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.

She bought into this about a year ago, and sold it a couple of quarters later. When they had those port strikes, the company was struggling with their margins. It is a lot easier to ship boxes of clothing and the supply chain, then it is with furniture. It turned quickly, in terms of the story. They announced new initiatives and a game plan. If there are signals that the story is not playing out, you should cut your losses and get out, which is what she did.
