Sears Holdings Externalizing Brands Could Be Major Catalyst For Stock

By -
With news last week that Sears Holdings (SHLD) would be selling Craftsman tools in Costco (COST) stores, Eddie Lampert has hopefully ushered in the era of breaking away from a retail store based operation. Ever since Lampert bought Sears and Kmart, investors have been looking forward to the day that the company would focus more on selling the brands worldwide and monetizing the massive real estate assets versus focusing on a dying retail operation that seems utterly lost.

No more Kenmore at just Sears. Interesting concepts by retail 'expert' Howard Davidowitz. Another guy that just doesn't understand the future of Sears. Sears is not a retailer. Do you want to sell to millions of customers or thousands?

Forgot to add that the stock is up 7% based on this news combined with the strong market.

Retail analysts might want Sears to remain a retailer. Shareholders want them to be a brand seller and a REIT operator.

Occidental: Still Producing Too Much Oil

Though oil continues plunging, the oil giants continue producing more. For Q4, Occidental Petroleum (OXY) had roughly flat production. The worst part is that OXY plans to grow production by 2% to 4% in 2016. The stock has held up somewhat strong, but the inability to turn off the spigot remains troubling.

ChargePoint: Low Quality Beat

  ChargePoint beat FQ2'22 revenue estimates, but the losses are mounting. The company guided up FY22 numbers partly due to acquisitions. The stock still trades at an estimated 21x FY23 number leaving limited upside for the stock and reinforcing why venture funds sold 13.8 million shares. Looking for a portfolio of ideas like this one? Members of Out Fox The Street get exclusive access to our model portfolio.  Learn More » After  solid FQ2'22 earnings ,  ChargePoint Holdings  ( CHPT ) has seen a nice bump in the stock. Now investors have to confront the valuation divide and deal with the past insider sales likely leading to future sales on any stock rallies.

Aurora Cannabis: Deal Or No Deal

By -
Aurora Cannabis was left out of the major deal making in 2018. The cannabis company updated FQ2 guidance to revenues of $50 to $55 million with a continued focus on pure production growth. The stock is down as the market is becoming less impressed with commodity farming operations due to the prime Oregon example. The stock is below key resistance at $5.40 as medical cannabis patient totals failed to impress. As the end of 2018 came and went,   Aurora Cannabis   ( ACB ) was a notable absentee from the deal making in the cannabis market. Just about all of the other major Canadian cannabis players got large investments or signed up powerful partnerships, but the related stocks didn't generally maintain rallies following the deals. Based on the early legalization data in Canada and Oregon, the best option for Aurora Cannabis might actually be selling production capacity while the Canadian market remains hot.
