Lorraine Hutchinson has given her Buy rating due to a combination of factors related to Torrid Holdings’ strategic initiatives and market positioning. Despite the near-term challenges such as macroeconomic uncertainties and tariff pressures, Hutchinson expresses confidence in the company’s long-term sales turnaround strategy and its potential earnings power. The decision to maintain a Buy rating is supported by the company’s efforts to enhance its inventory assortment, which has shown positive results during their semi-annual sale, and the expected positive impact of sub-brand launches on future sales.
Additionally, Hutchinson notes the company’s proactive approach in investing in marketing to attract new and younger customers, which is anticipated to drive growth. The management’s plan to optimize store operations and achieve cost savings through store closures is expected to contribute to margin expansion. While tariffs present a financial headwind, the company’s strategies to mitigate these impacts, such as shifting production and negotiating costs, are seen as effective measures to sustain profitability. These strategic efforts underpin Hutchinson’s optimistic outlook for Torrid Holdings, justifying the Buy rating.
