LE: 4Q Review: On Track For Upside; Raising PT to $14 (From $12); Reiterate Buy

<ul><li>We are reiterating our Buy rating, $12 price target and projections for Lands' End with the company announcing 4QFY23 (January) results before the open on Wednesday, March 27th.</li><li>We believe management's focus on driving higher margins and overall returns via less discounting, more product newness, a focus on key categories (i.e. swimwear and outerwear) where Lands' End is dominant, expansion to incremental online marketplaces and, beginning in FY24, licensing secondary categories, will register solid 4Q results and position Lands' End to return to profitability in FY24.</li><li>As such, and with LE trading at 6.6X our FY24 EBITDA, we believe myopic top-line focused investors are missing a compelling turnaround story, with management creating a superior business model with multiple catalysts; we reiterate our Buy rating and $12 price target.</li></ul>

Technical and Quantitative Research

Vermilion Research

Vermilion’s objective is to deliver timely, actionable, and unique technical research to professional investors through the application of our various technical indicators.

Our research strategists seek to highlight securities which we believe are at major inflection points, based on our various technical and quantitative indicators, and offer asymmetric risk/return profiles. Our unique research methodology, centered on relative strength, enables our strategists to deliver superior investment recommendations.

Our process begins by organizing the universe of actively traded stocks into discrete sectors, then into industry groups. We then apply our technical and quantitative tools to identify developing price trends. Once attractive trends are identified within a selected sector or group, we screen for individual stocks which we believe offer the best risk/reward profile. We provide a historical perspective that often reveals, through our long-term charts, how price patterns often repeat themselves over time.
