Advisors' Opinion:- [By Stephen]
Vanity Fair Co. is one of the best in apparel manufacturing with an all-star lineup and its knack for great acquisitions like Timberland (TBL) in 2011. The company has Lee, Wrangler, Vans, Timberland, Lucy, and many other brands that work on many different fronts. We believe 2012 should continue to be a strong growth year for the company, and we believe as it works some more debt off from the balance sheet the company will continue to see its equity value continue to improve. The company should be moving to around $170 this year. Plus, the company offers a solid 2.1% yield. Growth stock for sure.

And its Vans and North Face brands are viewed as growth drivers, along with its new store growth in Asia.
S&P has a 12-month target of $106 and a "five-star strong buy" rating on the stock. VFC has been consolidating for over a year between $70 and $86, but a recent double-bottom and a pending breakout from that pattern, and a stochastic buy are very powerful signals that this stock could make a run to over $90.
