(New York)
The market is not doing well this month. That is probably a serious understatement, in fact. Yet, that leaves room for opportunity, both in aggregate, but also in specific shares that might lead in these tougher times. Retail is an interesting choice right now, as the economy is still doing well and we are headed into the busy holiday shopping period. With that in mind, take a look at Gap, Foot Locker, and Michael Kors Holdings, all of which look cheap “relative to their respective sectors” and have “identifiable catalysts between now and year-end”, according to analysts at Jefferies.
FINSUM: Retail is interesting to us at present because it is not overly rate sensitive and is heading into its strongest period of the year right when the economy is looking best. That said, we are worried about consumer spending falling on the back of these equity losses.
