Trade-Ideas LLC identified

NetSuite

(

N

) as a weak on high relative volume candidate. In addition to specific proprietary factors, Trade-Ideas identified NetSuite as such a stock due to the following factors:

  • N has an average dollar-volume (as measured by average daily share volume multiplied by share price) of $91.9 million.
  • N has traded 182,155 shares today.
  • N is trading at 8.62 times the normal volume for the stock at this time of day.
  • N is trading at a new low 4.05% below yesterday's close.

'Weak on High Relative Volume' stocks are worth watching because major volume moves tend to indicate underlying activity such as material stock news, analyst downgrades, insider selling, selling from 'superinvestors,' or that hedge funds and traders are piling out of a stock ahead of a catalyst. Regardless of the impetus behind the price and volume action, when a stock moves with strength and volume it can indicate the start of a new trend on which early investors can capitalize (or avoid losses by trimming weak positions). In the event of a well-timed trading opportunity, combining technical indicators with fundamental trends and a disciplined trading methodology should help you take the first steps towards investment success.

Analysis:

TheStreet Quant Ratings

rates NetSuite as a

sell

. The company's weaknesses can be seen in multiple areas, such as its deteriorating net income, generally disappointing historical performance in the stock itself and feeble growth in its earnings per share.

Highlights from the ratings report include:

  • The company, on the basis of change in net income from the same quarter one year ago, has underperformed when compared to that of the S&P 500 and greatly underperformed compared to the Software industry average. The net income has significantly decreased by 31.0% when compared to the same quarter one year ago, falling from -$22.71 million to -$29.75 million.
  • The share price of NETSUITE INC has not done very well: it is down 18.44% and has underperformed the S&P 500, in part reflecting the company's sharply declining earnings per share when compared to the year-earlier quarter. The fact that the stock is now selling for less than others in its industry in relation to its current earnings is not reason enough to justify a buy rating at this time.
  • NETSUITE INC's earnings per share declined by 27.6% in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. The company has reported a trend of declining earnings per share over the past two years. However, the consensus estimate suggests that this trend should reverse in the coming year. During the past fiscal year, NETSUITE INC reported poor results of -$1.58 versus -$1.31 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($0.46 versus -$1.58).
  • The return on equity has improved slightly when compared to the same quarter one year prior. This can be construed as a modest strength in the organization. Compared to other companies in the Software industry and the overall market, NETSUITE INC's return on equity significantly trails that of both the industry average and the S&P 500.
  • The gross profit margin for NETSUITE INC is currently very high, coming in at 73.20%. Regardless of N's high profit margin, it has managed to decrease from the same period last year. Despite the mixed results of the gross profit margin, N's net profit margin of -13.73% significantly underperformed when compared to the industry average.
