Filed under: Earnings reports, Bad news, Newsletters, Sears Holdings (SHLD), Stocks to Sell  Do corporate management teams and board of directors manipulate stock prices?
You bet they do. Despite being charged to act in the best interest of shareholders, those running publicly traded companies will often go to extremes to convince the market of value that may or may not be there. <>We all remember the stories of the accounting games that were used to feed the Wall Street beat-the-estimate game. In the days of the crazy bull market, beating the number would be rewarded with huge gains in stock val...

IMHO, as of 6:20 am 9/8/2008, by the valuation numbers only, relative to its industry, SHLD is overvalued: SHLD's projected P/E is 47.2x while its industry (Department Stores) is averaging a projected P/E of 21.0x, implying a projected stock price of $40.40. SHLD's projected earnings growth rate is 12.33% and its PEG is 3.83 while the industry average PEG is 1.82, implying a projected stock price of $43.09. Here are the analysis details: http://www.freestockvalueranker.com/?under_over=-1&method... Why is this stock so overvalued?

The results for Sears’ (SHLD) second fiscal quarter are now out and, for most people, they are not very pretty. Year over year sales declines, net income down, lowered guidance. These things are, in essence, death to any retailer, or any publicly traded corporation for that matter. Here are some headlines I read this morning:

When management with a reputation for brilliance tackles a business with a reputation for poor fundamental economics, it's the reputation of the business that remains intact.
- Warren Buffett
Eddie Lampert has a simple strategy when it comes to investing: Buy a large portion of stock in a particular company in which he can influence the management, cut expenses at the company and use the money to buy back stocks. He has been successful so far. Autozone (AZO) is a great example.

Numbers Check on Sears Holdings - It's Cheap
SHLD
+21.12%
in
45 days
(closed on 08/31/08)
With its market price declining daily, giving me the opportunity to pick up even more shares, I thought I’d present a very rough look at how the market is valuing Sears Holdings (SHLD) right now, putting reasonable numbers to a rather abstract investment idea. <>Reality check number 1: In normal times, Sears is generating a good $50 billion in sales. $50B. The current market value hovers around $10B, or one fifth of sales. Add in net debt ($2.7B in LT debt and capital lease obligations plus a $1.1B pension shortfall) and subtract cash ($1.4B), enterprise value goes up to about $12.5B. Is ...

Sears Remains a Compelling Short

Sears Holdings (SHLD), the fourth largest broadline retailer in the US, recently reported a net loss of $56 million, or $0.43 loss per share in Q1 2008 versus net income of $223 million in Q1 of 2007. Total US same-store sales declined 8.6%. <> Sears attributed this decline to several reasons: 1. Increasing competition. 2. Weakness in the general economy and housing market. 3. Increased costs in consumer staples such as food and gas. Interim CEO Bruce Johnson said, "Our first quarter results reflect the difficult economic environment and intense competition for consumer business." Following th...

Sears in Trouble Over Short-Term, But Looks Solid Over Long-Term

5/29 - "Now the hysterical folks out there will screaming about a loss that ought not be all that surprising. Those of us who invest in the business, look at the balance sheet and cash position and recognize those are a solid as ever. As a mater of fact, when compared to competitors JC Penny (JCP), Kohl's (KSS), Macy's (M) and even Home Depot (HD), Sears has by far the strongest balance sheet. It also is the largest appliance retailer by FAR. Since that category currently is being hit very hard by housing, it only stands to reason that they will suffer more than the others. "

5/29 - "Another quarter in the books for Sears Holdings (SHLD), and another lackluster effort on the retail front. These days it seems hopes for profit come only from the Holdings rather than the Sears as Hedge Fund manager turned executive Ed Lampert has been unable to turn around the retail division with any amount of success in recent quarters...Sears posted a net loss of $56Million ($0.43/share). On the top line, Revenue fell almost 6% to $11.07Billion."

<>Last week saw a good deal of action in the markets. The bad news is that even as we were excited to enter the long weekend and the Hamptons are starting to see more life and less clothes (so I am told). The bad news is starting to sink-in and the simple fact that the oil price “blip” is not such a “blip” is upsetting investors. If that wasn’t bad enough, the weekend BBQ now costs a gonsa-fortune! We stopped on the side of the road to pick up some watermelon and were shocked when we realized that it was $9 for ONE!

Ackman May Be Active, But Not at Sears

(closed on 06/26/08)
With the news that Target (TGT) has agreed to sell $3.6 billion worth
of credit card receivables to JP Morgan (JPM), one cannot help but
notice Ackman has not made a single demand from Edward Lampert at Sears
holdings (SHLD). This would be the only investment in memory he has
taken such a stance.<!--more--> <>
Ackman was at Sears' annual meeting and did ask a few benign questions. According to Ackman, his 5 million share investment in Sears "is due to Eddie Lampert".
Nowsome will say that Ackman has been quiet because "he knows Lampert" orsome such foolishness. Let's be honest, you do not i...
