Contrarian Calls, Revisited: Value Stock Geek’s Bullish Take on Certain Retail Stocks

Published September 28, 2020

Value Stock Geek, well known by his Twitter handle @ValueStockGeek, was bullish on shares of certain retail companies.

Speaking on the podcast in June 2019, the guest said E-Commerce had not yet destroyed old-fashioned retail commerce. “The retail sector is now a hated and beaten-up sector and it’s mainly because of Amazon and E-commerce,” he said at the time. “But I think the current narrative is overblown…right now, E-Commerce as a percentage of retail sales represents about 10% of all retail sales. That means that 90% of all retail transactions still happen in the store.”

Value Stock Geek’s favorite stocks were Dick’s Sporting Goods (NYSE: DSK) and Urban Outfitters (NASDAQ: URBN).

Season 1, Episode 9: Reports of Retail’s Death Have Been Greatly Exaggerated, With ValueStockGeek

Published June 11, 2019

Retail is dead. Brick and mortars shopping has been replaced by E-commerce. Amazon is triumphant, the victor over all goods that can reasonably be bought and sold. The experience of in-person shopping, whether for clothes or food or electronics or anything else, is going the way of the horse and buggy. 

This is the conventional wisdom. It would take a very wise (and contrarian) individual to want to oppose it. But that’s exactly what this week’s guest is all about. @ValueStockGeek has spotted some opportunities in retail stocks. Yes, really.
