Shorting Winnebago, Realty Income: Not a Good Idea
<>I mentioned Winnebago (WGO) as a possible short. Their reports disclose a large potential liability (>$100MM) for repurchase of recreation vehicles. I asked investor relations whether that dollar amount was the total dollar amount of vehicles they could be required to repurchase, or if it was calculated as the maximum loss they could incur (repurchase price minus resale price) if forced to repurchase them? Turns out it is the former, which is not as bad. They only had $20,000 in losses from these repurchases in fiscal 2009. This is the type of trade I have to be careful about because I thin...

Traveling the Economic Landscape with Winnebago
In the wake of 2007’s credit freeze and 2008’s $4.00+ per gallon gasoline prices, we thought that Winnebago’s (WGO) filings yesterday (an annual report here and a proxy here) might be interesting. Winnebago, which manufactures the iconic “mobile dwellings” that lumber along America’s interstates, has indeed taken a financial hit. Yet the filings also contained some optimistic news that surprised us. <>Winnebago makes three classes of motor homes: The huge ones, Class A RVs that are branded either “Winnebago” or “Itasca”, can sell for as much as $312,000. Class B models, brande<><><><><><><>< /><><>< />< /><>< /><><>< /><>< /><>< /><>< /><>< />< />...

Winnebago rises on Q4 report
Filed under: Earnings reports Winnebago (NYSE: WGO) is up well over 8% at the time of this writing during afternoon trading. Yep, it's one of those stories: post a revenue decline and a loss and get rewarded. For the fourth quarter, sales dropped 30%, and the loss per share on an adjusted basis came in at 19 cents. The full-year picture was also rather dire. Sales plummeted over 60%, and the company lost an adjusted $1.28 per share. Just awful. How in the world can the market love these numbers?
