The Globe and Mail reports in its Friday, Feb. 21, edition that Stifel analyst Martin Landry continues to rate Gildan Activewear "buy." The Globe's David Leeder writes that Mr. Landry boosted his share target to $65 from $60 (all figures U.S.). Analysts on average target the shares at $59.09. Mr. Landry thinks Gildan Activewear's 2025 financial guidance "suggests continued momentum" and sees all its operating channels poised to contribute to growth. Mr. Landry says in a note: "Gildan's 2025 guidance is calling for revenues to increase by mid-single digits year-over-year, in-line with the company's long-term goals and our expectations. As a result, we have made limited changes to our revenue forecasts for 2025 and 2026. In the print-wear channel, Gildan is expected to benefit from competitors exiting the market, potentially leading to market share gains. In addition, the company appears to have momentum in other channels, namely with Global Lifestyle Brands and with mass retailers as three-quarters of Gildan's 2025 revenue growth is expected to come from new programs. Management is guiding for operating margins to expand by 50 basis points to 21.8 per cent, slightly lower than our expectations of 22.1 per cent."
