Allan Tong’s Discover Picks Since March 18, two analysts initiated buys while two others maintained their buy signals on WSM stock. Only three of them offered stock price targets, which averaged $204, which is far above the consensus of $164.25. WSM stock is another weak buy drawn from seven analyst buys, eight holds and one sell, but at $168 the stock continues to trade above its 50-day moving average of $160.25 and 200-day of $123.24. Another plus in WSM stock’s favour is its 20.3x PE which is cheap compared to the industry’s 31.5x. Margins also outpace the competition. For example, WSM stock’s profit margin is 10.04% vs. its peers’ 8.3%. WSM stock pays only a 1.39% dividend, but at a safe 24% payout ratio.

Late-August they reported a strong quarter--margin growth and earnings and didn't touch their earnings forecast. It's maintained those gains is up 24% for the year.

Has done a really good job of building sales on the Internet. As the housing market continues to rebound in the US, this company has a very high-end brand. They get about 50% of sales from e-commerce, and have no debt. It is probably going to be a dogfight over this upcoming holiday season, but at current value, he still thinks it is attractive for the long-term. Dividend yield of 3%. (Analysts’ price target is $49.)
