Jim Cramer Compares Burlington to Its Peers

BURL TJX ROST

Burlington Stores, Inc. (NYSE:BURL) is one of the stocks on Jim Cramer’s game plan for the week. Cramer said that the company is the weakest among its other two peers. He commented:

“Plenty of apparel on Tuesday… Burlington Stores reports. It’s part of the big three… off-price, including TJX and Ross Stores. It probably hurts Burlington that the other two reported already, and they were terrific. As my mother always said, comparisons are odious, but Burlington is the weakest of the three.”

Burlington Stores, Inc. (NYSE:BURL) sells branded, value-focused fashion and home goods. It includes apparel, footwear, accessories, baby items, beauty products, and seasonal merchandise. Cramer discussed the company during the September 10 episode and remarked:

“Second on the list is Burlington Stores, which saw roughly 2.5% comparable sales growth in the first half because… I… have come to expect more than that, but they have flat growth in the first quarter, but 5% growth in the second, well ahead of the 1.5% number that Wall Street was looking for. Burlington also had a strong quarter. Despite softer trends in May, they were able to beat expectations as business got back to normal in June and July. We care about that cadence. Overall, it was a solid quarter… although management struck a more conservative tone with their full-year guidance, not as optimistic as TJX.
