Saks, Inc. (SKS)

CAPS Rating:
**

The Company operates through Saks Fifth Avenue, Off Fifth, and Club Libby Lu stores. SFA stores are principally free-standing stores and offers distinctive luxury fashion apparel, shoes, accessories, jewelry, cosmetics and gifts.

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 members 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.

If you have to worry about the price of gas then don't worry about shopping here because you can't. Finally divested of all their department stores this company is on the right track. They bought back stock, paid off debt and updated their computer networks allowing each associate to be more product...More

Do customers at this retailer really feel the pinch of a recession? Same store sales up 22% in April. Outperform.

Nibbling like a catfish...





I did the math and >$60B in rebate checks go out. I wouldn't be surprised if nearly some single digit percentage of that goes to each retailer. That would do the trick.





Note I'm picking the stock now, not just before the next announcements. Expectations are everything, well, at least worth one thumb up. Never mind you I don't think it will happen. But if you buy into the above reasoning, then give it two thumbs up.

Saks clientel are , for the most part, recession proof. Maybe not "depression" proof but we are not in a depression (yet).

SKS got punished, but I like this retailer. I think it's good for a pop.

Beat this Stock

Clicking "Beat this Stock!" will bring you to a company with a higher rating than the one you're currently viewing.

Even though CAPS shows only one- to five-star rankings, behind the scenes, all companies in CAPS have a distinct numerical ranking. In other words, there is a No. 1 stock in CAPS and a worst-ranked stock in CAPS. When you arrive at the top-ranked stock, clicking "Beat this Stock!" will cause the page to refresh.

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