    It’s hard to blame people for feeling like retail earnings go on and on, but the end of the road is in sight. Today’s earnings from Foot Locker (FL) mean we’re almost there, but that doesn’t mean investors can necessarily take their eyes off the road.

Consumer discretionary was one of the few sectors to post gains Thursday. One question, however, is if the rise in gas prices to $3 a gallon this spring might put a brake on consumer spending.

Top 10 Undervalued Stocks For 2018

Leave a reply

If youre looking for an undervalued company in the auto segment thats almost guaranteed to grow slow and steady over the long term, then the Lear Corporation (LEA) should definitely be on your vetting list. The lowly PE ratio of 10 is merely the bitter aftertaste of investors in a company that went belly up during the great recession because of its debt pile. I believe the company has shaken off its old habits and is fiscally more responsible now. Moreover, it holds a large market share of the seat segment and a growing one in e-systems, the second of which addresses a growing auto electrification market. So lets look at how you, as an investor, can take advantage of the troubles this company has gone through and, more importantly, come out of.

The auto industry is on the verge of the greatest disruption of our times as automaker after automaker pursues technologies like autonomous vehicle technology, electrification and connectivity. Sure, you can take the driver out of the car, but you cant take away the seats! And thats where the Lear Corporation makes its plush entrance. With 2017 seat assembly sales of $15.9 billion representing nearly a fourth of the addressable market, Lear looms large in a relatively stable and growing niche of a highly disruptive segment.

Top 10 Undervalued Stocks For 2018: The NeutriSci International (NU)

Advisors’ Opinion:

  • [By Bryan Murphy]

    In the grand scheme of things it shouldn’t be surprising, though odds are good at least a few people are surprised at how quickly it happened. That is, health supplement and healthy-foods brand name NeutriSci International Inc (CVE:NU) and the developer of a cannabis-infusion technology — a means of packing more CBD into hemp oil — called Lexaria Bioscience Corp (OTCMKTS:LXRP) have finalized new supplement that is done testing and will soon be available for consumers. The tablet (a ‘melt’, technically) is a combination of pterostilbene and cannabidiol, offering a double-barreled benefit to the health-conscious.

    The benefits of cannabidiol, found in hemp and marijuana, are relatively well understood by the market at this point. Cannabidiol can do a human body a lot of good, like the reduction of nausea, control of seizures, anti-cancer activity, anti-inflammation effects, and more. Pterostilbene is the lesser-known of the two components of the new tablet, but no less impressive and no less beneficial. Pterostilbene is known to combat high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and oxidative stress. Combining the two is a real one-two punch for the health-conscious.

    That’s what made November’s news so exciting… NeutriSci International has an established name and marketing channel, while Lexaria Bioscience has the science that makes hemp oil far more functional. Indeed, to fully appreciate the upside for LXRP, one has to embrace Lexaria’s science and why it matters.

    The bulk of the vitamins, anti-oxidants, minerals, amino acids and all the other desirable components of the pills you take and foods you eat don’t actually get absorbed into your body. Sometimes as much as 96% of the ingredient in question isn’t extracted, and instead passes right through. Not only is it a waste of time and money, it’s a bit of a hassle to swallow a big capsule — or several capsules — for little to no benefit.

    Lexaria Bioscience changes this. In short,

  • [By Matthew Briar]

    Last week — to the day, in fact — Lexaria Bioscience Corp (OTCMKTS:LXRP) announced it was teaming up with neutraceutical company NeutriSci International Inc (CVE:NU) to create a new kind of health supplement that gave consumers the ability to tap into the benefits of hemp. We hailed it as the shape of things to come. What we didn’t know, however, was how quickly those things would take shape. Just this morning the company told LXRP shareholders it was already forging another such symbiotic relationship…. this one with Hempco Food and Fiber Inc (CVE:HEMP).

    Simply put, Lexaria Bioscience is focused on improving the bioavailability of the healthy stuff found in food, supplements, vitamins, and yes, even in cannabis and hemp.

