  • JC Penney's New Home Shops Look Amazing

    By Salvatore "Sam" Mattera - May 22, 2013 | Tickers: BBBY, JCP, MSO

    Since I bought shares of struggling retailer J.C. Penney (NYSE: JCP) in March, I've been stopping into my local store periodically to judge the ongoing renovations. It’s one of the largest in the state, and has received nearly all of the mini-shop concepts.

    Throughout May, J.C. Penney has been finishing up the shops dedicated to home goods. Visually, the shops look great -- they are organized and more »

    By John Timmes - May 22, 2013 | Tickers: BBBY, JCP, JOSB

    J.C. Penney (NYSE: JCP) has been widely discussed recently for the ousting of CEO, Ron Johnson. Johnson tried to reinvent the historical retailer and did away with two of it's best known strategies, sales prices and coupons. Unfortunately for Johnson, customers did not share his vision, and J.C. Penney suffered greatly.

    Two retailers that have embraced these strategies have been enjoying the increasing health of the U more »

  • There's Still Value in These Shares

    By Ted Cooper - May 14, 2013 | Tickers: BBBY, PIR, WSM

    The holy grail of business is to own a company that has a durable competitive advantage. Having a durable competitive advantage almost assures success no matter what challenges the economy or competitive environment bring in the short term.

    Unfortunately, most companies do not have the luxury of having a durable competitive advantage. Therefore, these companies must strive to become the lowest-cost producer in the industry in order to have any more »

  • 3 Retailers Buying Back their Own Shares

    By Jordan Wathen - May 7, 2013 | Tickers: AZO, BBBY, M

    Share repurchases are one of the most powerful ways to compound investor capital. Charlie Munger calls companies that buy back their stock the “cannibals,” one of his three favorite places to find the best long-term winners.

    Some slower-growing retail chains are taking to repurchases to drive shareholder wealth. Here are three retailers that have repurchased more than 5% of their stock in the past year.

  • Home Furnishing Stocks are Cheap in a Hot Housing Market

    By Jordan Wathen - May 1, 2013 | Tickers: BBBY, PIR

    Home sales data couldn't be much better than it is right now.

    The number of pending home sales reached a 3-year high, with home sales in March coming in 7% higher than the year ago period.

    Homebuilders are on a tear on the news, but the best plays are on the fringe. Home furnishing stocks deserve a look given their inexpensive valuations.

  • Time to Buy This Value Stock?

    By Lee Samaha - April 18, 2013 | Tickers: AMZN, BBBY, PIR, WSM

    Investing in stocks is a bit like a visit to an auction. Some people enjoy paying a premium for what is in fashion so they can sell it on to someone more excitable than themselves, others enjoy buying a quality item at a reasonable price, and there are those that enjoy buying anything because it’s cheap.

    And then there are those who kind of think something is fashionable, the more »

  • Debunking 3 Myths About This Retailer

    By Chad Henage - April 17, 2013 | Tickers: BBBY, PIR, TGT, WSM

    It's all too easy to buy into certain myths about companies. Years ago investors were being told that certain companies were “one decision stocks.” Companies like Avon, Polaroid, and Xerox, were part of this group that supposedly couldn't lose. Right before the dot.com bubble burst in 2000, investors were being told the P/E ratio didn't matter and that Internet companies would grow for years to more »

    By Sonam Chamaria - April 16, 2013 | Tickers: BBBY, HD, PIR

    Known for its financial stability, this company has, once again, reported some strong numbers in recent quarters, making it one of the better stocks out there. I'm talking about Bed Bath & Beyond (NASDAQ: BBBY), the home furnishings retailer that recently announced its fourth quarter results.

  • Housing Is Back! These Stocks Will Benefit from the Recovery

    By Brian Shaw - April 13, 2013 | Tickers: BBBY, FCX, PCL, WSM

    Housing is back. Housing starts have climbed to the highest levels in five years, inventory is low in many areas of the country, and continued low interest rates continue to persuade potential buyers to jump into the real estate fray. The painful memories of the past five years seem to be dissipating quickly, and homebuyers guides are declaring the end of the severe reduction in home prices and construction activity more »

  • The Upside for This Home Retailer

    By Marshall Hargrave - April 11, 2013 | Tickers: BBBY, PIR, WMS

    A few weeks back I took a look at the parallels between Best Buy and Circuit City, and although it's highly unlikely that Best Buy goes into bankruptcy, I think there are enough headwinds for the company that it remains a non-growth story for some time to come. However, what about the parallels between Bed Bath & Beyond (NASDAQ: BBBY) and Linens 'n Things?

  • Home Prices Will Bring This Industry Higher

    By Austin Higgins - April 10, 2013 | Tickers: BBBY, PIR, WSM

    Home values are rising in the U.S.  More houses are on the market and at higher prices. So, as the housing market improves, investors are looking for ways to capitalize on the growth.  Home builders and home lenders are an obvious choice, but there are other industries where growth opportunities exist. Consider home-goods' retailers like Williams-Sonoma (NYSE: WSM), Bed Bath & Beyond (NASDAQ: BBBY), and Pier 1 Imports (NYSE: PIRmore »)
