Reason
Guggenheim initiated coverage of Burlington Stores with a Neutral rating and no price target. The retail sector still seems to be perceived as "structurally sick," but the firm says "holiday brought the cheer," tariffs have been manageable so far and "most importantly and likely going unnoticed" is the fact that the majority of the firm's coverage actually operates at, or close to, their gross margin peaks.

Reason
Goldman Sachs lowered the firm's price target on Burlington Stores 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.

Reason
Morgan Stanley lowered the firm's price target on Burlington Stores to $310 from $330 and keeps an Overweight rating on the shares. A Q3 EPS beat was "overshadowed" by comp underperformance and "typically-conservative" initial FY26 guidance, the analyst tells investors. While recent comp trends have seemingly dampened market conviction, the firm thinks the stock reaction is "overdone" and says it continues to see a path to share gains and positive mid-term EPS revisions "off a lower Street bar."

Reason
TD Cowen lowered the firm's price target on Burlington Stores to $315 from $330 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares. The firm noted the company will face tougher comps in December and management's initial look on FY26 suggests flat EBIT margin planned for 0% to 2% comps and brings our estimates lower with investments in unit growth, SG&A, higher Depreciation above the EBIT line and higher y/y Interest expense.
