One of last week's biggest winners was�Five Below (NASDAQ:FIVE), which soared 41.3% after posting blowout financial results�and boosting its top- and bottom-line guidance for all of fiscal 2018. At least seven different analysts would go on to jack up their price targets on the stock.
Five Below has been a haven for budget-conscious teens and tweens for years. The fast-growing retailer sells trendy items that -- true to its signage -- are priced at $5 or below. A year ago, the chain's success was widely credited to the booming popularity of fidget spinners, but clearly there's more to this story than one hot fad. Sales keep growing at the store level, which -- paired with brisk expansion -- is resulting in healthy double-digit-percentage revenue growth.

Rising aboveNet sales surged 27% to hit $296.3 million for the fiscal first quarter ending in early May. The buildout of new stores continues to be the primary driver of top-line gains. There are now 658 Five Below stores open, 19% more than what the cheap-chic empire had a year earlier. Comparable-store sales rose 3.2%.�
