Tod’s Shows More Signs Of Recovery – 6/10/09

Italy's Tod's rose as much as 3.5 percent to levels last reached in December 2007, after UBS upgraded the luxury shoe and bag maker to "buy" from "neutral", according to a Reuters article.

UBS says it sees potential benefits for Tod’s from increased store traffic and expects the negative sales trend of handbags to reverse next year.

The MO Down pegged Tod’s as showing signs of recovery in July (see our report: Tod’s Plays On Their Strengths In Shoes.)
