where is this puppy heading?, page-6

Well, smiles all round - the SP has rebound to the base of the cliff it plunged down in Jan '14.  Now to climb the cliff.

That cliff, a 30% fall, was caused by TRS post-Christmas results which showed flat sales - not declining, mind you, just flat.  They also announced at the time their review of over-priced shopping mall leases.  A year later and TRS appears to be on track, closing down poorly performing outlets and opening new ones in market-identified areas.  Those new store openings have decreased from 33 the previous year to 12 currently, so stopping a big drain on their treasury.

"Although the retailer reported a 1.9% dip in its full-year profit, it did experience a much stronger second half with the turnaround "beginning to gain momentum". Comparable sales were down 0.8% for the year but up 2.3% for the second half."

FT reports that the consensus divvy for the coming year is expected to be 36c, 21.3% up from the 30c for 2015.  This is driven than the higher-than-expected semi-annual earnings of 53c/sh as compared to the consensus 45c/sh, which itself underperformed the previous year.  Brokers lover surprises on the upside, which TRS has now managed to achieve two years straight.

Those same analysts now forecast average annual revenue growth of 10.7% to 2017.  So, as long as management deliver on cost cuts, the short term future looks good and the stock compelling.
