Please skip the intro if you have read my previous articles.

It’s far better to buy a wonderful company at a fair price than a fair company at a wonderful price.”

– Warren Buffett

What is a wonderful company, and what is ‘quality’ from an investing standpoint? The most constructive definition to address this question is Warren Buffett’s concept of ‘economic moat’, i.e. a long-lasting competitive advantage that allows a given company to harvest above-average returns on its capital, even when faced with economic downturns or powerful competitors.

Top 10 Undervalued Stocks To Watch Right Now: Gap, Inc. (GPS)

Advisors’ Opinion:

  • [By Shane Hupp]

    GAP (NYSE:GPS) had its target price reduced by Credit Suisse Group from $35.00 to $33.00 in a report released on Friday morning. They currently have a neutral rating on the apparel retailer’s stock.

  • [By ]

    Some reasons for my bearishness on retail stocks:

    Higher Energy Prices. Oil prices have rallied dramatically and back to 2014 levels, rising from about $35 a barrel in early 2016 to around $67 Thursday. That’s bad news for U.S. retailers, as rising oil prices historically squeeze consumer disposable incomes. That’s one reason why I’ve been consistently raising my short exposure to retail and plan to continue doing so. Shaky Same-Store Sales Growth. Recent improvements to same-store sales at Abercrombie & Fitch (ANF) , Urban Outfitters (URBN) , Dillard’s (DDS) , Gap Inc. (GPS) and Macy’s (M) come against downgraded expectations, and might not be sustainable anyway. No Deal for Nordstrom (JWN) . The Nordstrom family has apparently abandoned plans to take its namesake company private. I had expressed concerns that this would happen. Higher Interest Rates. A rise in the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (LIBOR) has recently accelerated. That’s bad news for retailers, as many variable-rate consumer debts (particularly mortgages) key off of the LIBOR. This will likely put a damper on mortgage refinancings — something that many see as an important ingredient for personal-consumption expenditures.

    BSM Technologies Inc (TSE:GPS) shares reached a new 52-week high during mid-day trading on Wednesday . The company traded as high as C$1.34 and last traded at C$1.34, with a volume of 22100 shares changing hands. The stock had previously closed at C$1.31.

  • [By JJ Kinahan]

    It was a different story for Gap Inc. (NYSE: GPS). The company’s stock fell more than 14.5 percent after it reported same-store sales climbed a little less than analysts had expected and earnings per share came in below expectations. Old Navy has been a driver for GPS, but same-store sales there rose 3 percent, down from 8 percent a year earlier.

  • [By Jim Crumly]

    As for individual stocks, retail earnings reports continue to produce winners and losers in the market, with Foot Locker (NYSE:FL) rising higher on its profit outlook and TheGap, Inc. (NYSE:GPS) stumbling due to softening in its core brand.

  • [By JJ Kinahan]

    We’ll see how other retailers’ results come in. If they’re also better than expected, that could point to a robust U.S. consumer sentiment. Target Corporation (NYSE: TGT), Lowe’s Companies, Inc. (NYSE: LOW), Gap Inc. (NYSE: GPS), Foot Locker, Inc. (NYSE: FL), and Tiffany & Co. (NYSE: TIF) are among the big names scheduled to report this week. Last week saw mixed signals from retailers, with Macy’s Inc. (NYSE: M) and Walmart Inc. (NYSE: WMT) both delivering impressive results while J.C. Penney Company Inc. (NYSE: JCP) and Nordstrom, Inc. (JWN) received poor reviews from the Street.

Top 5 High Tech Stocks To Buy For 2019

Shares of National Beverage Corp. (NASDAQ:FIZZ) rallied nicely during Friday trading after the company announced an aggressive capital allocation policy. The firm will pay out a $1.50 per share special dividend to shareholders of record on November 28, 2016, and the board of directors has approved the “concept” of another cash dividend before the end of the year. In addition, CEO Nick Caporella stated that the company wants to start paying a regular dividend with the dividend amount based on holding duration. I’m not sure how legal or feasible this actually is, but it is representative of the unconventional thinking that is embodied by the National Beverage Corp. management team.

Why now? While providing Caporella with some cash is an obvious motivation, I think the company remains committed to fighting the Glaucus Research short report, which accused the management team of accounting fraud. I’m confident that RSM, National Beverage Corp.’s auditor, would have uncovered this if it were an issue, so I am not particularly worried about any accounting shenanigans. Caporella called out the short sellers in the press release, saying:

    That’s the case for Sunoco (NYSE: SUN). After posting a net loss of $0.09 per share in 2017, the gas station owner is expected to swing to a hefty profit of $2.35 per share in 2018. But of the 14 analysts who follow the company, earnings estimates range as low as $1.22 and as high as $3.35 — so there is a high degree of uncertainty.

    The only segment where earnings declined was the catch-all one labeled “all other,” which houses different investments such as its stake in Sunoco L.P. (NYSE:SUN) and PES, a refining joint venture. PES has struggled due to higher costs, and recently declared bankruptcy. Meanwhile, Energy Transfer’s earnings from Sunoco L.P. declined because that entity sold the bulk of its retail assets and then used that cash to repurchase a portion of Energy Transfer’s investment.

Advisors’ Opinion:

    United States Steel Corp. (NYSE: X) is not feeling any love from investors after earnings. Maybe tariffs and fears of a trade war really don’t help when it hurts a company’s customers and end-users. The reality is that there are concerns over tariffs, but there is also concern about operational issues in North America affecting the results and making for a bumpy outlook in 2018.

    However, it also speaks to the flexibility of the company’s growth goals and how they have shifted with the market. When the industry was struggling, Nucor was more willing to expand via acquisition, taking advantage of the downturn to pick up assets at bargain prices. At this point, the overall steel industry is starting to recover, with even financially weak competitors like United States Steel Corporation (NYSE:X) and AK Steel (NYSE:AKS) reporting notably improved financial results in 2017. Now Nucor is shifting gears and working to fine-tune the profile of its business from within.