    It’s not widely recognized, but the bulk of the vitamins, anti-oxidants, minerals, amino acids and all the other desirable components of the pills you take and foods you eat don’t actually get absorbed into your body. Sometimes as much as 96% of the ingredient in question isn’t extracted, and instead passes right through. Not only is it a waste of time and money, it’s a bit of a hassle to swallow a big capsule — or several capsules — for little to no benefit.

    Lexaria Bioscience changes this. In short, Lexaria has developed and patented a proprietary technology that makes valuable molecules taste better and absorb better in the digestive tract. This platform could be applied to a variety of nutritional and health-oriented favorites, but Lexaria is starting with hemp as it’s the most underserved market and arguably the biggest growth opportunity. Hemp, and hemp oil to be exact, can provide a lot of various medical benefits like the reduction of nausea, control of seizures, anti-cancer activity, anti-inflammation effects, and more.

    The future for Lexaria Bioscience is partnerships… licensing its science and know-how to companies with existing product lines and distribution networks that can easily inject hemp

  • [By Matthew Briar]

    Indeed, it’s also garnered interest from business partners. In November, Lexaria Bioscience and NeutriSci International Inc (CVE:NU) jointly announced they were entering a joint venture that would utilize Lexaria Bioscience’s proprietary infusion platform and tap into NeutriSci International’s existing distribution network to create and market a whole new supplement product line. In January, the duo announced it had finalized new supplement that is done testing and will soon be available for consumers. The tablet (a ‘melt’, technically) is a combination of pterostilbene and cannabidiol, offering a double-barreled benefit to the health-conscious.

  • [By Matthew Briar]

    What do you get when you cross a science that drastically improves the absorption of cannabidiol (the healthy component of cannabis) with pterostilbene (an antioxidant) tablet? It’s not a joke in search of a punch line. It’s going to be the health supplement millions of consumers have been waiting for, brought to them by a joint venture between NeutriSci International Inc (CVE:NU) and Lexaria Bioscience Corp (OTCMKTS:LXRP). The two companies announced this morning they were entering a joint venture that would utilize Lexaria Bioscience’s proprietary infusion platform and tap into NeutriSci International’s existing distribution network to create and market a whole new supplement product line.

    Lexaria has developed and patented a technology that makes valuable molecules taste better and absorb better in the digestive tract. This platform could be applied to a variety of nutritional and health-oriented favorites, but Lexaria is starting with hemp as it’s the most underserved market and arguably the biggest growth opportunity.

    Just to be clear, hemp and marijuana are not the same thing. Hemp doesn’t have any tetrahydrocannabinol (or THC) in it, which is the key driver of its psychoactive — the ‘high’ — response. Hemp, and hemp oil to be exact, does have cannabidiol in it though, and for those who’ve been following the saga of medical marijuana and cannabis, they’ll know cannabidiol can provide a lot of various medical benefits like the reduction of nausea, control of seizures, anti-cancer activity, anti-inflammation effects, and more.

    NeutriSci International is Canadian corporation that specializes in the marketing, development and distribution of proprietary nutraceuticals. It’s got a rather wide array of products in its portfolio, but the one of immediate interest is its pterostilbene, as it fits best with the hemp-absorption technology Lexaria Bioscience brings to the table.

Why Investors Shouldn’t Bet on Lululemon Athletica Inc. Stock

Leave a reply

Since mid-October, Lululemon Athletica inc. (NASDAQ:LULU) has pulled off an impressive rally. A key has been a standout earnings report, which saw a beat on the top and bottom lines. Yet it is still important to note that the year has still been fairly choppy, with the overall return for LULU stock at about 21%.

So what’s next? What should investors do with LULU stock? Well, I think the best approach is to be cautious. While the company has been able to get some of its momentum back, there are still some nagging issues.

Let’s first look at some of the pros on LULU stock. First of all, the company certainly has a powerful brand, which has been able to command premium pricing. Lululemon also has a loyal customer base.

As for the financials, they are solid. There is $650 million in the bank and no long-term debt. And here are some other metrics from the latest earnings report:

– Total comparable sales rose by 8%.

