SLB’s fundamentals are getting stronger – does it also make the stock a useful value?

Since the beginning of 2021, the energy sector has rebounded strongly from the pandemic-driven pressures that had kept prices – particularly in crude oil – depressed throughout 2020. From a November 2020 low point at around $34, for example, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude more than doubled to an October peak at around $85. The […]

GIL is consolidating near its 52-week high. Is it too late to buy the stock?

One of the sources of a lot of conversation among talking heads and market analysts in general lies around the “reopening” concept. This theme has been pretty constant for most of the year, even as COVID variants – omicron is just the latest – have extended the health crisis well into 2022, with some experts […]

WMT is a little over -8% below its yearly high – where is its value price?

No matter what current market conditions may be at any given time, one of the primary questions any long-term focused investor – whether you prefer a growth or value approach – should be whether the strength of the underlying business is strong enough to justify a stock’s current price. For growth-focused investors, the question is […]

TTC is at the bottom of its 2021 trend with an interesting value proposition

December means a lot of things. The start of the holiday season means seeing family, shopping for gifts, and planning social events. In a pandemic-driven world, a lot of us have been looking forward to this holiday season to restart many of those same activities that we were forced to minimize or possibly even avoid […]

Don’t ignore the big discounts in Energy stocks like PSX

One of the big themes this year of the “reopening” trade has come from a generally expected increase in consumer activity in activities that were almost completely restricted in 2020 such as travel to take vacations. That generally implies consumer demand for airlines, hotel bookings, and resorts should also increase, which is typically good news […]

HRL is going parabolic – is it too late to find good value?

For more than two years – even before COVID-19 became a global pandemic that collapsed economic and social activity for most of 2020 and that continues to strain health care systems and keep pressure on a variety of economic forces – I’ve been writing about the wisdom in being very selective about the investments you […]

As wrap up 2021 and look toward 2022, the sad and simple truth is that, no matter how much we might want to be able stop including COVID-19 and its impact on every aspect of life in our daily discussions, the health crisis hasn’t gone away, but instead is showing more persistence than any of […]

Has KR passed the point of useful value?

Over the last three years, I’ve used economic uncertainty – first from a year-long trade war through 2019, and then of course the COVID-19 pandemic starting in 2020 – as the basis for a lot of the analysis, and certainly some of my own investments in the marketplace. I think that when economic conditions become […]

HPE’s consolidation range could be a useful value-driven buying set up

The Tech sector has enjoyed a lion’s share of attention among all segments of the economy for a number of years. Throughout the pandemic, that attention only seemed both intensified and justified, as technology companies provided the tools that allowed much of corporate America to keep things going by shifting their workforces to remote working […]

MGA is down nearly -26% from its yearly high – is it a good bargain yet?

One of the biggest themes that just about all of us have been paying attention to in one way or another throughout the year is the reopening of social activities and events from 2020, COVID-driven shutdowns and restrictions. While the pandemic is far from over, previously hampered industries like restaurants, hotels, travel and resorts have […]

AT&T’s bargain proposition is only getting better the more the stock drops

For most of the last two years – even before the pandemic started – one of the areas that I have been able to find some interesting valuations to work with have come from the Telecommunications industry. Some of the largest players in the industry do much more than just telecommunications; AT&T Inc. (T) has, […]

The 'art' of VC startup valuations is a forgery

Venture capitalists frequently say that valuing startups is “more art than science.” If that’s true, then it’s absurdist art, because most seed-stage businesses have no value. In fact, seed-stage startups — companies that have not yet released a product, regardless of how many rounds they’ve raised — are probably worth less than zero using any […]

BBY is down almost -25% in the last month. Should you stay away or think about buying?

If you’re like me, you’re probably more than a little bit tired of hearing all of the talk about coronavirus and its impact on daily life. That’s a big reason, I think that the market rebounded so quickly from pandemic-driven, bear market lows that took about a month to be seen from the market’s high […]

TSN is nearing its 52-week high – is it too expensive, or still a good buy?

This week has seen the market reclaim much of the ground it gave up after Thanksgiving, as fears about the new omicron coronavirus variant have eased as indications are that while it is, indeed highly contagious, it also seems to be less severe than other variants, like delta that continue to plague global health systems.

SIG is a 2021 winner. What about 2022?

Sometimes, answering the question of whether a stock represents a legitimate, attractive value opportunity can be hard to do. A company could be struggling not only to grow its business, but may be forced to restructure its business in a way that makes most of the traditional measurables investors like to use look very unfavorable.
