What this transaction means for investors
Geneva Capital Management sold some shares in Ollie’s amid its most sustained downturn since the 2022 bear market. After years of gains, the stock reversed course in August, likely because of its increasing valuation.
The fund has held shares of this stock for years, and since share amounts have fluctuated over that time, the modest trimming of shares does not appear to be an unusual move for the fund. Moreover, since it reduced its holdings by only 8%, the fund has likely not lost confidence in Ollie’s.
Indeed, holding most of its shares could be a good decision. With an uncertain economy, shoppers may be on the lookout for the closeout merchandise Ollie’s sells. Also, it has recently acquired Big Lots and opened 86 new stores in fiscal 2025, pointing to significant expansion.
Looking at its current valuation, its 31 P/E ratio is just above its five-year average earnings multiple of 30. Still, that valuation is unlikely to stop the stock’s growth longer term, indicating the recent downturn in the retail stock could be short-lived.
