BURL/analyst-ratings">raised their price targets</a> on the stock after the quarterly financial report.

Burlington Stores (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BURL#NYSE">BURL</a>) shares are trading lower after the company <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/11/g42185059/burlington-stores-inc-reports-third-quarter-2024-earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported mixed third-quarter financial results.</a>
Quarterly revenue grew 11% year-over-year to $2.53 billion, missing the consensus of $2.55 billion. Comparable store sales increased by 1%. Adjusted EPS rose 41% YoY to $1.55, beating the consensus of $1.54.
CEO Michael O&#8217;Sullivan commented, &#8220;Our&nbsp;third quarter&nbsp;comp trend started out very strongly, but then warmer temperatures from mid-September onwards slowed our sales momentum. Cold Weather categories represent about&nbsp;15%&nbsp;of sales in the&nbsp;third quarter. Excluding these categories, our comp growth in the&nbsp;third quarter&nbsp;was&nbsp;4%, which is consistent with the trend that we have seen in our business since March. We are very encouraged by this underlying comp sales trend.&#8221;
Gross margin was 43.9% vs. 43.2% for the quarter, an increase of 70 basis points. At the end of the quarter, merchandise inventories were $1.441 billion vs. $1.329 billion last year.
Adjusted EBITDA stood at $228.79 million, up 30.3% YoY, with the margin expanding 137 bps to 9%.
The company ended the quarter with $1.705 billion in liquidity, comprised of $858 million in unrestricted cash and $847 million in availability on its ABL facility. The company held $1.714 billion in outstanding total debt.
During the quarter, Burlington repurchased 213,372 shares of its common stock for $56 million under its share repurchase program. Burlington had $325 million remaining on its current share repurchase program.
&#8220;November is off to a good start, and we are optimistic about our prospects for the fourth quarter. But with the key selling weeks still ahead of us, we are planning our business cautiously and maintaining our comparable store sales guidance of 0% to 2% for the quarter. We are ready to chase if the trend is stronger,&#8221; stated Mr. O&#8217;Sullivan.
Q4 Outlook: Burlington expects YoY sales growth of 5% &#8211; 7% and assumes comparable store sales to increase between 0% and 2%. The company sees adjusted EPS of $3.55 – $3.75 versus the consensus of $3.77.
2024 Outlook, updated: Burlington continues to expect 9% – 10% sales growth and assumes comparable store sales will increase by 2% (prior view 2%&nbsp;to&nbsp;3%).
The company raised its adjusted EPS guidance to $7.76 &#8211; $7.96 from $7.66 – $7.96, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance">compared to the $7.92 consensus.</a>
Price Action: BURL shares traded lower by 1.16% at $288.28 at the last check Tuesday.
