Top Low Price Stocks To Own Right Now

Leave a reply

Costco Wholesale (NASDAQ:COST) is a great company with a pricey stock. I shop at Costco. My late father loved Costco. I have owned Costco stock. But at $243 per share, its opening price on Sept. 10, it has a market cap of $106 billion and an above-average price to earnings ratio of 35 for a retail company expecting sales of about $135 billion when it reports its fiscal year Oct. 4. 

For a retailer, that’s expensive. Walmart (NYSE:WMT) has a market cap of $280 billion on $500 billion in sales.

Retailers sell at a discount to sales because their margins are wafer-thin. Costco usually reports net income in line with the membership fees it collects. During the most recent quarter those fees came to $737 million. Net income attributable to Costco for the quarter was $750 million. 

Customers Win

That means Costco is running the business at break-even, ploughing even the benefits it gets from its credit card relationship with Citigroup (NYSE:C) back into its low, low prices on high-quality goods.

Top Low Price Stocks To Own Right Now: Steelcase Inc.(SCS)

Advisors’ Opinion:

  • [By Asit Sharma]

    Rising commodity costs from the Trump administration’s tariffs on steel and aluminum continue to pose a concern for the manufacturer. Herman Miller expects steel inflation to add another $15 million-$20 million to its costs of goods sold annually going forward. However, the company anticipates offsetting this with $30 million-$60 million of yearly productivity savings from various cost-cutting initiatives. 

    That the company quantified the expected effects of tariffs and predicted a productivity offset likely contributed to investors’ buying interest following earnings. It’s interesting to note that competitor Steelcase Inc. (NYSE:SCS) has taken an alternate route, and is raising list prices on customers to protect profitability.

    The company hiked its quarterly dividend by 10% to 0.1975, which on an annualized basis yields 1.9% at the current share price.

    So who will get the loot? Believe it or not, more than half the House’s increase in funding (a $459 million increase compared to fiscal 2018) is going to science programs — $6.7 billion in total.

    Markets are cheering a major development in efforts to fix the ongoing trade conflict between the United States and China. According to Reuters, Chinese telecom giant ZTE has signed an agreement to get back into business with its American partners. The agreement will lift a ban by the U.S. Commerce Department that prevented China’s No. 2 telecommunications equipment from buying from U.S. suppliers. This is a major development, and one that signals progress among trade officials from both nations. There are now more job openings in the United States than available workers. This is the first time that the Department of Labor has documented this phenomenon. There are 6.7 million openings compared to the 6.4 million workers available to fill those positions. As a result, U.S. companies have been forced to increase compensation in order to attract talent. All of the positive economic development could come to a screeching halt should the U.S. experience the largest labor strike in a decade. Reports indicate that the Teamsters and the United Parcel Service (NYSE: UPS) are on a collision course that could result in a general strike. The union has announced that 260,000 UPS employees have authorized a strike should both sides fail to reach a labor deal by August 1. UPS is responsible for the transport of 6% of the nation’s gross domestic product.

11 Best & Worst Broker-Dealers: Q4 Earnings, 2016

OMB Finishes Review of Fiduciary Rule Delay Request

DOL Moves to Delay Fiduciary Rule

The Dow Jones industrial average surged 300 points to top 21,000 for the first time, the dollar advanced and Treasuries fell as investors grew increasingly confident global economic growth is accelerating, clearing the path for higher interest rates in America.

Major lenders led gains among equities, with Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and JPMorgan Chase & Co. trading at all-time highs as the odds for a rate hike in two weeks swelled past 65% and President Donald Trump’s address to Congress did little to alter views that his administration will seek pro-growth policies. Industrial and energy shares also surged as the S&P 500 Index rallied the most since the day after the election.

Currencies

The Bloomberg Dollar Spot Index jumped 0.4%, climbing for a fourth straight day and heading for the highest level since Jan. 27.  The yen slumped 0.8% to 113.65 per dollar, for a third day of losses. The euro dropped 0.3% to $1.0550 and the British pound weakened 0.7% to $1.2291.

    The automotive industry looks more like the Wild Wild West than ever before. Automakers are developing ridesharing projects, Silicon Valley tech companies are developing driverless technology, and auto dealership groups are developing online selling platforms. Even Avis Budget Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:CAR) has to be commended for its forward-thinking strategy acquiring Zipcar and inking partnerships with the likes of Alphabet’s Waymo, its autonomous car development company. Avis’ recent move is a smart decision, but General Motors (NYSE:GM)might end up crashing the party.
