Children's Place Cost-Cutting Progress Gets Markets' Praise -- Market Talk

Dow Jones09-20

1221 ET - Children's Place made surprising progress reducing expenses in 2Q, driving UBS estimates higher. The children's clothing retailer will likely see revenue decline through the first quarter of fiscal 2025 as a result of ongoing impact of the cost savings activities and a tough competitive environment for children's apparel. However, the company should see a surge in profit in the next three years, including fiscal 2024. UBS raises its earnings per share target price to $2.65 from 55 cents previously for fiscal 2024, its fiscal 2025 EPS to $2.70 from $1.10 previously, and its FY26 EPS to $2.80 from $1.60. UBS also lifts its target price to $18 from $12 previously. Shares rise 9.6% to $16.50. (sabela.ojea@wsj.com; @sabelaojeaguix)
