  • 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 Leo Sun - March 28, 2013 | Tickers: NILE, SIG, TIF

    It’s tough being a jeweler these days. Raising prices to stay in sync with commodity prices and customer demand is a challenging balancing act that only some of the strongest names in the industry - such as Tiffany (NYSE: TIF), Signet (NYSE: SIG) and Blue Nile (NASDAQ: NILE) - have pulled off with any degree of regularity.

    By Tedra DeSue - March 28, 2013 | Tickers: COH, MOV, TIF

    When the Movado Group (NYSE: MOV) released its fiscal fourth quarter earnings results in recent days, the numbers indicated that the company, known for the iconic dot on its time pieces, had a strong quarter.
