Top 5 Low Price Stocks To Watch Right Now

Leave a reply

EMM & QNX will be the growth drivers going forward. But the risks in BlackBerry stock continue to remain elevated.

BlackBerry(NSDQ:BBRY)stock is a very volatile stock. When the company announced its latest set of earnings on the 20th of December, the share price rose to around $8 a share, but since then has plummeted back down to the $7 level. Blackberry is unique in that it is a low priced stock but is just as liquid as many of its peers. This combined with the volatility of the tech sector attracts all types of investors and traders as volatility is a guarantee (which we have obviously seen over the past week or so).

BlackBerry’s latest fiscal third quarter was definitely a mixed bag. On one hand, you had aggressive margin expansion and a surprising profitable quarter on a non-GAAP basis, but on the other hand, top line came in $20 million short of what was expected. A return to revenue growth is expected next year with enterprise software & QNX probably leading the way. Blackberryand its investors know that if this company can comprehensively combine these areas as well as its security wing to work cohesively in the emerging Internet Of Things market (IoT), then this company will have a strategic competitive advantage. Blackberry’s pivot from hardware to software may have been well timed but I would still recommend caution. Here are three reasons to back up my case.

    Thursday ended in the red for most major benchmarks on Wall Street, with the Dow trading down by triple digits at times before climbing back toward the close. After having bounced back sharply in recent days, stocks seemed to lose upward momentum, and interest rate fears returned to the market. The yield on the 10-year Treasury bond once again moved above the 2.9% mark, and shorter-term Treasurys had yields reach levels they haven’t seen in years. Yet even though the overall market was ready to take a break, some companies still enjoyed good news that lifted their shares. Bank of New York Mellon (NYSE:BK), Snap-on (NYSE:SNA), and Rigel Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:RIGL) were among the best performers on the day. Here’s why they did so well.

    Markets are cheering the jobs report, which easily topped expectations, this morning. In addition to a falling unemployment rate, the U.S. Department of Labor announced that U.S. hourly earnings increased by 0.3%. This report could provide the U.S. Federal Reserve with additional reasons to raise interest rates as concerns about inflation persist. The Fed has said it will raise interest rates two more times in 2018. However, the market has priced in a 30% chance that the Fed hikes rates three additional times. U.S. President Donald Trump has fired the opening rounds of a possible trade war. The United States hit the European Union, Canada, and Mexico with tariffs on steel and aluminum. Canada responded yesterday with retaliatory measures to target similar U.S. products. Crude oil prices fell Friday as markets continue to eye OPEC’s next move. According to reports, Saudi Arabia and Russia have discussed plans to increase total production by 1 million barrels per day. The uptick would aim to address falling production in Venezuela and U.S. sanctions in Iran. The rumors come as U.S. production is sitting at near-record highs and is rivaling the output of Russia. These factors are part of a wider list of issues that will only continue to press oil prices lower in the months ahead.

JM Financial’s research report on Avenue Supermarts

DMarts 4QFY18 profitability is a tad below the kind of trajectory that one has come to expect from the company, and that was in part due to the accelerated store-additions that happened during the quarter – 14 new stores were added vs past 6Ms run-rate of 4-5 per quarter. This likely caused a higher than expected rise in 4Qs SG&A and some adverse impact on mix. Revenue growth is on expected lines 22.5% on reported basis which, as per our workings, translates to an intrinsic growth of 27-28%. Reported LTL growth for FY18 is a modest 14.2% which again, in our view, has the impact of GST-related changes ex which LTL for the fiscal would have been c.18%. LT story is intact; 14 new stores in 4Q take FY18s total to 24 – reflecting a slightly higher pace vs that achieved in the last 2 years this should allay concerns on DMarts ability to find new locations for store rollouts, in our view.
