TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly We reiterate our recommendation of RUTH as a TOP PICK. Recently reported earnings of $0.36 per share beat expectations by $0.12. Same store sales are back above pre-pandemic levels by 5%. It trades at 14x projected earnings, compared to peers at 21x. It has paid down $65 million in debt and holds over $80 million in reserve. We would buy this with a stop loss at $15.50, looking to achieve $28 -- upside potential over 24%. Yield 0% (Analysts’ price target is $27.63)

Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly We reiterate VLGEA as a TOP PICK. A recent acquisition via bankruptcy auction of a rival competitor has boosted its presence on the east coast. It trades at 17x earnings compared to peers at 21x and pays a very good dividend, backed by a payout ratio under 75% of cash flow and continues to grow cash reserves. We would buy this with a stop loss at $20, looking to achieve $30 --upside potential over 30%. Yield 4.42%

Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly We reiterate QCOM as a TOP PICK. The company is a proven leader in semiconductors and pays a good dividend backed by a payout ratio right around 33% of cashflow.

We would buy this with a stop-loss at $110, looking to achieve $182 -- upside potential of 35%. Yield 2.04% (Analysts’ price target is $181.95)

BUY ON WEAKNESS
Allan Tong’s Discover Picks Like all retailers including Target, Walmart faces the twin challenges of labour and supply shortages. These will eventually end, but will likely linger for for the rest of this year. Fruther, the tailwind of stimulus cheques from Washington has dried up. Then, there’s Amazon. The planet’s largest retailer plans to build brick-and-mortar stores. Though Walmart’s e-commerce service and numbers are improving, Amazon remains the online king and their move into Main Street poses a serious threat to Walmart as well as Target. However, let’s temper that by remembering that Amazon will open stores of less than a third of the floor space of Walmart’s and will open shops only in California and Ohio. Meanwhile, Walmart operates 11,500 locations in 28 countries. Also, there’s no guarantee that Amazon stores will thrive. Read Battle of 2 Retail Stocks: Target vs. Walmart for our full analysis.
