I just happened across this listing, and decided to do an ssg. It seems to come out pretty well. I think the up-side down-side ratio could use a bit of adjustment, and the stock price varies between the buy and the hold range depending a lot on what seem to me like small adjustments to future highs and lows. Still, could bear some watching. Anyone else own this already ?

Sean, I don't own shares but do have HIBB on my watch list. It's sales and earnings growth is steady, strong and predictable. The PTP margins and ROE are increasing, and no debt. I felt it was a bit overpriced so have been waiting. Last quarters results were disappointing...sales increased 5.5% and earnings were down 8.6%. Also, the company sees earnings of $1.30 to $1.35 for 2007-an increase of 11% to 15%. My SSG differs from yours in growth and PE values. My estimated high EPS is $2.22; high PE is 25.5 and low PE is 12. (These numbers are conservative compared to VL which sees high EPS of $2.55, high PE of 27.5 and low PE of 17.5) My PE values are from PERT B. I have HIBB a buy at $24.68 based on future earnings. However, based on cash flow, it may be a buy at $27.56. (From VL, the cash flow per share is expected to be $3.15 and the the stock has traditionally sold for 17.5 times cash flow. That would make the price of the stock in 5 years, based on cash flow, to be $55.13. For the price of the stock to double in that time, you would have to buy it at $27.56)

My first couple passes came out to be in the hold range as well. Checking the company catalog, most of their stuff seems to be geared for spring and summer sports; maybe keep on eye on the price and see if it drops off a bit in the fall and winter.
