Chico's FAS (CHS) Looks Good: Stock Adds 12.2% in Session

PLCE

Chico's FAS Inc. was a big mover last session, as the company saw its shares rise over 12% on the day. The upside was driven by the company’s announcement of better-than-expected quarterly earnings along with a major cost-cutting initiative. This resulted in solid volume with far more shares changing hands than in a normal session. This breaks the recent trend of the company, as the stock is now trading above the near-flat price range of $11.23 to $11.90 in the past one-month time frame.

The company has seen a mixed track record when it comes to estimate revisions of one increase and one decrease over the past one month, while the Zacks Consensus Estimate moved lower over the same time frame. Yesterday’s price action is encouraging though, so make sure to keep a close watch on this firm in the near future.

Chico's FAS currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).

A better-ranked stock in the same industry is The Children's Place, Inc. (PLCE - Free Report) , sporting 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.
