  • The Gatsby Portfolio

    By Delian Naydenov - May 21, 2013 | Tickers: DEO, GM, RL

    Introduction

    I saw The Great Gatsby over the weekend and while I think the movie was too slow and the narrator, Nick Carraway, was not played well by Tobey Maguire, I was inspired enough to write about it. Three companies that could provide Jay Gatsby with the essentials for his lavish lifestyle include General Motors (NYSE: GM), Ralph Lauren (NYSE: RL), and Diageo (NYSE: DEO). If Gatsby was alive today more »

  • High Growth Projections, But a Bit Unrealistic

    By Matthew Frankel - May 20, 2013 | Tickers: KORS, RL, JNY

    Ralph Lauren (NYSE: RL) is one of the leading fashion brands, and has been for some time now.  Even with its success, the company still manages to grow its revenues at a fairly rapid pace, with annual sales nearly tripling from $2.4 billion a decade ago to almost $6.9 billion last year. What I’m curious about is whether all of the potential growth and good news is more »

    By Marshall Hargrave - May 2, 2013 | Tickers: COH, FOSL, RL, TIF

    Coach (NYSE: COH) skyrocketed earlier this week after announcing better-than-expected earnings; the stock is now up nearly 10% over the past week. The accessory and handbag company managed to post fiscal 3Q earnings results of $0.84 per share, up from $0.77 a year ago, and beating consensus of $0.81. 

    Question is, is luxury retail back in favor, or is this another head fake by Coach? Coach is more »

  • Watch Out for This Growth Story

    By Shas Dey - April 22, 2013 | Tickers: FOSL, KORS, PVH, RL

    Citigroup analysts said that the global watch industry will generate more than $60 billion in sales in 2013. The industry is highly fragmented but dominated by a few players. There is a strong competition between companies like Fossil (NASDAQ: FOSL), PVH Corp (NYSE: PVH) and Ralph Lauren Corp (NYSE: RL).

    By AnnaLisa Kraft - April 15, 2013 | Tickers: COH, FNP, KORS, RL

    Few authors better described the ultra rich than F. Scott Fitzgerald in "The Great Gatsby." Today, one fashion retailer embodies self-made Jay Gatsby in real life and his business: Ralph Lauren. His eponymous company Ralph Lauren (NYSE: RL) has created an almost voyeuristic lifestyle brand with images of East Coast mansions, beautifully idle models, and an old-money fashion signature.

  • A High Quality Company on Sale

    By Andrés Cardenal - April 10, 2013 | Tickers: COH, KORS, RL, TIF

    It hasn´t been a great year for Coach (NYSE: COH), the company has reported uninspiring numbers over the last quarters, and the stock has fallen by more than 30% over the last year. But the long term fundamentals are still intact, and the shares are trading at compellingly low valuations, so Coach looks like an opportunity to grab a high quality company from the bargain bin.

    By Marshall Hargrave - April 3, 2013 | Tickers: PVH, RL, JNY, VFC

    After beating earnings last quarter, PVH Corp's (NYSE: PVH) stock still managed to take a sizable hit. The stock is down as much as 5% since last week. Last quarterly results showed a 35% increase in earnings year over year, and posted EPS of $1.60 per share, beating consensus of $1.50, so what's the big deal?

    By Aubrey Tabuga - April 1, 2013 | Tickers: GPS, MON, RL, QCOM

    Value investors can get some great ideas from a hedge fund as successful as Stephen Mandel’s Lone Pine Capital. From its inception in 1997 with only a mere $8 million, Lone Pine Capital has turned into a giant fund that now has $15.9 billion in assets under management. What is outstanding about this fund is its consistent lead by over 20% against the S&P 500 index since more »

The New York-based parent company of Tommy Hilfiger, Calvin Klein, Van Heusen, and Bass has slumped over 12% in the last four weeks, despite posting robust earnings on March 28. Analysts and investors are worried that PVH’s soft outlook for the next quarter and fiscal year point to acquisition digestion problems with its recent Warnaco more »

    Nike (NYSE: NKE), creator of the “Just do it” brand, owner of “Swoosh” logo and sponsor of many high profile sportsmen and teams, just checked all the right boxes to be an investment-worthy stock.

  • ULTA is Set to Soar

    By Joseph Solitro - March 25, 2013 | Tickers: RL, SBH, ULTA

    ULTA Salon, Cosmetics, & Fragrance (NASDAQ: ULTA) is America's largest beauty retailer, but has not been treated like the powerhouse that it is lately. The company has faced two steep declines since Feb. 13  following its CEO stepping down and disappointing guidance. The stock had fallen 25.6% at one point, but has rallied nearly 5% since, and I do not think the rally is close to being over.

  • Massive Growth Is Always in Fashion

    By Chad Henage - March 25, 2013 | Tickers: FOSL, KORS, PVH, RL

    To say that Michael Kors (NYSE: KORS) has been an impressive growth story is an understatement. The company's growth has been nothing short of meteoric. In the current quarter, the company proved doubters wrong again reporting huge growth across the board. To me the only question left is, how long can this continue?
