Top Undervalued Stocks To Buy Right Now

Leave a reply

It bears repeating, PDL BioPharma (PDLI) is undervalued and a $100 million buyback was just announced on Sept. 24, 2018. This buyback program represents about 25% of cash on the balance sheet. Likewise, the buybacks could retire as much as 20% of shares on the market. This provides a clear near-term catalyst for a stock that trades at half of book value, just north of a net-net, and a market cap that is less than cash on the balance sheet and less than expected cash flows from royalty deals for the next four years:

Top Undervalued Stocks To Buy Right Now: Fossil Inc.(FOSL)

Advisors’ Opinion:

  • [By Dan Caplinger]

    The latest retail sales report gave market participants bad news on the U.S. economic front, with a 1.2% drop in December marking the worst showing in almost a decade. That came as a shock to investors, and some went so far as to question whether the report was accurate in the aftermath of the long government shutdown. Others fear that a consumer slowdown could foreshadow an economic recession, but at the individual-company level, reports from Tempur Sealy International (NYSE:TPX) and Fossil Group (NASDAQ:FOSL) show how different parts of the retail world are seeing different conditions.

    On its own Alphabet’s (NASDAQ:GOOG)(NASDAQ:GOOGL) Google acquiring the smartwatch intellectual property portfolio from Fossil (NASDAQ:FOSL) (along with a passel of R&D employees) for $40 million wasn’t enough to convince many that a long-rumored Pixel Watch may finally be coming. It was a small transaction, and any number of rationales could be floated to explain the purchase.

The Bank of England has stood pat on monetary policy this year even as investors call for more rate increases, with inflation exceeding the central bank’s 2% target.

But Carl Weinberg, chief economist at High Frequency Economics, says the central bank’s decision to hold back on rate increases so far this year may be the prudent choice. He observed, in a recent note, that while the central bank has only delivered one quarter percentage point rate increase since November, the “real” yield on 10-year U.K. government bonds, known as gilts, has risen more than four times as much, suggesting Britain is already grappling with tighter financial conditions.
