<h3>Crocs&#39; Long-Term Game Plan</h3>
We expect the CROX stock to retain momentum, given its continued progress on the long-term strategy and key initiatives to deliver sustainable growth announced in September 2021. The company&#39;s growth strategy is focused on three key initiatives to drive durable and consistent growth &mdash; igniting icons to enhance brand awareness and relevance; investing strategically in Tier 1 markets to drive market share growth; and diversifying the product range to attract consumers.
The company has been witnessing incredible success with its diverse collaborations and partnerships. CROX has demonstrated growth across different markets through its partnerships with iconic brands like Toy Story and Hello Kitty, and emerging ones like Klott. The collaboration with Simone Rocha, a luxury brand, further solidifies its brand positioning in the high-end market. The recent launch of Echo Storm in direct-to-consumer channels and through partnerships with Foot Locker and JD Sports are on track.
In addition, the company has been experiencing strength in clogs, sandals and personalization. Its classic clogs are serving as a significant driver of growth, attracting customers and retaining the existing ones. Management continues to view personalization as a mega consumer trend, with the opportunity of expanding the Jibbitz penetration in 2024 via higher penetration within digital and wholesale channels, continuously innovating with product freshness and advanced speed to market capabilities.
The company&#39;s long-term targets include generating revenues of more than $5 billion, representing a five-year compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of more than 17% by 2026. It expects to attain the revenue target, driven by strong digital sales, improved market share for sandals, growth in Asia, and innovative products and marketing.
Management expects four times revenue growth in sandals by 2026. The company sees long-term opportunities in Asia, primarily in China, the second-largest footwear market in the world. It estimates revenue growth to witness a CAGR of 25% and to represent 24% of the total revenues in 2026. The company targets digital channels to contribute at least 50% of the total revenues by the end of 2026. Driven by strong revenue growth, the company anticipates delivering improved profitability and cash flows through 2026. It expects the adjusted operating margin to be more than 26% and the annual free cash flow in excess of $1 billion by the end of 2026.
<h3>Bumps in Path</h3>
Crocs has been witnessing rising costs related to the HEYDUDE acquisition. Also, distribution and logistics inefficiencies have been acting as headwinds. This has been resulting in higher SG&amp;A expenses for a while now. Looking ahead, the company is concerned about continued inflation, higher interest rates and geopolitical tensions across the globe, alongside the increases in the aforementioned costs.

The company recently reported that it has 4.56 million shares sold short, which is 8.66% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 3.4 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Comparing Crocs's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Crocs's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 5.77%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.

How Is The Market Feeling About Crocs?

BofA Securities analyst Christopher Nardone has previewed the expected performance of footwear companies in the upcoming earning season.
According to the analyst, footwear stocks like Crocs Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CROX#NASDAQ">CROX</a>), Deckers Outdoor Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DECK#NYSE">DECK</a>) and Skechers U.S.A., Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SKX#NYSE">SKX</a>) have pulled back 11% off recent highs on average as a combination of tariff and freight related risks, and recent volatility in the higher multiple <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance">athletic sector are weighing on the group.</a>
The analyst expects calendar second-quarter sales trends to remain strong and model revenues either beating or hitting the upper end of guidance for each company, with strength driven by international.
For the analyst, the risk/reward for CROX remains attractive with the stock trading just above 10x F25E P/E.&nbsp;
The analyst forecasts second-quarter EPS of $3.57, at the upper end of the company&#8217;s $3.40-$3.55 outlook and note CROX has a strong track record of beating EPS guidance.
The analyst recently upgraded SKX to Buy on the basis that the wholesale environment is improving, broader footwear trends remain solid and implied 2H sales guidance could prove conservative.
The stock looks attractive at 14x P/E in a relatively growth anemic consumer discretionary sector and given double digit growers tend to trade at much higher multiples, noted the analyst.
The analyst expects DECK to report a strong fiscal first quarter based on better sales and a better-than-expected gross margin.
Beyond the first quarter, the analyst sees much more difficult comparisons for UGG, and the continued competitive dynamic in specialty run will temper the magnitude of beats needed to drive the multiple higher.
The analyst estimates DECK has much lower China sourcing exposure (&lt;10%) compared to SKX (40% est) and CROX (30% est).&nbsp;
Within the group, the analyst prefers <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/CROX/analyst-ratings">Buy-rated CROX</a> (trading at 10x F25E P/E) and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/SKX/analyst-ratings">SKX (14x F25E P/E)</a> and see a more balanced risk/reward for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/deck/analyst-ratings">DECK (26x F26E P/E).</a>

