Talbots (TLB)

Talbot’s stock price has plunged 70% since the beginning of 2011. At a glance, you would almost think this retailer is going out of business. The company is trying to execute an image refresh and have already indicated that 2011 will be a transition year. That could push TLB to a loss this year as promotional costs and restructuring costs eat away at profits. However, this $2 stock traded in the teen’s was recently as last year. If the company is successful in executing its turnaround strategy, investors will see a 10x return.

[popeyemag]

I reloaded again yesterday at $2.73. Right now it's a traders paridise. The problem is, if you aren't in at the right time you could miss alot of gains. Acquisition possible and the short position could make this thing fly.

[Money Chaser]

Time to Buy again....
Go TLB

Talbots takes poison pill on possible hostile PE approach
Posted on Tuesday, 02 August 2011 14:21
Private equity firm Sycamore Partners might buy Talbots after picking up a minority stake in the troubled US clothing retailer, according to the Wall Street Journal (WSJ).

In a report published today which cited people with knowledge of the matter, the newspaper said retail veteran Stefan Kaluzny wants to be involved in a turnaround of the women’s wear specialist and is considering a bid.

Sycamore is Kaluzny’s newly established investment business.

It owns 9.9 per cent of Massachusetts-based Talbots, according to a recent regulatory filing, and is the second largest shareholder after OppenheimerFunds, Dow Jones said, citing data from FactSet.

However, the target today said it will adopt a stockholder rights plan – or a so-called poison pill – in an attempt to block a takeover.

It will offer shareholders the chance to buy units at a discount if a single investor buys more than 10.0 per cent, thus diluting Sycamore’s participation.

Talbots’ board said it wants to “promote fair and equal treatment of the company's stockholders in light of a recent rapid accumulation of a significant percentage of the company's outstanding common stock”.

Shares in the retailer closed 17.6 per cent higher yesterday at USD 4.07 on news of Sycamore’s investment but have not yet responded to today’s developments, which were publicised before the morning bell.

Despite yesterday’s gain the stocks were still near the bottom of their 52-week range of USD 2.33 to USD 13.43.

The group has a market value of USD 284.52 million – a figure which prior to the economic downturn would have exceeded USD 1.00 billion.

Talbots sells women’s clothing, shoes and accessories at its 568 physical shops, as well as via mail order and online.

It incurred net losses between 2008 and 2010 but returned to profit in the 12 months to 29th January 2011, recording USD 10.59 million. Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation grew 40.9 per cent to USD 94.36 million.

[popeyemag]

flipped it twice last two days and bought 2900 at 2.85 late today. I will probably hold for awhile. I have about $600 profit to play with.

[Money Chaser]

TLB is going to fly soon!
I got some more at closing....

keep legging in. your efforts will be fruitful near term
