Noodles & Company (NDLS) Stock Upgraded - 2014 Price Target $60

Noodles & Company (NDLS) is a stock I cover in the stock picks group and is a stock i own for the long term in my retirement account.  Given the drop down into the $37's on Friday, I'm now issuing an upgrade and a buy alert to anyone looking for a good long term stock to buy and hold.  Noodles & Company (NDLS) receives a $60 price target for 2014.

Noodles & Company (NDLS) is a fast casual restaurant chain that is growing regional to national.  Management came from Chipotle Mexican Grill (CMG) and they are doing their best to replicate Chipotle's success.

Noodles & Co is valued at only $1.1 billion with around 380 restaurants right now.  Their goal is to have 2,500 locations in 10-15 years.  By that time, we should see NDLS hit a market cap of at least $10 billion.  This would translate into a share price of around $350 per share if all goes well.

Expect 2014 to kick off explosive growth and the stock to rebound sharply.  As I stated earlier, I'm giving NDLS a 2014 Price Target of $60 per share.
