Ollie's Bargain Outlet Holdings (OLLI) has been upgraded from 'sell' to 'hold' following a 37% decline in its share price and normalization of its valuation. The company reported solid first-quarter results, driven by 15% store growth and a 1.7% increase in same-store sales, helped by Big Lots' bankruptcy and disciplined cost control. OLLI maintains a strong balance sheet with low leverage and has increased its share buyback authorization to $125 million for 2024, with potential for further acceleration. Shares currently trade at about 18 times estimated 2024 earnings and 15.6 times estimated 2025 earnings, reflecting fair value; further upside may require a price pullback below $75.
