Nordstrom Inc (JWN-N)

Last August they reported a huge bottom line beat, but management reiterated guidance. 

A great company, one of the leading retailers out there. Very good e-commerce platform. Growing sales. But they are going through a high investment cycle. They traditionally trade at around a 15X forward multiple of earnings, and now are close to 20 or 21 times, so they are on the expensive side.

When you compare this one to its peers, it is an outperformer, one of the few. Retail is a difficult space right now, so if you had to pick one, this would probably be the place to go. The trend is up.

(Market Call Minute.) Higher end retail should be okay in the US economy.

Likes the major US retailers like this one. Stock is very, very strong. But his “go to” name in that retail space would be Macys (M-N) that has a much better valuation, cheaper peg ratio and better growth
