J.C. Penney Company, Inc. (JCP)

CAPS Rating:

The Company sells family apparel, jewelry, shoes, accessories and home furnishings to customers through department stores and Direct (Internet/catalog).

Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other players to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

Oversold. Undervalued. Top investors like Carl Icahn & Warren Buffett like this company and believe they're buying the stock. Think insiders are buying as well. Need to do more research on this one. But going to buy this as a long-term hold.

Recs 1 (JCP) TMFSarahGen (99.79) Submitted: 5/07/08 2:29 PM : Start Price: $44.28 JCP Score: -2.36 JCP is a quality retailer selling less expensive merchandise, just what we need in these tough times. Doesn't hurt that the International Council of Shopping Centers said that April was better than March and that the anchor stores in particular did better. Go JCP!

Recs 0 (JCP) cindistic (30.13) Submitted: 4/13/08 8:39 PM : Start Price: $38.36 JCP Score: -7.09 Most everyone I talk to has mentioned that they are shopping here less and not only because the quality of the merchandise is lower than ever but the stores seem to be in a constant state of disarray. I wish J C Penney would wake up before it is too late but I think it may already be. Putting money here would not be wise. Report this Post Replies: 0 \| Reply \| Permalink Oops!

Recs 0 (JCP) bsponcil86 (< 20) Submitted: 4/11/08 11:49 AM : Start Price: $38.92 JCP Score: 7.11 Given the looming recession retail stocks have been hammered and will continue to suffer throughout most of 2008. However, one has to believe recovery is in the future and therefore I'm going with one of the old guards in retail. The stock is currently off 50% from its 12 month high but dividends continue to flow to shareholders. What's more they've recently release a new Ralph Lauren line of clothing that I expect will be successful. It's a contrarian pick, but I think down the road I'll be happy with the performance.

That is, until there is a new No. 1 stock!
