SAN FRANCISCO - September 10, 2013 - Merriman Capital, Inc. ("Merriman"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Merriman Holdings, Inc. ( MERR ), announced today that it has initiated equity research coverage of SMACK Sportswear ("the Company") ( SMAK ) at Speculative Buy and a $0.09 price target.
Headquartered in Los Angeles, SMACK Sportswear designs, manufactures and distributes sports and beach apparel to teams, clubs, athletes, beach goers and sports enthusiasts. SMACK`s products come in various materials, designs, colors and are available in customizable packages that cater to its client`s whims. The company`s in-house sublimation, screen printing and stitching provide clubs and teams with a one-stop storefront for custom uniforms, which eliminates the cumbersome process of purchasing generic sportswear from large apparel companies only to transfer them to outsourced screen printers for customization--a typical process undergone in uniform development.
SMACK distributes its products through its e-commerce web portal www.smacksportswear.com and through in-house sales initiatives that directly target teams and clubs. The company generates revenues through apparel sales via the Internet, retail stores, and through club & school team purchases.
