Update - Dec. 20

Pretty absurd downgrade of Yelp. The stock is basically being given away below $30 and JPMorgan doesn't want it. The stock has actually hit a new 52-week low on the news. 

-Yelp downgraded to Underweight from Neutral at JPMorgan

-JPMorgan analyst Cory Carpenter downgraded Yelp to Underweight from Neutral with a price target of $23, down from $34. The insurance lead generation sector is the analyst's favorite across small and mid-cap internet stocks for 2023. He downgraded Ziff Davis to Neutral and Yelp to Underweight citing a cautious view of online advertising. Trends in online advertising are unlikely to improve at least through the first half of 2023, Carpenter tells investors in a research note.

Finviz Chart


Original article published on Nov. 4

  • Yelp reported a strong Q3'22 with revenues growing 15% YoY.
  • The consumer review site cut Q4 targets due to the tough economic environment, but revenue growth is still targeted at nearly 12%.
  • The stock is absurdly cheap below 7x EV/EBITDA targets.
Like clockwork, Yelp (NYSE:YELP) reports strong quarterly results and the market mostly yawns. The consumer review site even repurchases shares at very discounted prices, but the stock is still stuck below $40. My investment thesis remains ultra-Bullish on Yelp due to the deep value, but the catalyst to make investors actually load up on the stock won't be clear until after it actually occurs.

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

By -

  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. My  investment thesis  remains very Bearish on the EV charging station stock on any rallies into the mid-$20s. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha.  Disclosure: No position mentioned.

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.
