DCF Analysis

Urban Outfitters Inc. (URBN) Buy

Despite poor Q3 earnings, Urban Outfitters is
currently expanding: new locations, new media
Still a low P/E and reasonably low PEG relative to
competitors given earnings miss
Poor Black Friday results resulted in the fall of many
retailers stock prices; however the positive outlook
for the upcoming holiday season provides an ideal
time to buy for opportunistic investors
Very liquid company without much debt relative to
current assets (current ratio ~3)