– The direct to consumer segment jumped by 26% (showing that the company is getting traction with its online efforts).

– Gross profit increased 16% to $322 million.

– Growth in Asia spiked by nearly 100%, with a 450%+ gain in China.

– The company reconfirmed its goal of achieving $4 billion in revenues by 2020.

So yes, things have been going quite well.

LULU Stock and Competitive Pressures

LULU has been able to manage the competitive threats. But this can only last so long. LULU has to fight tough rivals like Nike Inc (NYSE:NKE), adidas AG (ADR) (OTCMKTS:ADDYY), Gap Inc (NYSE:GPS) and Under Armour Inc (NYSE:UAA).

There are also scrappy startups that have access to large amounts of venture capital, like Kate Hudson’s Fabletics. Oh, and yes, there is buzz that the mighty Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) will make a play for the market.

Actually, there are already signs that the competitive pressures are having an impact. For example, Canaccord analyst Camilo Lyon believes that the recent warehouse sales point to some ominous problems.

In a recent note, he stated: “This increase in frequency of warehouse sales could be in response to slowing brand momentum amidst rising competitive pressure and shifting fashion trends.”

Interestingly enough, his research indicates there is a growing trend toward denim, which is likely to weigh on the company. What’s more, his survey found that 18% of customers plan on buying fewer LULU pants in the coming year

Keep in mind that Lyon has a $45 price target on LULU stock.

Bottom Line on LULU Stock

If you take a look at the chart of LULU stock, it is kind of remarkable. For the most part, there has been a cap at about $80 per share, after which there is usually a notable drop. This has happened twice in 2012, twice in 2013, and once in 2016!

Then again, the fact is that Lululemon has a long history of inconsistent performance, such as with inventory issues. Let’s face it, this is common for any innovative brand.

Will things be different this time around? I would not bet on it. After all, the LULU stock price is already baking in much of the good fundamentals and then some. Note that the price to earnings multiple is at an expensive 39X, but the annualized growth rate for revenues is only about 13%. In other words, it would not be surprising to see yet another pullback.

“Formula for success: rise early, work hard, strike oil” – J. Paul Getty

I must confess to feeling kind of lonely at times this year being one of a handful of observers of the casino space, (and at times, the only one,) standing firm on my undiminished faith that Las Vegas Sands (NYSE:LVS) valuations were dead wrong. Now, after the Macau Parisian has opened and LVS Q3 results knocked it out of the park I suddenly have lots of company. I’m bemused to see the bandwagon suddenly getting rather crowded.

There’s no room for gloat or vapid vainglory in my gene pool. I’ve had my share of missed calls – but the casino space is my home stamping grounds. But it is fair to point out that many prophets of doom since the 2015 junket crackdown ran for the exits or pooh-poohed my consistent call on SA that LVS was still worth $70 in my view. Others agreed with me but were less bullish on price. We’re not there yet to be certain. But as I have written before, if the trade holds steady at $60 or above, I feel the ramp-up to $70 or possibly higher by Q2 2017 will move into the speed lane.

    Early on Monday, analysts at Deutsche Bank lowered their price target on Occidental Petroleum Corporation (OXY) to reflect a lower-than-expected valuation of an asset that the oil and gas exploration company is trying to sell.

    Though the analysts lowered OXY’s price target from $114 to $109, they still maintain a “Buy” rating on the stock. The new price target suggests a 22% upside to the stock’s Friday closing price of $89.49.

    Deutsche Bank analyst Paul Sankey said, “Bloomberg Finance LP reports that Oxy is seeking sale of 40% of Mideast operations for around $8bn, which would imply $20bn total value for the unit. However reportedly some suitors are valuing the asset at around $15bn. This is a relatively negative valuation against our previous view that Oxy would be seeking $25+bn for its MENA business. We are cutting our price target to $109/share to reflect this lower implied valuation.”

    Occidental Petroleum shares were up 96 cents, or 1.07%, during pre-market trading on Monday. The stock is up 16.81% year-to-date.
