Lands' End, Inc. (LE) closed at $12.12 as of 2026-03-20, trading 5.5% above its 200-week moving average of $11.49. The stock is currently moving closer to the line, down from 20.4% last week. The 14-week RSI sits at 39, indicating neutral momentum.
A big spike in selling this week — 3.5x the usual volume, and the price dropped. Sometimes this kind of heavy selling marks the end of a decline. The idea is that the last reluctant holders have finally sold, leaving fewer sellers left to push the price lower.
Over the past 578 weeks of data, LE has crossed below its 200-week moving average 8 times. On average, these episodes lasted 57 weeks. The average one-year return after crossing below was -24.3%, suggesting these dips have not historically been reliable buying opportunities for this stock.
With a market cap of $370 million, LE is a small-cap stock. The company generates a free cash flow yield of 5.8%, which is healthy. Return on equity stands at 2.3%. The stock trades at 1.5x book value.
The company has been aggressively buying back shares, reducing its share count by 6.5% over the past three years. This stock also meets the Yartseva multibagger criteria as a small-cap with strong free cash flow yield and reasonable book value.
Over the past 11.2 years, a hypothetical investment of $100 in LE would have grown to $33, compared to $372 for the S&P 500. LE has returned -9.4% annualized vs 12.5% for the index, underperforming the broader market over this period.
Free cash flow has been declining at a -30.3% compound annual rate. A deteriorating cash flow trend warrants extra scrutiny — the stock may be cheap for a reason.
