Investment Thesis

Many companies in the apparel industry faced depressed operating margins in the last couple of years due to rapidly changing technology, general economic conditions, and consumer spending preferences. Companies started to focus on business expansions through acquisitions, closing down less performing business segments and higher promotional activities in order to remain competitive in the business. These initiatives accelerate the operating expenses at the cost of reduced profitability.

Perry Ellis International (NasdaqGS: PERY) is one of such companies that also observed a challenging business environment in last few years. The stock of the company behaved in line with the business of the company, as it should be, and observed a great deal of volatility in last few years. The latest calendar year proved to be a healthy one for the stock, particularly from the start of the November, because of the better-than-expected financial results for the third quarter of the fiscal year 2017. The stock has appreciated over 35% in value since last one year. The expectations for the fourth quarter results are even better due to the shopping season in the last month of the calendar year. Additionally, the double-digit growth in earnings is expected to continue in the fiscal-year 2018 along with improving the financial position of the company. The risk/reward trade-off is looking to be in favor of investors going forward due to the PERY's cheaper valuations as compared to the industry averages. The stock of the company is undervalued and offers an upside potential of above 30% to achieve its target price in the range of $33 to $35 in the next 6-to-12 month investment horizon.

Hot Undervalued Stocks To Own For 2019: Palo Alto Networks, Inc.(PANW)

Advisors' Opinion:

• [By Harsh Chauhan]

  Check Point Software Technologies (NASDAQ:CHKP) had a great July. The cybersecurity specialist was propped up by an analyst upgrade and a second-quarter earnings beat, and news that it is going to double its share repurchase program also boosted investor confidence. But a closer look at how the company has been performing over the past few quarters makes it clear that it is not getting its priorities right, and could end up a laggard in the cybersecurity market compared to the likes of Palo Alto Networks (NYSE:PANW).
