Sell
Reason
Goldman Sachs initiated coverage of Carter's with a Sell rating and $26 price target. The firm rolled out coverage of the apparel retail sector with a preference for store growth and pricing power. Apparel prices have lagged inflation, providing an opportunity for a "catch-up" to offset tariff pressures for retailers with a value perception, the analyst tells investors in a research note. Goldman says that in an environment where the middle-to-high income consumer remains resilient, it prefers newer concepts with larger store growth opportunities.
