    Express Stock Could Have a Lot Further to Fall, so Don’t Buy the Dip

    Shares of Express (NYSE:EXPR) dropped on Wednesday, March13, after the mall apparel retailer reported fourth quarter numbers which largely missed estimates, while delivering a first quarter guide which widely missed estimates. Broadly speaking, there wasn't much good in the fourth quarter earnings report. Investors immediately recognized that. Express stock dropped more than 15% in early Wednesday morning trade.Source: Mike Mozart via FlickrBut, Express stock has since rebounded. As of this writing, EXPR is down just 6% in Wednesday afternoon trade, and has rallied 10% since the open.The ostensible implication is that the post-earnings sell-off in Express was overdone. The stock got way too cheap for its own good, and quickly rebounded. But, will this rebound continue?InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice & Trading TipsI'm not convinced. I love to buy the dips in fundamentally undervalued and technically oversold stocks. But, there is a significant and increasing lack of clarity when it comes to the long term Express growth narrative, and that lack of clarity is coupling with continued weak numbers to erode the long term bull thesis on Express stock.As such, it's tough to say with any certainty that Express stock is fundamentally undervalued here. * 7 Small-Cap Stocks That Make the Grade So long as that remains true, Express stock will have a tough time rebounding. That's not to say it won't rebound. It might. All you need is one good quarter to light a fire under this stock. But, waiting for that one good quarter is a big risk, and as a risk-adverse investor, I'm more comfortable sitting on the sidelines with this name. The Numbers Aren't GoodBroadly speaking, the numbers at Express just aren't good.Comparable sales growth is negative. Comps came in at down 6% in the quarter, versus the consensus estimate for a 3.3% drop. Worse yet, it's not like this negative comp is the result of a bad retail environment.Urban Outfitters (NASDAQ:URBN) reported a 3% comp in the overlapping period. American Eagle Outfitters (NYSE:AEO) recorded a 6% comp. Abercrombie & Fitch (NYSE:ANF) had a 3% comp quarter, while Tilly's (NYSE:TLYS) said holiday comps rose nearly 6%.In other words, negative comps at Express is an Express-specific problem. That's not good. It gives credence to the theory that, as the traditional retail world is shrinking and giving way to the ecommerce world, consumers are increasingly passing up on shopping at Express. Long term, if this continues, that creates a pathway for Express to the retail graveyard.In other bad news, ecommerce sales growth slowed sharply to 5% in the fourth quarter, down from what was a streak for 20%-plus and 30%-plus digital sales growth quarters. Merchandise margins fell back 150 basis points due to promotional activity. The SG&A rate keeps going up against falling sales.Occupancy costs are rising, too. Cash on the balance sheet in falling. Meanwhile, the first quarter guide calls for a 10% drop in comparable sales and for profits to swing from a narrow gain in the year ago quarter, to a wide loss this quarter.Overall, there wasn't much, if any, good in the Q4 earnings report. That's not to say that a turnaround isn't in the cards. But, it is to say that a turnaround looks increasingly unlikely, especially considering most other mall retailers are bouncing back, and Express is not. Long Term Value Is ElusiveBecause the numbers have been bad for so long and continue to be bad in an environment that is largely favorable for retailers (healthy economy, healthy consumer confidence, low unemployment, big wage gains, so on and so forth), the long term value behind EXPR stock is elusive.On one hand, this is a company which could miraculously leverage celebrity endorsements, real estate optimization, and reinvigorated ecommerce growth to drive a big turnaround in sales and margins. In that scenario, Express could realistically net $0.50 in EPS within the next several years, making today's $5 price tag seem rather anemic, especially considering about half the current market cap is covered by cash on the balance sheet.On the other hand, sales may not turnaround anytime soon. Margins may keep falling, and expense rates may keep rising. If so, EPS will likely be stuck in the $0.25 range for the foreseeable future, making today's $5 price tag actually seem steep, especially considering that the big cash balance is only going down (cash and equivalents have been chopped in half over the past several years).At this point in time, it's unclear which one of those scenarios will come true. If anything, the bear thesis has more merit than the bull thesis given the Q4 numbers. As such, Express stock isn't worth the risk here. Bottom Line on Express StockWith really beaten up retail stocks like Express, all you need is one good quarter to light a fire under the stock and spark a huge rally. But, investors have been waiting for that quarter from Express for a long time. Most signs indicate this wait won't be over anytime soon. That's why I'm more comfortable on the sidelines when it comes to EXPR.As of this writing, Luke Lango was long URBN and TLYS.

