Just last week, one of those Fools, timclaason, succinctly summed up the Tilly's bull case for our community:
I like Tilly's Price To Sales ratio. It's under 1. Combined with the P/E ratio under 20, current ratio over 2, low debt levels, decent profit margin, and its current place in 52 week price range, I think it's a good buy. ...
From a technical perspective, it recently had a double bottom in January and April, and its price has been going up since April. ... So, in real life, I don't think now is the *best* entry point, but given the quality fundamentals, I think one could make dumber decisions than TLYS in the $15-$16 range.
If you want market-thumping returns, you need to put together the best portfolio you can. Of course, despite a perfect five-star rating, Tilly's may not be your top choice.
