Should Retirees Bet on Burlington Stores?

Although Burlington Stores (NYSE: BURL) often outperforms its peers on a variety of metrics, it rarely garners the same kind of attention as does a company like TJX (NYSE: TJX), which is typically used to symbolize the resilience of retail's discount segment even in the Age of Amazon.

Yet across 1-, 3-, and 5-year time frames (Burlington went public in 2013), the share-price gains of this retailer have vastly outpaced those of its rivals. Maybe because many still view Burlington as a one-note discounter focused on coats -- despite its having long ago expanded its merchandise line -- it has been able to stay out of the limelight more than its more high-profile peers.

That's just one of the reasons Burlington Stores deserves a place in your retirement portfolio.
