Holiday 2007 E-Commerce Winners And Losers

comScore today released data that shows households with incomes under $50,000 are not lifting their online spending much from the holiday season last year. Sales from this demographic group are up only 10%.

For people from households above $100,000, the increase is 28%. That is likely to create some big winners and losers in the e-commerce sector.

Wal-Mart’s (WMT) online business is not likely to be helped. Neither is Target’s (TGT). Deep discounter Overstock (OSTK) probably gets beaten up as well. The online businesses for Macy’s (M) and Sears (SHLD) are not likely to be helped.

RedEnvelop (REDE) may be in for a good holiday period. Ditto Blue Nile (NILE)

New 52-Week Lows (July 20, 2007)

STOCK TICKERS: ABK, ACA, BZH, LEN, DHI, RYL, CC, BX, FIG, FINL, HGSI, HSY, HW, JNY, NLS, REDE, TRMP, UBET, TZOO, WB

The DJIA may have hit 14,000 earlier.  A pullback here, some bad news there, and all of a sudden there are still many little piggies being sold off.  Here are some of the main stocks hitting 52-weeks lows today, and it is even an edited-down list:

AMBAC (ABK) $80.05
Whoops, insuring and guaranteeing debt.

ACA Capital (ACA) $6.40
Yep, still no word out of the company yet.  Trading and guaranteeing CDO’s and derivates isn’t what it was cracked up to be, and we still don’t know their real situation.

Beazer Homes (BZH), Lennar (LEN) DR Horton (DHI), Ryland (RYL)
One of its comps calling for crummy to 2009…ouch.

Circuit City (CC) $13.63
You knew this one wasn’t bottomed out yet.

Blackstone (BX) $25.95
Schwarzman isn’t responsible for this added drop, but he’ll do for the blame.

Fortress Inv. Group (FIG) $22.28
This hedge fund, boy…are they in private equity and CDO’s?  Not an intraday low, but its lowest close.

Finish Line (FINL) $7.88
Glad I removed it from the BAIT SHOP of buyout candidates when I did, this one must have 10 piggies in each of their shoes.

Human Genome Sciences (HGSI) $8.61
Maybe genomics is such a 1990’s term.

Hershey (HSY) $47.84
This one was very overvalued for something you eat, so it squirts.

Headwaters (HW) $16.43

Jones Appareal (JNY) $26.62
Weren’t these guys supposed to sell out?

Nautilus (NLS) $9.14
When will a growth exercise and fitness company that warned be touted as a value stock?

Redenvelope (REDE) $5.05
Still don’t know anyone who has used this online e-tailer.

Trump Entertainment (TRMP) $9.50
The Donald’s casino operator can’t find a bottom without reaching under his back.

YouBet.com (UBET) $2.04
Bet this one isn’t done?

Travelzoo (TZOO) $23.00, prior intraday low was $23.16; high was $40.00+.
Online travel carnage continues….maybe France, Hong Kong, and Japan aren’t worth it.

Wachovia (WB) $49.98 close..prior 52-week low was $50.32.
Banks, they need someone to "Watch-ova-ya"

52-Week Lows (July 13, 2007) (ACA, AVAV, IDIX, KERX, NKTR, REDE, STAA, TRMP, UBET, WON)

Stock Tickers: ACA, AVAV, IDIX, KERX, NKTR, REDE, STAA, TRMP, UBET, WON

The DJIA & S&P 500 Index may have put in new highs today, but as you know there are always a dingy group of little piggies putting in new 52-week lows.  Some companies are poorly run, and some are just victim of circumstance.  Maybe they can just all blame Friday the 13th.  Not all of these are definitely CLOSING on 52-week lows but some deserved the honorable mention.  Here are today’s little piggies:

(ACA) ACA CAPITAL HOLDINGS… Giving it up again, down 50% from Highs.  ACA provides financial guaranty insurance products to participants in the global credit derivative, structured finance capital, and municipal finance capital markets.  You think subprime or CDO blow-ups snuck into their pocketbook?

(AVAV) AEROVIRONMENT INC… Shares traded down another 2.4% and traded down into the ‘teens’ for the first time since its IPO in January.  No one realized that its flying re-con plane was needed to find stock buyers rather than enemy soldiers over the horizon.

(IDIX) IDENIX PHARMACEUTICALS… Whoops, FDA halts Hep-C trials. Ouch!

(KERX)    KERYX BIOPHARMA… no real news, just days and days of weakness.

(NKTR) NEKTAR THERAPEUTICS… no real news, just days of weakness.

(REDE) RED ENVELOPE… no real news, although for an ‘online of high-end gifts’ it is pretty shocking that I have yet to meet anyone who has bought from them online.

(STAA) STAAR SURGICAL… very thin volume, no news; not being run by stars?

(TRMP) TRUMP ENTERTAINMENT… The truth is that this DIDN’T CLOSE on a low, but it hit a new since coming public after the recapitalization in 2005 and deserves to be noted.  Hopefully The Donald won’t sue us for saying something negative like he has been known to do, but this stock has been a stinker.

(UBET) YOUBET.COM… You can bet it is hard to find bulls or bears in this name.

(WON) WESTWOOD ONE INC… This was down close to 15% at one point but managed to come all the way back on 4-times average volume to a 10-year ("TEN") after traders bought it back up after Citigroup downgraded it.
