Nordstrom (JWN) Offering Possible 5.26% Return Over the Next 10 Calendar Days

Nordstrom's most recent trend suggests a bearish bias. One trading opportunity on Nordstrom is a Bear Call Spread using a strike $32.50 short call and a strike $37.50 long call offers a potential 5.26% return on risk over the next 10 calendar days. Maximum profit would be generated if the Bear Call Spread were to expire worthless, which would occur if the stock were below $32.50 by expiration. The full premium credit of $0.25 would be kept by the premium seller. The risk of $4.75 would be incurred if the stock rose above the $37.50 long call strike price.

The 5-day moving average is moving up which suggests that the short-term momentum for Nordstrom is bullish and the probability of a rise in share price is higher if the stock starts trending.

The 20-day moving average is moving down which suggests that the medium-term momentum for Nordstrom is bearish.

The RSI indicator is at 26.43 level which suggests that the stock is neither overbought nor oversold at this time.

Stitch Fix Stock Rallies Big After Earnings Prove the SFIX Narrative
Thu, 06 Jun 2019 15:49:59 +0000
Stitch Fix (NASDAQ:SFIX) rose overnight after earnings beat expectations. The e-commerce clothing company said it earned $7 million — or 7 cents per share — for the quarter ending in April. The earning comes on net revenue of $408.9 million, a 29% increase year over year. SFIX stock opened this morning up 24%, which has since settled to a more 'modest' 16% gain from yesterday's close.Source: Stitch FixThis monster SFIX stock rally comes after analysts had been worrying about whether the company had enough cash, and the stock had been falling since its previous earnings announcement in March took the shares as high as $34.The latest news, demonstrating those earlier numbers were not a fluke, should send the shares back to its highs once trading opens June 6.InvestorPlace – Stock Market News, Stock Advice & Trading Tips What Stitch Fix Does RightStitch Fix's business may not seem like the most in-demand idea. SFIX has customers take a style quiz and then sends them clothing based on their size and preferences. Customers can then send back what they don't want and buy what they do. * 7 Ways to Make Berkshire Hathaway Stock More Attractive But there's a real demand here. Millions of women find they have no time to shop around and develop their personal style. This is the problem CEO Katrina Lake tries to fix through personalization technology and real stylists, examining not just what customers buy, but what they return. Customers answer some questions and pay a $20 "styling fee" to start. The data is matched with a company database, which then sends 5 items that can be bought or returned.The big story for the company in 2019 is its expansion into men's wear, children's wear, plus-size wear and the UK market, the success of which drove earnings in the most recent quarter.In her analyst call ,Lake also credited Style Pass, launched last year, a subscription service that lets regular customers pay $49 per year and get more personal style services. They Didn't Believe ItClothing is a tough e-commerce market, because everyone is different. It's especially difficult because tastes keep changing.Online retailers like Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) can fill this market, but the vast number of choices offered there make it difficult for people to find clothes unless they go in knowing specifically what they want and what looks good on them. Those customers who don't know exactly what they want or how things will look, still have to head to a department story like Nordstrom (NYSE:JWN) or similar. Even then, many are on their own when it comes to finding what looks best on them.Stitch Fix seems to have cracked the code. Some 62% of its roughly 5,500 employees are listed as stylists, meaning they work directly with about 3.1 million clients.At the company's present run rate of about $1.6 billion in fiscal 2019 revenue, the $2.3 billion market cap gives it a price-to-sales ratio of just 1.5. That's high for a retailer but very low for a technology company. Retailers like Walmart (NYSE:WMT) sell for about half their sales. SFIX stock's ratio is close to that of IBM(NYSE:IBM), which has a $116 billion market cap on about $80 billion in sales. (At the moment, I'd rather own Stitch Fix.) The Bottom Line on SFIX StockCo-founder Lake owns 16% of SFIX stock, but institutions own 66%. Benchmark Capital and its CEO, Bill Gurley, were early backers and Gurley sits on the company's board.Having proven its business model works, Stitch Fix would seem to be ripe for acquisition and scaling. Walmart, Target (NYSE:TGT) and Amazon are the most likely acquirers. * 10 Stocks to Buy That Could Be Takeover Targets If you're interested in owning SFIX stock, buy your shares before the sale.Dana Blankenhorn http://www.danablankenhorn.com is a financial and technology journalist.
