Burlington Stores price target lowered to $331 from $338 at Goldman Sachs

Goldman Sachs lowered the firm’s price target on Burlington Stores (BURL) to $331 from $338 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares. While Goldman remains encouraged by Burlington’s strengthening margin execution as the company executes its transformation initiatives and effectively mitigates tariffs and believes that key BURL 2.0 initiatives are enabling stronger merchandising and product, Burlington’s relative performance vs. peers weakened sequentially and was not fully explainable by weather, the analyst tells investors in a research note. The company has not yet shown consistency in execution on a quarterly basis, the firm says.
