Best Penny Stocks To Watch For 2019


Shares of Zoe’s Kitchen (NYSE:ZOES) plunged 40% to an all-time low on May 25 after the Mediterranean-inspired restaurant chain missed first quarter expectations and slashed its full-year guidance. Zoe’s revenue rose 13% annually to $102.1 million, but that missed estimates by $3.2 million.

However, most of that growth was driven by new restaurant openings, since its comparable restaurant sales slid 2.3% — compared to expectations of 0.5% growth. Zoe’s blamed the drop on a slight calendar shift, adverse weather conditions, lower dine-in traffic, and a decline in its average single person check.

Opening new restaurants amid declining sales at existing ones is a costly strategy. That’s why Zoe’s posted an adjusted net loss of $2.6 million, or $0.13 per share — which missed estimates by $0.13 and compared poorly to its net profit of $0.3 million, or a penny per share, in the prior year quarter. Its adjusted EBITDA also tumbled 31% to $5.6 million.

    Although Textainer Group Holdings Limited (NYSE:TGH) and Teekay Corporation (NYSE:TK) are both focused on the shipping industry, they go about it in vastly different ways. Both companies were hit hard by industry downturns, but Textainer started to see a notable improvement in its container business in 2017. Teekay’s collection of ship-owning businesses in the energy sector, on the other hand, continued to struggle overall — but signs seem to point to an upturn this year. Which one is the better buy today?
