RadioShack Corp (NYSE:RSH)

There's nothing they sell or do that someone else does not do better. Maybe storefrontage sale...?

Still wedded to the cell phone business? Nothing fundamentally has changed to drive earnings in my opinion.

Anyone who buys this will be living in a shack.

It's very cheap for compared to it's value. It has fallen dramatically in the last couple years, but it found it's footing. With low debt and decent cash, I think they can bounce back to a key player. At this price it's a buy!

I think that Radio Shack has something that many don't. That is name recognition and a long track record; which goes to show they have been around the block. Hell not just around the block around the US. It might have gotten it's ass kicked during the last monster mash but its still here toting around it's comfy name and now they are joining like forces to reap the benefits of China's expanding middle class. Going after a market which is proving to be more fruitful then its homeland. It will fit in where it's going. The size of the store is perfect. I think it will do well on its prospects in China and will throw some speculations out the window which will be destroyed by the foot traffic that will be marching in and out of the there new store fronts.

i can not find what caused this recent spike, but either way who in the world still goes to radio shack??

didnt even know they still existed or whouldve red thumbed them long ago :(

On a slow boat to nowhere. EPS, ROE and margins are all sliding into oblivion. Dividend is unsustainable. Have you actually bought anything at Radio Shack lately?

RadioShack is worth more dead than alive. What I mean is has huge liability on the books from its realestate division in the form of the rent on the remaining years of its thousands of Stores. The Shack has already sold every shred of property it owned including the home office.
Bankruptcy is the best way for the Shack to renegotiate or exit all those leases. The lease on corporate headquarters I believe expire in few months. Perfect time to relocate after bankruptcy sale.

Amazon.com, Walmart and the rise of online shopping kills RadioShack...

I read all the positive comments on Radioshack and laugh every time because everyone talks about Radioshacks assets. I urge all of you to look into the "g.a.a.p" principles, particularly how it concerns valuation estimates. Book value is not real value if no one wants what you have. Then walk into radioshack and look for something you would actually want.

If this asset situation doesn't scare you away pay attention to the employees. Do they seem busy? Do they seem happy? Radioshack has treated some of the best employees like crap, forcing them to transfer stores for the same pay or less with this previously failed "Striker" program.

While paying the ceo millions of dollars a year to drive the company down.

unhappy employees=bad service/reduced repeat sales

If this doesn't scare you away, look at the long term business plan. Radioshack has been around for years without adapting. always selling small gadgets and electronics that you already had.

Did Radioshack even try to keep up with electronics? Did they not see smart phones exploding years ago?

Way past its prime, without a change in its business model, Radio Shack will not exist in 3 years.

Going, going ... gone. Radioshack's business model is broken.

selling for a tiny fraction of tangible book value

Cutting overhead in Dallas and starting Shack phone service and come to home or business repair service.

The price tag for the assets is cheaper than what those assets are worth.

If the dividend is only 0.125, that still amounts to a 4+% yield.

Combine that with the high short interest, and recent insider buying increases the odds this will rise. I'm looking for it to hit $3.65+/sh in a fairly short amount of time.

Lets see.

Retail stores are slowly getting killed by the internet. Yes there will always be a need for B&M stores but if you walk into a Radioshack you will really wonder how they have stayed in business for so long. 90% of the products they carry can be found at Best Buy.

I have worked on the side as a DJ for the last 8 years and there were always times where I would be missing a cable or connector which would require an emergency trip to Radioshack for a specific connector. I have been to very many Radioshacks and I will have to say that 99% of the employees that work there don't know a thing about the products they are selling and I will generally have to track down the item myself because nobody knows where to find it.

I've heard some people say that Radioshack can still make it as an authorized agent of cell companies. This I also have a problem with because in the 5 years that I have worked at T-Mobile, some of the biggest horror stories come from people that get their phones at a Radioshack. I've had so many customers that get lied to, cheated, taken advantage of, and when they go back to the Radioshack for help, they are told to just go our corporate locations for something they wrongfully told the customers.

I personally wouldn't buy one share of Radioshack stock and I can definitely see them going out of business within the next few years the same way Circuit City went out.

Walk into a Radioshack and you'll find nothing.