Inflation is finally showing signs of easing. The personal consumption expenditure (PCE) price index, the Fed&#39;s preferred inflation gauge, remained unchanged month over month in May after increasing 0.3% in April.&nbsp;
Year over year, the PCE price index rose 2.6% in May after increasing 2.7% in April. Core PCE, which excludes the volatile food and energy prices, climbed 0.1% month over month in May after an upwardly revised 0.3% rise in April.
On a year-over-year basis, core PCE rose 2.6% in May after increasing 2.8% in April, May&#39;s increase was also the smallest since March 2021.
More importantly, goods prices fell 0.4% in May, the largest since November 2023. Also, prices of gasoline and other energy products decreased 3.4%.
The Federal Reserve has hiked interest rates by 525 basis points since March 2022. As a result, inflation declined sharply in 2023. However, it once again rose in the first quarter, igniting fears that the central bank could resume rate hikes.
The Federal Reserve has kept interest rates steady in its current range of 5.25-5.5% for the past 12 months. Also, Fed Chairman Jerome Powell, in his June post-FOMC meeting statement, said that the Fed sees only one rate cut this year.
However, positive inflation data has raised hopes among a large section of market participants that there could be two rate cuts of 25 basis points each in 2024.
Even a single 0.25 basis point rate cut is welcome, especially since many market players had earlier predicted that there would be no rate cuts this year.
Moreover, the most recent FOMC &quot;dot plot&quot; projects a 1% overall reduction in interest rates by 2025. According to this forecast, the Fed funds rate is anticipated to drop to 4.1% by the end of next year, which is encouraging for the economy as a whole.

A steady rise in income has been a challenge for the Federal Reserve in controlling sky-high inflation. However, inflation is finally showing signs of cooling, while wages continue to be on the rise. A steadily rising personal income is also allowing consumers to spend more freely.
The Commerce Department said on Jun 28 that personal income increased 0.5% in May, following a 0.3% jump in April. Wages increased 0.7% in May, which can raise concerns for the Federal Reserve, which has been struggling to fight inflation.
Disposable personal income, which is calculated after paying taxes, rose 0.5% in May. The personal savings rate also rose 3.9% in May after increasing 3.7% in April.&nbsp;
Despite a jump in the personal savings rate, consumers continued to spend. Consumer spending rose 0.2% in May after increasing 0.1% in April. Consumer spending, which accounts for two-thirds of the U.S. economic activity, got a boost from a 0.3% jump in spending on services.
Spending on goods also rebounded in May, increasing 0.2% month over month after a 0.5% decline in April.
The report comes as the Commerce Department said that inflation cooled further in May. The personal consumption expenditure (PCE) remained unchanged in May after increasing 0.3% in April. Year over year, the PCE price index rose 2.6% in May after increasing 2.7% in the prior month.
Inflation increased in the first quarter but finally started easing in April. The Federal Reserve also said that it is planning one 25 basis point rate cut. Market participants are pricing in the first rate cut in September.
Lower borrowing rates will give consumers more spending power, which bodes well for the broader economy.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

Looking Into Crocs's Recent Short Interest

Carter&#39;s, Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/cri#NYSE">CRI</a>) has been capitalizing on its pricing strategy, efficient inventory management and enhanced product offerings. It has also witnessed benefits from favorable ocean freight rates, lower inventory levels and decreased distribution and freight costs, all of which have been positively impacting margins and bottom-line growth. 
CRI observed significant improvement in wholesale segment demand trends in the first quarter of 2024. This improvement is attributed to leaner inventories among wholesale customers. However, the ongoing unfavorable impact of inflation on Carter&#39;s top line and the subsequent reduction in consumer spending cannot be ignored.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<h3>Factors Contributing Growth</h3>
Carter&#39;s has experienced a considerable expansion in margin rates, with lower ocean freight rates and reduced product costs being the primary drivers. These factors contributed to a gross margin expansion of 310 bps in the first quarter, with lower inventory levels also contributing positively to the gross margin. This underscores its commitment toward efficient cost management and operational improvements. 
The company&#39;s U.S Wholesale business marked a notable increase in its results, mainly backed by lower product and transportation partially offset by selective price investments. Also, sales of this segment grew by 5.7% year over year. Management envisions sales in the U.S. wholesale business in low single digits for 2024. 
CRI appears well poised to benefit from its pricing efforts, which are addressing adverse market conditions and enhancing profitability. It is strategically focused on essential core products, especially in the inflationary markets. 
It stands to benefit from the recent launch of Everyday Value program. This initiative helps parents manage budgets more effectively during inflationary periods by offering consistent and competitive prices on essential items. Since its inception, the Everyday Value categories have positively impacted sales and consumer sentiment. Also, management plans to use supply-chain cost savings to strategically adjust prices on roughly 15% of its products. 
Moreover, CRI&#39;s dedication to comprehensive inventory management was evident in its first-quarter 2024 results, where it continued to operate with leaner inventories. During this period, the company experienced improved price realization and profit margins, largely driven by lower product costs, inbound freight rates and effective inventory management. 
Due to the challenges prevailing in the discretionary spending avenues for consumers, Carter&#39;s has been trimming expenses, where possible, resulting in lower as well as improved quality of inventory. The company envisions continued conservative inventory commitments by some wholesale customers.
<h3>Hurdles in its Way</h3>
Carter&#39;s has been experiencing the challenges of enduring inflation which has affected its top-line performance in the first quarter of 2024. Factors such as inflation, record-high interest rates and the suspension of pandemic-related stimulus payments to child-care centers have placed pressure on families with young children and their demand for the company&#39;s brands. 
Apart from this, management highlighted that sales trends in the U.S. retail segment have been soft due to factors such as early occurrence of the Easter holiday in March this year, as well as the continuation of cooler weather in April, which dampened demand for warmer weather apparel. 
From a valuation perspective, this Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) company looks stretched. Shares of CRI have lost 24.9% in the past six months compared with the industry&#39;s decline of 2.6%.

