The past year hasn’t been kind to the stocks featured in this article. Each has tumbled to its lowest point in 12 months, leaving investors to decide whether they’re witnessing fire sales or falling knives.
Price charts only tell part of the story. Our team at StockStory evaluates each company’s underlying fundamentals to separate temporary setbacks from structural declines. That said, here is one stock poised to prove the bears wrong and two facing legitimate challenges.
Two Stocks to Sell:
Lowe's (LOW)
One-Month Return: -9.9%
Founded in North Carolina as Lowe's North Wilkesboro Hardware, the company is a home improvement retailer that sells everything from paint to tools to building materials.
Why Are We Wary of LOW?
- Sales tumbled by 1% annually over the last three years, showing consumer trends are working against it
- Lagging same-store sales over the past two years suggest it might have to change its pricing and marketing strategy to stimulate demand
- Commoditized inventory, bad unit economics, and high competition are reflected in its low gross margin of 33.2%
Lowe’s stock price of $194.39 implies a valuation ratio of 15.5x forward P/E. Read our free research report to see why you should think twice about including LOW in your portfolio.
Camping World (CWH)
One-Month Return: -10.7%
Founded in 1966 as a single recreational vehicle (RV) dealership, Camping World (NYSE: CWH) still sells RVs along with boats and general merchandise for outdoor activities.
Why Do We Pass on CWH?
- Poor same-store sales performance over the past two years indicates it’s having trouble bringing new shoppers into its brick-and-mortar locations
- Earnings per share decreased by more than its revenue over the last three years, partly because it diluted shareholders
- 8× net-debt-to-EBITDA ratio makes lenders less willing to extend additional capital, potentially necessitating dilutive equity offerings
At $5.56 per share, Camping World trades at 8.5x forward P/E. Check out our free in-depth research report to learn more about why CWH doesn’t pass our bar.
One Stock to Buy:
OSI Systems (OSIS)
One-Month Return: -12.3%
With security scanners deployed at airports and borders worldwide and patient monitors used in hospitals across the globe, OSI Systems (NASDAQ: OSIS) designs and manufactures specialized electronic systems for security screening, patient monitoring, and optoelectronic applications.
Why Will OSIS Outperform?
- Annual revenue growth of 9.3% over the past five years was outstanding, reflecting market share gains this cycle
- Share buybacks catapulted its annual earnings per share growth to 14.3%, which outperformed its revenue gains over the last five years
- Free cash flow margin grew by 20.4 percentage points over the last five years, giving the company more chips to play with
OSI Systems is trading at $201.68 per share, or 17.8x forward P/E. Is now the time to initiate a position? See for yourself in our full research report, it’s free.
