The retail sector, as a whole, is currently 9.1% overvalued, but there are eight specialty retailers that have fallen to bargain basement-valuations at 20% or more undervalued, according to my model.
The share prices of these eight retailers have been discounted by about 25% to 50% off their 52-week highs -- giving investors the opportunity to consider buying weakness now -- and to my value levels.
The stock prices are sliding at companies ranging from luxury-goods provider
Coach
(COH)
to discounter
Dollar General
(DG) - Get Report
. Also slumping are the shares of
Chico's FAS
(CHS) - Get Report
and
Pacific Sunwear
(PSUN)
, as well as
Urban Outfitters
(URBN) - Get Report
.
The stocks of
Harman
(HAR)
,
RadioShack
(RSH)
and
Petco
( PETC) all clearly reside in the doghouse, too. The trading levels for these stocks are below, followed by a table showing my model's full analysis of each stock.
Chico's: Add to positions on weakness to my annual value level at $23.61.
Coach: Add to positions on weakness to the 200-week simple moving average (SMA) at $21.99, or on a buy stop given a weekly close above the five-week MMA at $30.37.
