Arhaus Moves From “Nice” List to Buy List 

Thomas Hughes

We highlighted Arhaus (NASDAQ: ARHS) a few weeks ago as a recently IPOd stock that deserved a spot on your nice list. The company operates as a higher-end retailer of home furnishings and decor and its business appears to be well-supported.

We’ve been waiting to see a short-squeeze in RH (NYSE: RH) since the last earnings report and low and beyond it is finally here. The stock is up more than 9% on a strong earnings report but there is a caveat for traders.

Thomas Hughes

It was only a few weeks ago that we called out Solo Brands (NYSE: DTC) as a recent IPO that looked good to buy in December. After perusing the Q3 earnings report that time could be now.

Are Insiders Selling Shares Of Hormel? 

Thomas Hughes

Insiders have been selling shares of Hormel (NYSE: HRL) this year but there are several factors in play that make the news meaningless. To start, insiders only own about 0.8% of the company and sales are a mere drop in the bucket in terms of market cap and share count.

This Is Why You Gotta Love The Lovesac Company 

Thomas Hughes

The Lovesac Company (NASDAQ: LOVE) is a story-within-a-story that we see accelerating its hyper-growth over the course of the next year. Not only is the furniture industry benefiting from strong tailwinds put in place by the pandemic but it is a growing concern within the industry.

Undervalued Thor Industries Hammers Out Heavenly Quarter 

Thomas Hughes

Thor Industries (NYSE: THO) has been one of our favorite post-pandemic stories and a market we think is gearing up for another run higher. The company has been working hard on organic and acquisitional growth that are both supported by strong secular trends within the industry.

The Short-Squeeze In Dave & Buster’s Is On

Thomas Hughes

We’ve had our eye on Dave & Buster’s (NASDAQ: PLAY) as a recovery play for some time and that thesis is playing out nicely. While the price action has been volatile short-selling and tax-loss selling are mostly to blame because the results have been fantastic.

Pay Attention To Microcap Oil-Dri Corporation 

Thomas Hughes

Oil-Dri Corporation (NYSE: ODC) is not a big company but it is representative of an issue that has been and is still plaguing the global supply chain. The company manufactures sorbent mineral materials, things like kitty litter and similar items for industrial purposes, and it is reeling under the pressures of inflation.

Casey’s General Stores, Inc (NASDAQ: CASY) is a solid post-pandemic play and steady growth story and nothing has changed about that. If anything, Casey’s is growing a wee bit faster than expected but there is a problem, at least a small one.

It’s Not Insider Selling Or Results That Made Stitch Fix Tank

Thomas Hughes

Although there has been some notable insider selling in Stitch Fix (NYSE: SFIX) that’s not why shares are down 20% in premarket trading and it’s not the Q3 results either. Not, it’s the guidance for the 2nd quarter that has shares down in the dumper but we see an opportunity brewing.

MongoDB Resumes Uptrend, Analyst Raise Targets 

Thomas Hughes

We were expecting MongoDB (NASDAQ: MDB) to produce a good report simply because the adoption of tech is going so strongly. What we were not expecting is for revenue and earnings to accelerate as fast as they did, or for the company to raise guidance for the year.

This year has been a busy one for IPOs and the activity is staying strong right through the end of the year. Often times the best time to buy a newly IPOd stock is after the initial quiet period ends and that is no different with the three we have today.

What Went Wrong With Draft Kings Stock Price? 

Thomas Hughes

While the underlying investment in Draft Kings (NASDAQ: DKNG) remains sound there are a number of headwinds holding back share prices. The headwinds start with the stock’s valuation and end with short-seller Jim Chanos. In between are a number of issues that have combined to make a perfect storm for this stock.

Institutions Are Buying Genesco 

Thomas Hughes

Insiders have been selling shares of Genesco (NYSE: GCO) but it’s not a problem for the market. Not only are the sales small but they are spread among several insiders primarily directors. In addition, most of the sales were earlier in the year and offset by a single purchase.

Newly formed Dole plc (NYSE: DOLE) is having a tough time with systemic headwinds. The company, now merged with Total Produce, is a global supplier of fresh fruits and vegetables and is exposed to labor, freight, and input cost inflation like no other company we’ve seen.

Chewy.com Is A Hot Buy At These Levels

Shares of Chewy, Inc (NYSE: CHWY) are down 5.0% in the wake of a major downgrade. The downgrade comes from Wedbush who lowered the stock to Neutral from Outperform citing churn within the business. Not only are the comps going to be tough on a YOY basis but Wedbush analyst Seth Basham thinks net new growth will be weak as well.

Thomas Hughes

Shares of Hibbett, Inc (NASDAQ: HIBB) attracted quite a crowd of short-sellers over the last quarter due to rising fears of supply chain disruption and inflation. Those fears have the short interest up to nearly 20% which we view as extreme.

Thomas Hughes

Shares of Big Lots (NYSE: BIG) are down nearly 40% from their post-COVID highs and might be heading lower. The reason is not because of insider selling but, more to the point, mounting headwinds that threaten to curb growth, among other things.
