Here is what Artisan Global Discovery Fund has to say about Ollie’s Bargain Outlet Holdings, Inc. in their Investor Letter:
“Ollie’s recently reported the best sales and earnings results in its 38- year history. The company has benefited from keeping its stores open through the harshest of lockdowns, government stimulus checks and consumer lifestyle changes. However, the stock pulled back in the quarter (after doubling in Q2) as investors contemplated the very tough growth comparisons the company will face in 2021. We acknowledge that growth rates will optically slow in the near term as the economy begins normalizing but believe Ollie’s unique operating model and significant new-store growth opportunity are compelling profit-cycle drivers longer term.”
