Nike (NYSE:NKE) has not had the kind of year that investors associate with a strong performing company. Year to date the company has underperformed the S&P 500 by a little over 20% and are that far off their 52-week high as well. With a fresh 52-week low that was established following the fiscal 2017 first quarter Nike looks pretty attractive especially when comparing their fundamentals and balance sheet with competitors Under Armour (NYSE:UA)(NYSE:UA.C) and Adidas (OTCQX:ADDYY) (OTCQX:ADDDF).

First Quarter

Investors bid down the shares following what was received as disappointing results for their first fiscal quarter. On one hand revenues increased by 8% when accounting for currency and 10% on a currency neutral basis. On the other hand their gross margin was hit by 2% due to leaving the golf industry and what is now becoming a regular issue of foreign currency exchange rates. Growth in the bottom line looked good until you peel it back and see the tax rate dropping to 2.5% from 18.4% last year was likely what helped it along. Were it not for that drop in the tax rate the slipping gross margins and rising expenses would have resulted in a very different quarter with just over $.61 in earnings per share being reported, a full six cents lower than last year’s quarter.

    The other concern is that while it may be the first to market in treating Dravet syndrome and Lennox-Gastaut syndrome, another experimental therapy is nipping at its heels. In September, Zogenix (NASDAQ:ZGNX) announced surprisingly strong phase 3 data for ZX008, a low-dose fenfluramine that absolutely blew away the placebo in Dravet syndrome patient testing. Zogenix’s lead compound led to a 72.4% reduction in convulsive seizure frequency over a 14-week period, compared to the 17.4% reduction for placebo patients.

  • [By Sean Williams]

    But what’s interesting about Epidiolex is that its first-to-market advantage may not hold up for too long. You see, Zogenix (NASDAQ:ZGNX)also is developing a treatment for Dravet syndrome, known as ZX008, that it plans to test on LGS patients soon. In phase 3 Dravet syndrome trials, Zogenix’s lead drug wound up demonstrating a 72.4% reduction in convulsive seizure frequency over the 14-week treatment period relative to baseline. This more than quadrupled the 17.4% reduction in convulsive seizure frequency seen in placebo patients.

    Aimia (OTCPK:GAPFF) (TSX: AIM, AIM.PR.A, AIM.PR.B, AIM.PR.C)

    As some background, we are intimately familiar with Aeroplan and Air Canada (OTCQX:ACDVF) not just as investors but as extraordinarily heavy consumers. As both an Air Canada top tier elite and Aeroplan top tier member I generate well in excess of 1.5 million Aeroplan miles annually, half from flying Air Canada and its partners and the other half from spending. As consumers we were concerned with Air Canada’s decision (though we expect more details to come out that will alleviate these concerns) but as investors we understand that the fundamental business model of mileage programs are incredibly attractive and that Aimia presents an incredibly rare and lucrative investment opportunity for the investor discerning enough to dig into the company.

Stifel’s Annabel Samimy and team argue that Valeant Pharmaceuticals International (VRX) is “turning a corner,” at least when it comes to perception. They explain:

christinne muschi/Reuters

After reaching crisis of confidence levels following 4Q15 earnings, developments of the last several days seem to indicate that Valeant is turning a corner. The most concerning risk factors have been alleviated: 1) no additional accounting misstatements were found following completion of the internal ad hoc review, 2) Valeant committed to filing its 10-K by 4/29/16, and 3) creditors and bondholders agreed to extend or waive technical covenants related to reporting deadlines. At this time, its worth reminding investors of the significant brand value of its multiple franchises, as well as the steady demand of its key products to date. Our initial Sum of the Parts analysis derived an equity value of $65/share, but a deeper SOTP can yield up to $90-95/share in equity value, confirming again that current levels do not accurately reflect this asset value. With liquidity to satisfy debt obligations, obviating the need for forced asset sales, we do not believe Valeant should not be trading at distressed levels.

Top 10 Stocks To Own For 2018: Pinnacle Entertainment Inc.(PNK)

Advisors’ Opinion:

  • [By Ben Levisohn]

    Pinnacle Entertainment (PNK) has gained 56% this year; Las Vegas Sands (LVS) has climbed 38%. And Deutsche Bank has nice things to say about both today.

    Bloomberg

    First Pinnacle. Deutsche Bank’s Carlo Santarelli ponders the stock’s big move and comes away still seeing value in its shares. He writes:

    When we upgraded PNK in April, our thesis centered on the FCF strength of the combined entities [Pinnacle completed its acquisition of Ameristar Casinos on Aug. 14], a handful of favorable catalysts, easing regional gaming comps, & an inexpensive relative valuation. Given the shares’ sizeable move since then, we believe it is worth revisiting the investment case. Post the announcement of several asset sales and the closing of the transaction, we are adjusting our estimates, raising our PT to $30 from $24, and maintaining our bullish view at current levels given what we still believe to be an attractive free cash flow valuation, meaningful potential synergy realization beyond the $40 mm of announced benefits, and a free option on a lagging regional recovery.

    Santarelli also revisited Las Vegas Sands and there too, he likes what he sees. He writes:

    With…LVS at [a share price level] that have been challenging to break from over the last year plus, we believe this time is different and hence we see continued upward momentum…In the case of LVS, we see; 1) meaningful mass market strength continuing through year end, setting the stage for upward company and market estimate revisions for 2014, 2) continued cash flow appreciation and capital returns serving as downside protection and positive catalysts, and 3) continued shared gains, largely driven by table optimization and mass market strength, driving both estimates and sentiment.

    He also likes Wynn Resorts (WYNN), despite its 34% gain.Santarelli writes:

Some investors are ready to write the obituary for the market phenomenon known as risk on, risk off. Long-suffering stock pickers might be tempted to do some grave dancing.

Risk on, risk off, known by the unfortunate acronym, RORO, was a dominant feature of financial markets in the aftermath of the 2008-2009 crisis.
