10 Valentine’s Day Stocks to Hate
Not all companies in these love-struck industries are good buys. Here are 10 stocks to break up with this Valentine’s Day.
- 1-800-Flowers (FLWS): A good gift, but a poorly run company that has posted a loss for three of the last four quarters.
- Hershey (HSY): Missing out on the Cadbury merger was not so sweet for Hershey.
- Cardiac Sciences (CSCX): It’s hard to have a heart for a company that fails seven out of my eight fundamental screens.
- Verizon (VZ): If you’re giving your sweetie a cell phone for V-Day, it’s probably an iPhone — the bane of Verizon’s fading subscriber base.
- Titanium Metals (TIE): No matter how much you want those fancy new golf clubs, she’s not buying them this year.
- Molson-Coors (TAP): Drinking alone on Valentines Day? Not a good idea — or a good investment.
- Abercrombie & Fitch (ANF): Stylish but overpriced clothes are still falling flat with consumers, even on V-Day.
- Darden Restaurants (DRI): Olive Garden and Red Lobster are seeing slow sales, and I don’t expect the holiday to turn that around significantly.
- Airtran (AAI): This regional carrier is going nowhere this Valentine’s Day.
- Liz Claiborne (LIZ): With numbers showing fewer women shopping here on their own, chances are their sweethearts won’t be banging down the door this February.
