Shares of pool products retailer Leslie’s (NASDAQ:LESL) fell 2.7% in the afternoon session after Morgan Stanley significantly lowered its price target on the stock to $3.50 from $7. The investment bank, however, maintained its "Equalweight" rating on the shares. This substantial cut in the price expectation suggests a more cautious outlook on the company's future stock performance. Such a large reduction in a price target from a major financial firm often leads investors to reassess their own expectations, contributing to selling pressure on the stock.
Shares of clothing and accessories retailer Urban Outfitters (NASDAQ:URBN)
jumped 3.3% in the afternoon session after the stock hit an all-time high amid a broader retail sector recovery and successful strategic initiatives. The company's shares reached a new peak of $80.87. This performance was supported by a turnaround plan in North America under new leadership, which focused on reconnecting with its target Gen Z customers. In another strategic move, Urban Outfitters also deployed an AI-powered platform to improve its supply chain and manage an increasingly complex global regulatory environment. Adding to the positive sentiment, several investment firms, including Morgan Stanley, UBS, and the Telsey Advisory Group, increased their price targets for the company's stock.
Shares of discount retailer Five Below (NASDAQ:FIVE)
jumped 3.5% in the afternoon session after the stock's positive momentum continued as the company posted strong third-quarter results that surpassed expectations. The discount retailer reported that its net sales for the quarter ended November 1 rose 23.1% to $1.04 billion, marking the second consecutive quarter sales were above the $1 billion mark. This growth was driven by a 14.3% increase in comparable-store sales and the opening of 49 net new locations. The company’s net income also climbed significantly to $36.5 million, or $0.66 per share, up from $1.7 million in the same period a year ago. The positive momentum from the earnings report appeared to overshadow news that a director filed a notice proposing to sell some restricted stock.
