PetSmart (Nasdaq:PETM), Lowe's (NYSE:LOW), Staples (Nasdaq:SPLS), Home Depot (NYSE:HD), Dick's (NYSE:DKS) Top Hardline Retail Picks of Barclays

The momentum for hardline retail stocks like the top picks of Barclays: PetSmart (Nasdaq:PETM), Lowe's (NYSE:LOW), Staples (Nasdaq:SPLS), Home Depot (NYSE:HD) and Dick's (NYSE:DKS) are expected to continue into 2011.

Barclays said, "Following two years of strong performance for many of the hardline retail stocks (including an average 28% increase in 2010 and a 56% increase in 2009), we think that the momentum will persist in 2011. Most of the subsectors in the universe should benefit from a combination of stable consumption growth, operating expense leverage, and share repurchases. These factors should deliver mid-teens EPS growth for the average hardline retailer. Thus, the combination of healthy earnings expansion and reasonable valuations make this group look attractive."

"Our top picks for the coming year are PetSmart, Staples, Home Depot, Lowe's and Dick's: We believe that these names are best positioned to benefit from company-specific drivers, along with significant leverage to an economic recovery. Conversely, we believe LifeTime Fitness (NYSE:LTM) and Advanced Auto (NYSE:AAP) offer the least attractive risk-reward at the current levels."

The Finish Line (Nasdaq:FINL), Foot Locker (NYSE:FL), Dick's Sporting Goods (NYSE:DKS), True Religion (Nasdaq:TRLG), VF Corp (NYSE:VFC) Performing As Expected

FBR Capital said after visiting the physical locations of retailers like The Finish Line (Nasdaq:FINL), Foot Locker (NYSE:FL), Dick's Sporting Goods (NYSE:DKS), True Religion (Nasdaq:TRLG) and VF Corp (NYSE:VFC), they see the stores performing as they thought they would during Black Friday, with The Finish Line, Foot Locker and Dick's Sporting Goods enjoying significant traffic.

"On Black Friday, we visited stores in the Washington, D.C. metro area, including retail locations of The Finish Line (Nasdaq: FINL)(Outperform), Foot Locker (Outperform), Dick's Sporting Goods (Outperform), True Religion (Outperform), and VF Corp's (Market Perform) The North Face...We did not expect Black Friday traffic at any of our targeted stores to be "newsworthy" given that these stores are not doorbuster destinations offering loss-leading items or major discounts, particularly in light of inventory positions supportive of full-price selling. We also believe that an ongoing shift to online holiday sales and discounting earlier in the shopping season are chipping away at Black Friday's importance to overall brick and mortar apparel and footwear holiday sales.

"Relative to overall mall traffic, traffic at Finish Line and Foot Locker stores was strong. Traffic at Dick's Sporting Goods was also robust. At the Georgetown location of The North Face and the Georgetown and Pentagon City locations of True Religion, in-store traffic was relatively light. Lighter traffic at The North Face and True Religion did not surprise or concern us, given that these are not traditional Black Friday destinations as a result of their premium price points and lack of discounting.

"Overall, what we saw on Black Friday did not sway our thesis on any of our covered companies, but reinforced our positive view of athletic footwear retailers, given what we expect to be continued top-line momentum on solid margins. We think limited and targeted discounting at Finish Line and Foot Locker bode well for gross margins, while the strong product cycle in athletic footwear should continue to support the top line, even in the face of difficult year-over-year comparisons."

The Finish Line closed Monday at $17.57, dropping $0.18, or 1.01 percent. Footlocker ended the session at $19.05, gaining $0.40, or 2.14 percent. Dicks Sporting Goods was at $34.38. falling $0.35, or 1.01 percent. True Religion Apparel closed up at $22.80, increasing by $0.13, or 0.57 percent. V.F. Corporation closed at $83.33, down by $0.49, or 0.58 percent.