    5 Top Stock Trades for Thursday: Aurora Cannabis, Roku, Rite Aid

    Another robust trading session has the S&P 500 threatening to run higher, especially if the index can stay over this ~2,800 level. That said, there were some big movers in both directions today, so let's get a look at our top stock trades moving forward. Top Stock Trades for Tomorrow 1: Aurora CannabisShares of Aurora Cannabis (NYSE:ACB) were flying higher Wednesday, up almost 13% after it was announced that Nelson Peltz would be an advisor to the company. It thrust the stock over resistance near $8.InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice & Trading Tips * 7 Retail Stocks Winning in 2019 and Beyond This mark had kept a lid on ACB over the last five months and as it gives way, there's a lot of potential upside. Don't forget, in October ACB was trading north of $10 while its 52-week high is $12.52.Below $8 and there's cause for concern among bulls. I would not be long this name below the 21-day moving average or uptrend support. Top Stock Trades for Tomorrow 2: RokuIn the opposite direction we have Roku (NASDAQ:ROKU). This stud is still up 100% so far on the year, but a pair of downgrades on Wednesday morning knocked it down by $10 a share. Sheesh!Clearly this doesn't change Roku's fundamental outlook, but the declines likely ushered in profit takers who have been long this stock for its post-earnings run. Now I need to see uptrend support hold and I want to see Roku stock close above the 21-day moving average.If that's the case, bulls may have a case to be long, but it wouldn't be bad for Roku stock to digest some of this big move. A test of this $58 area would allow ROKU to retrace about 50% of its day-one earnings rally. Also worth pointing out is that Roku stock, at its lows on Wednesday, sat at the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement from its post-earnings range. See if it holds Wednesday's low and reclaims the 21-day. Top Stock Trades for Tomorrow 3: Rite AidWhat have we always said here on InvestorPlace? Do. Not. Invest. In. Rite Aid (NYSE:RAD)!There's a reason why as this name is volatile and circling the drain. Long or short can get both investors hurt and that's why it's been a no-touch for me for a long time. Notice on the chart that the stock couldn't even get above $1 back in January.An eventual delisting is likely and even today, RAD couldn't hold its gains. I expect this one to take out 65 cents and if it does, it will likely go below its 52-week low at 60 cents. I'm not shorting, but I'm definitely not buying it. Top Stock Trades for Tomorrow 4: ExpressAnother struggler, investors had a warning in Express (NYSE:EXPR) before Wednesday's 10.5% post-earnings fall.Notice the purple arrows on the chart. Arrow No. 1 told investors that support near $5.08 was no longer in play. Arrow No. 2 showed that the retest of support failed, just before earnings. Even if it had barely reclaimed support, the pre-earnings breakdown was warning enough with a name like this.Now sub-$5 and I find little reason to stick with EXPR. Expect rallies to be met with sellers until the tide changes. Top Stock Trades for Tomorrow 5: PayPalAfter breaching $100, PayPal (NASDAQ:PYPL) stock is pulling back. It's clear that momentum is bullish in PYPL and that makes it a solid buy-the-dip candidate. * 15 Stocks Sitting on Huge Piles of Cash It's totally possible that we get more upside follow through above $100 on Thursday. Particularly given that shares are not yet overbought. However, I'll be looking for an eventual pullback into uptrend support and the 21-day moving average. If we get it, bulls have a great risk/reward setup.Bret Kenwell is the manager and author of Future Blue Chips and is on Twitter @BretKenwell. As of this writing, Bret Kenwell is long ROKU.

    Express Earnings: EXPR Stock Sinks on Disappointing Q4

    Express earnings for the fourth quarter of the year have EXPR stock falling on Wednesday.Source: Mike Mozart via FlickrThe bad news for EXPR stock has to do with Express' (NYSE:EXPR) revenue of $628.43 million for the fourth quarter of 2018. This is a drop from the company's revenue of $699.68 million from the same time last year. It also comes in below Wall Street's revenue estimate of $629.63 million for the quarter.Express earnings for the fourth quarter of 2018 also include earnings per share of 19 cents. This is down from the company's earnings per share of 37 cents from the fourth quarter of 2017. It also comes in above analysts' earnings per share estimate of 16 cents for the period, but wasn't able to keep EXPR stock from falling today.InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice & Trading TipsExpress also includes its outlook for the first quarter of 2019 in its most recent earnings report. The company notes that it is expecting losses per share between 27 cents and 34 cents during the quarter. This is horrible news for EXPR stock as Wall Street is looking for losses per share of 4 cents for the company's first quarter of the year. * 15 Stocks Sitting on Huge Piles of Cash "Despite our fourth quarter results being in line with the guidance we provided on November 29, 2018, our overall performance in the period was disappointing," Matthew Moellering, interim CEO of Express, said in a statement. "While we expect our results to remain challenging in the near-term, we are focusing on three key areas including product, brand and product clarity, and customer acquisition and retention to reposition the business for future growth and improved profitability."EXPR stock was down 5% as of noon Wednesday.

    Take a look at these estimates for retail sales growth from UBS analysts. Yes, physical stores play a different role in the digital era. But they still have relevance, remain destinations for many, and offer growth potential. Legacy retailers have only themselves to blame if they can’t keep this part of their business healthy. The apparel chain’s comparable sales sank 6 percent in the fourth quarter, contributing to a 1 percent decline on this measure for the full year.

    Express's stock plunges after sales miss, downbeat outlook offsets adjusted profit beat

    Shares of Express Inc. plunged 8.9% toward a record low in premarket trade Wednesday, after the fashion apparel retailer beat fourth-quarter profit expectations but missed on net sales and provided first-quarter outlook that was worse than forecasts. The company swung to a net loss for the quarter to Feb. 2 of $1.1 million, or 2 cents a share, from a profit of $27.4 million, or 35 cents a share, in the year-ago period. Excluding non-recurring items, such as costs related to the CEO departure and Homage investment, adjusted EPS fell to 19 cents from 33 cents but was above the FactSet consensus of 15 cents. Net sales declined 10% to $628.4 million, missing the FactSet consensus of $629.6 million, as same-store sales declined 6% versus expectations of a 6.2% drop. For the first quarter, Express expects a loss per share of 27 cents to 34 cents, compared with the FactSet consensus for a per-share loss of 4 cents, and a same-store sales decline of 9% to 11% versus expectations of a 5% decline. The stock has tumbled 32% over the past 12 months, while the SPDR S&P Retail ETF has gained 0.1% and the S&P 500 has tacked on 1.0%.