<h3>Final Thoughts</h3>
Carter&#39;s anticipates an improvement in the macroeconomic environment and consumer demand as the year progresses. This is expected to result in a return to low-single-digit comparable sales growth in the U.S. Retail segment during the second half of the year. Management also envisions low-to-mid single-digit growth in adjusted earnings per share for 2024.

Watching Crocs; Hearing Investor Business Daily SwingTrader Buys Stock

BofA analyst Christopher Nardone upgraded the shares of Skechers USA Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SKX#NYSE">SKX</a>) from <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/SKX/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">Neutral to Buy </a>and raised the price target from $71 to $87.
The analyst said the upgrade is on the basis that the wholesale environment is improving, broader footwear trends remain solid, and implied 2H sales guidance could prove conservative.
According to the analyst, SKX offers compelling value at 14.6x F25E P/E given the expectation for a 11% 3 year sales growth CAGR.
Also, the analyst raised 2Q24/F24 EPS estimates by 8%/2% to $1.00/$4.15 to reflect stronger revenues.
The management&#8217;s confidence in the trajectory of the U.S. wholesale business has improved relative to earlier this year and the brand is gaining traction with newer, higher priced innovation, noted the analyst.

The analyst is confident of significant international opportunities across China, SE Asia, Latin America, and Eastern Europe.
The biggest near term operational risk is volatility around supply chain and freight rates, which will be manageable if SKX delivers outsized growth, said the analyst.
The first-quarter results in April have given positive data points from footwear brands Crocs Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CROX#NASDAQ">CROX</a>), Birkenstock Holding PLC (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BIRK#NYSE">BIRK</a>), Deckers Outdoor Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DECK#NYSE">DECK</a>) and On Holdings AG (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ONON#NYSE">ONON</a>) and most retailers, thereby boosting confidence that momentum in the category will continue, asserted the analyst.
The analyst notes SKX&#8217;s current valuation at 15x P/E is a compelling entry point given the increased confidence on the sustainability of double digit sales trends.
Price Action: SKX shares are trading higher by 2.24% at $72.71 at the last check Friday.

In the store channel, the company&#39;s total sales increased 12%. Digital revenues improved 8% year over year and contributed 41% to the total revenues. 
Gross profit improved 11% year over year to $1.3 billion. Also, the gross margin expanded 20 basis points (bps) to 57.7%, driven by a 120-bps rise in the product margin due to lower product costs, airfreight costs and inventory provisions, offset by a 50-bps increase in markdowns. The increase in product margin was partly negated by 70-bps deleverage on fixed costs and 30-bps deleverage on foreign exchange. We expected the gross margin to be flat year over year at 57.5% for the fiscal first quarter. 
SG&amp;A expenses of $842 million increased 12.7% from the year-ago quarter. SG&amp;A expenses, as a percentage of net revenues, of 38.1% were up 70 bps from the 37.4% reported in the prior-year quarter. 
Our model predicted SG&amp;A expenses to rise 13.8% year over year for the fiscal first quarter, with a 130-bps increase in the SG&amp;A expense rate to 38.7%. 
Operating income rose 7.8% year over year to $433 million in the fiscal first quarter. The operating margin of 19.6% contracted 50 bps year over year. Our model predicted a 2.9% year-over-year increase in operating income. We estimated the operating margin to decline 130 bps year over year to 18.8%.

