Will L Brands’ Top-Line Performance Impress in 2019?
What You Can Expect for L Brands in 2019 (Continued from Prior Part) ## Sales to improve L Brands (LB) is one of leading intimate apparel manufacturers and distributors in the United States. Its major brands include Victoria’s Secret and PINK. For the fourth quarter of 2018, Wall Street analysts expect L Brands net sales to rise 1.9% YoY (year-over-year) to $4.91 billion.

However, for 2019, analysts expect sales to report an increase of 1.4% to $13.48 billion on a YoY basis. ## What’s in store for L Brands in 2019? Strength in the Bath & Body Works brand has been cushioning its top line. Comparable store sales growth for L Brands has been positive in the last three quarters of 2018 mainly due to Bath & Body Works. It’s looking to re-enter certain categories, including swimwear, footwear, and eyewear, to boost its top line. It has discontinued its Henri Bendel operations and found a suitable buyer for its loss-making La Senza lingerie brand. L Brands is also developing its beauty business, which comprises fragrances and mists. Sales also could to benefit from momentum in its digital business. However, the troubled Victoria’s Secret and PINK businesses are a sore point for L Brands. Victoria’s Secret was once the ultimate destination for lingerie shopping for American women. Though it still commands a big share of the US lingerie market, a surge in the body positivity movement and the demand for comfortable lingerie has severely affected sales. Also, declining traffic at malls has added to the troubles. American Eagle Outfitters’ (AEO) Aerie brand’s success underscores these shifting trends. Aerie’s focus on a wide range of sizes, hiring plus-sized models and not photoshopping its ads has worked wonders. The Aerie brand is expected to top $1 billion in revenue in the near term. Apart from Aerie, other retailers who are also embracing this body positivity trend include Lively and ThirdLove. ## Expectations for peers For fiscal 2018, analysts expect Abercrombie & Fitch (ANF) to report sales growth of 2.2% YoY to $3.57 billion.

20 Top Stock Picks the Analysts Love for 2019
Volatility was the name of the game for stocks in 2018. The market plunged to severe lows in both February and December, but all-time highs in September. The Standard & Poor's 500-stock index and Dow Jones Industrial Average were both on the precipice of bear markets late in the year. However, we enjoyed a surprising "Santa Claus" rally that saw the Dow climb more than 1,000 points - its biggest single-day point gain ever - on Dec. 26. When you're evaluating stock picks for 2019, expect more of the unexpected. Continued volatility seems unavoidable considering unsolved trade tensions and heightened worries about the Federal Reserve and interest-rate hikes. The flip side? "Despite the volatility that we have witnessed in the global markets, for 2019 our analysts are maintaining a pro-growth, pro-cyclical bias," RBC Capital writes in its 2019 outlook. Many Wall Street analysts, in fact, predict upside in 2019. That includes Deutsche Bank, whose 3,250 target for the S&P 500 next year implies more than 30% upside for the market! With this outlook in mind, here are some of the analyst community's top stock picks for 2019. These are stocks, large and small, that boast a "Strong Buy" analyst consensus and significant upside potential. We used TipRanks to ensure that these picks also enjoy the support of top-performing analysts who have strong track records. SEE ALSO: 19 Best Stocks to Buy for 2019 (And 5 to Sell)
