BUY ON WEAKNESS

Today it reported a solid top and bottom line beat, but shares fell when the CEO warned of a serious tariff hit this quarter. That was a foolish dip.

DON'T BUY

They face Trump tariffs on imported furniture AND more tariffs on overseas good. The CEO says it can't make some of its furniture in the US.

The stock go ahead of itself after its quarter last week, but he didn't mind the quarter. It's a digital first company doing a lot of things right. A fine CEO. Cheap at 18x PE.

BUY

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.

BUY
Don't fear a shutdown, but a slowdown due to the new Omicron variant. A winner according to the home-as-office thesis. It also enjoy a B2B kicker. It's cheapest stock in its group.
BUY
Another retail winner. It delivered a very strong quarter last night with good e-commerce.
BUY
It shouldn't be going down, because it's gone up 48%, so investors are taking profits. A great stock.
BUY
In the retail space. Seeing some tailwind from the housing growth in US and Canada. People are buying more stuff for their houses right now. There are more and more houses that are selling from supply coming to market and people want to buy things to fill it.
WEAK BUY
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.

HOLD
Don't sell. Hold this. It moves in fits and starts: marks time, declines a little, reports a great quarter, then rallies. The CEO is great.
BUY
Will benefit as people return to the malls. They have a thriving e-commerce trade, too. Another tailwind is the home improvement boom (riding the housing) boom as the economy reopens.
