Opportunity on recent pullback
We see an opportunity in LB, after the recent pullback and now that valuation is back to a discount to its historical absolute and relative valuation. The December release was not as positive as hoped for, but progress is there and visible. We expect that stronger results over the course of 2018 will return the stock back to a high-teens valuation. The overall context for retail stocks in 2018 looks much more favourable now than last year, which should further help LB's recovery. This remains our top pick in the softlines space.L Brands is a holding company.
