The Buckle: A Little Too Uncomfortable For A Bullish Assessment (Rating Downgrade)
In October 2022, I upgraded The Buckle to a 'buy' due to early stabilization signs and attractive pricing, leading to a 72.6% stock surge. Despite outperforming the S&P 500, recent financials show revenue and earnings declines, prompting a downgrade from 'buy' to 'hold'. The Buckle's balance sheet remains strong with significant cash reserves and no debt, but rising costs and declining sales are concerning.

The Buckle, Inc. has had a strong run recently, but mixed key metrics and balanced risk-reward lead to a neutral rating.
