L Brands Inc (LB) Looks Good: Stock Adds 5% in Session

PLCE

L Brands, Inc. was a big mover last session, as the company saw its shares rise 5% on the day. The upside came after the company posted impressive second-quarter 2016 results (after the market closed on Aug 17) with a 3% increase in same-store sales and also raised its full-year earnings guidance. This breaks the recent trend of the company, as the stock is now trading above the volatile price range of $70.31 to $74.62 in the past one-month time frame.

In the last 30 days, the company has seen seven upward estimate revisions and the Zacks Consensus Estimate also moved higher, suggesting that more solid trading could be ahead for L Brands. So make sure to keep an eye on this stock going forward to see if this recent jump can turn into more strength down the road.      

L Brands currently holds a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).

A better-ranked Retail-Apparel/Shoe stock is The Children's Place, Inc. (PLCE - Free Report) , which sports a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy).

Zacks Names "Single Best Pick to Double"

From thousands of stocks, 5 Zacks experts each have chosen their favorite to skyrocket +100% or more in months to come. From those 5, Director of Research Sheraz Mian hand-picks one to have the most explosive upside of all.

It’s a little-known chemical company that’s up 65% over last year, yet still dirt cheap. With unrelenting demand, soaring 2022 earnings estimates, and $1.5 billion for repurchasing shares, retail investors could jump in at any time.

This company could rival or surpass other recent Zacks’ Stocks Set to Double like Boston Beer Company which shot up +143.0% in little more than 9 months and NVIDIA which boomed +175.9% in one year.
