The 52-Week Low Club (AMLN, ARRS, AU, ED, GCI, IACI, IUSA, PCG, SLRY)

Amylin Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ: AMLN) is becoming a regular in this club. Yet another low of $28.02 intraday from a high of $53.25. It actually closed at $28.62, so it closed above the prior $28.41 low.

Arris Group Inc. (NASDAQ: ARRS). After an 86% drop in profit, shares plunge, targets are cut, and analysts downgrade, Arris lost 30% today and closed down at $5.50 from a former low of $6.91. The 52 week high is $17.89.

AngloGold Ashanti Ltd. (NYSE:AU)  A gold stock on the 52-week lows? Power issues prevail over high commodity prices… ouch! Trading at $33.75. The 52 week range is $33.80 to $51.35.

Consolidated Edison Inc. (NYSE:ED). $10 million lawsuit in the working from a mid-summer accident. Shares  down to $42.40, but $41.96 was the intraday low. The 52 week range is $42.35 to $52.90.

Gannett Co., Inc. (NYSE: GCI). It’s amazing when even a Warren Buffet stake won’t help a newspaper. Shares down to $31.90, prior 52-week range $31.97 to $63.50.

IAC/InteractiveCorp. (NASDAQ: IACI) has been under review for our special situations letter, although it has not yet been added with any formal recommendations. Shares actually closed up marginally at $21.88 after falling down to a low of $21.56; with a 52 week range of $21.80 to $52.90.

infoUSA Inc. (NASDAQ: IUSA) With such a lame Super Bowl commercial, what else could one ask for? Trading in at $7.82, but it traded as low as $7.50 today; preior range was $7.76 to $11.30.  We recently panned this one for our "10 Stocks Under $10" letter ahead of the big game.

PG & E Corp. (NYSE: PCG). As a reward for awards for environmental stewardship, this utility is given a new low. Trading at $39.85 it closed up marginally at the end of the day, but it saw $39.19 earlier today; 52-week trading range is $39.45 to $52.17.

Salary.com, Inc. (NASDAQ: SLRY).  We featured Salary.com on our "10 Stocks Under $10" letter as one of the worst ideas for an IPO of internet stocks and having potentially a fair value of $5 to $6 per share. Today, it reached a new low of $8.00 after a late morning nose-dive before coming back to close "only" down 2.8% at $8.32. The prior 52-week range was $8.31 to $16.32.

52-Week Low Club II (IUSA, JSDA, KNOT, TRK, WAG, ZLC)

Below is our last list of featured 52-week lows today:

  • InfoUSA (NASDAQ:IUSA)… here’s what happens when your paid model gets Google-ized by free everything. $8.63 close versus $8.79 prior yearly low.
  • Jones Soda (NASDAQ:JSDA)… indigestion took this down 3.3% to $6.60, although it managed in the last hour to get back above the prior $6.51 52-week close.  With a $32.60 high, this will still make most investors burp. We aren’t rushing out to include this in our "10 Stocks Under $10 Newsletter" just because it’s under $10.00 again, mainly on its triple-digit P/E ratio despite a severe sell-off.  Jim Cramer has been out of this name as a backer for quite some time, but he are some old comments from Cramer.
  • The Knot (NASDAQ:KNOT) lower by 3.7% to $13.20, just under the $13.24 prior 52-week lows as American anti-family values are taking hold.  Maybe they could hedge the business with divorce.com.  All joking aside, keep your eyes on this one.  We had this as a possible buyout candidate from our "Small Cap Internet Watch List" but we noted that things had to get worse and stay worse before management would have to capitulate and agree to a buyout.
  • Speedway Motor Sports (NYSE:TRK).. maybe NASCAR and stock car racing isn’t immune from a slower consumer, even if there was a big promotion in NYC this week. Closed $33.75, prior 52-week range was $33.80 to $41.68.  Maybe the U.S. needs more NASCAR moms and more soccer dads.  Paying $1 million to go on a car may be dwindling too, but who knows.
  • Walgreen Co. (NYSE:WAG).. this was surprising with another 1.9% drop to $36.59, under the last year range of $37.06 to $49.10.  Apparently dropping those CVS plans over price might not be the right ticket.  At 18-times earnings we aren’t licking our chops yet.
  • Zale Corp. (NYSE:ZLC)…. jewelry is tough in a slower economy, and you can’t sell your garage to buy that diamond tennis bracelet.  This was down in sympathy with Tiffany.  Zale closed down 2.7% to $17.89, under the 52-week range of $18.18 to $31.57.
