Sears Holdings Corp (SHLD)

CAPS Rating:

The Company is a broadline retailer. It currently conducts its operations in three business segments: Kmart, Sears Domestic and Sears Canada.

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.

Eddie Lampert uses a value based philosophy. His hedge funds required a 5 year commitment because it often takes a few years for the investments to reach their value.

I also like that he is trying to make the retail part work. Too many people felt he was going to use the cash and real estate to ma...More

Eddie is great, but SHLD is not. Terrible inventory control. Prices are higher then Target and Kohls, but stores are much uglier and sloppier. Also lacking Costco's warehouse atmosphere.

Eddie's a real bright guy and I ag...More

Recs 0 (SHLD) MarionContrarian (55.50) Submitted: 5/16/08 3:34 AM : Start Price: $97.08 SHLD Score: 2.15 I've been trying to make the best of my current Sears "holding" by selling calls against my position (volatility in the 40% range). Sears will underperform the S&P through the summer months as the consumer digs in for further economic pressurest (e.g., stagnant wages, falling home prices/tapped equity, persistent food and energy pressures). While SHLD "might" get some benefit from the "stimulus checks" that are being doled out, any gains will be short-lived. And the real esate play? Not anytime soon - wait until it comes out on TV. With the stock capped by its declining 100 day moving average, I believe that SHLD will see 85 before it sees 105. Report this Post Replies: 0 \| Reply \| Permalink Oops!

It will come back. Report this Post Replies: 0 \| Reply \| Permalink Oops! There appears to be a problem with your comment. Check to see if there's something you left out. Recs 0 (SHLD) chitownjester (82.18) Submitted: 5/14/08 3:40 PM : Start Price: $94.66 SHLD Score: -0.81 ESL will not let this one slip. Company will either turn around or be liquidated, land sold and brands marketed through other channels (other retail or online). Situation has been compared to Berkshire when Buffett bought it- company made good stuff, had great employees but simply could no longer compete (in the case of Berkshire low cost overseas competitors, in the case of SHLD a perception as your Dad's retailer and not as hip as a BBY or HD). SHLD let the big box boys pull the carpet right out from under them just like Montgomery Ward. What I think you will see though is that this thing has a market cap far lower than the value of just the land holdings, let along the brands. Report this Post Replies: 0 \| Reply \| Permalink Oops!
