The Buckle, Inc. (BKE): A Rare Miss for This Retailer

I think Buckle has a lot to learn from Gap, besides just the online system. Gap has managed to turn its performance around, and to expand on that performance in recent quarters. While Buckle doesn’t need a turnaround, it could certainly use a little juicing, perhaps a quicker production-to-store timeline to take advantage of trends. That’s something The Gap Inc. (NYSE:GPS)’s Old Navy brand has done well. Overall, The Buckle, Inc. (NYSE:BKE)’s last quarter was a bit of a letdown, but I’m still very optimistic about the company’s long-term prospects.
