The Panic-Proof Portfolio (Stockchase Research) BJ's Wholesale Club BJ-N TOP PICK Dec 31, 2020

Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly BJ is a wholesale membership club that trades at about half the PE of WMT, at only 14x earnings. We think this space still has legs as we head into the new year. EPS grew by 31% this year, providing a PEG ratio of only 0.66 -- excellent value. We would buy this with a stop-loss of $24, looking to achieve over $51 -- over 33% upside potential. Yield 0% (Analysts’ price target is $51.37)

WEAK BUY
An inexpensive Costco and does very well. You can but it here. But he prefers Costco and he owns that.
DON'T BUY

Likes it as is cheaper than Costco at 21x PE, but it deserves to be cheaper, because Costco is the better company.