In the fiscal first quarter, LULU opened five and closed five stores. The company also completed three store optimizations. As of Apr 28, 2024, it operated 711 stores. 
For the second quarter of fiscal 2024, lululemon plans to open 14 company-operated stores. For fiscal 2024, the company anticipates opening 35-40 company-operated stores and completing approximately 40 co-located optimizations, contributing to overall square footage growth in the low double digits. The store openings in fiscal 2024 will include five to 10 stores and 15-20 optimizations in the Americas. The rest of the store openings in fiscal 2024 are likely to occur in the international markets, primarily in China Mainland.
<h3>Financials</h3>
lululemon exited the quarter with cash and cash equivalents of $1.9 billion and stockholders&#39; equity of $4.2 billion. At the end of the quarter, LULU had $400 million remaining under its committed revolving credit facility. Its inventories decreased 15% year over year to $1.3 billion. 
In the fiscal first quarter, lululemon repurchased 0.8 million shares for $296.9 million. On May 29, 2024, the company approved a $1-billion increase to its share repurchase program. Including this, as of Jun 5, 2024, it had $1.7 billion remaining under its current share repurchase authorization.
<h3>Outlook</h3>
For the second quarter of fiscal 2024, management anticipates net revenues of $2.4-$2.42 billion, indicating 9-10% year-over-year growth. The company expects gross margin to contract 100-110 bps year over year, driven by deleverage on fixed costs and ongoing investment in the multi-year distribution center project. It expects the product margin to be relatively flat year over year in the fiscal second quarter, including an increase in markdowns. However, it expects the increase in markdowns to be lesser than it witnessed in first-quarter fiscal 2024. 
SG&amp;A, as a percentage of sales, is likely to leverage 40-60 bps year over year due to improved regional penetration, a shift in the timing of certain brand campaign-related spends that occurred in the second quarter of last year to the first quarter of this year, the top line growth and ongoing prudent expense management. 
The operating margin is expected to contract 50-60 bps year over year in the fiscal second quarter. EPS in the fiscal second quarter is expected to be $2.92-$2.97, whereas it reported $2.68 in the prior-year quarter. It estimates an effective tax rate of 30% for the fiscal second quarter. 
The company expects dollar inventory to decline in the mid-teens in the fiscal second quarter. It expects an increase in dollar inventory in the second half of fiscal 2024 against a decline reported in the prior year. 
For fiscal 2024, LULU anticipates net revenues of $10.7-$10.8 billion, suggesting growth of 11-12%, or 10-11%, excluding the 53rd week in 2024. 
The company anticipates the gross margin to be flat year over year. Within the gross margin, it expects both markdowns and airfreight to be relatively flat with last year. SG&amp;A, as a percentage of sales, is likely to leverage 10 bps year over year. It expects the fiscal 2024 operating margin to be 23.3%, suggesting year-over-year growth of 10 bps. 
The company projects an EPS of $14.27-$14.47, an increase from $12.77 reported in fiscal 2023. LULU anticipates an effective tax rate of 30% for fiscal 2024. 
lululemon expects a capital expenditure of $670-$690 million for fiscal 2024. 
As part of the Power of Three X2 growth plan, LULU estimates net revenues of $12.5 billion by 2026, implying significant growth from the 2021 reported figure of $6.25 billion.

Here's How Much $1000 Invested In Crocs 10 Years Ago Would Be Worth Today

When deciding whether to buy, sell, or hold a stock, investors often rely on analyst recommendations. Media reports about rating changes by these brokerage-firm-employed (or sell-side) analysts often influence a stock&#39;s price, but are they really important?
Let&#39;s take a look at what these Wall Street heavyweights have to say about Crocs (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/crox#NASDAQ">CROX</a>) before we discuss the reliability of brokerage recommendations and how to use them to your advantage.
Crocs currently has an average brokerage recommendation of 1.36, on a scale of 1 to 5 (Strong Buy to Strong Sell), calculated based on the actual recommendations (Buy, Hold, Sell, etc.) made by 11 brokerage firms. An ABR of 1.36 approximates between Strong Buy and Buy.
Of the 11 recommendations that derive the current ABR, nine are Strong Buy, representing 81.8% of all recommendations.
Brokerage Recommendation Trends for CROX
<img alt="Broker Rating Breakdown Chart for CROX" class="chart" src="https://staticx-tuner.zacks.com/images/yesopchart/brokerage_bar/CROX_06052024.png" style="width:100%" title="" /> 
The ABR suggests buying Crocs, but making an investment decision solely on the basis of this information might not be a good idea. According to several studies, brokerage recommendations have little to no success guiding investors to choose stocks with the most potential for price appreciation.
Do you wonder why? As a result of the vested interest of brokerage firms in a stock they cover, their analysts tend to rate it with a strong positive bias. According to our research, brokerage firms assign five &quot;Strong Buy&quot; recommendations for every &quot;Strong Sell&quot; recommendation.
In other words, their interests aren&#39;t always aligned with retail investors, rarely indicating where the price of a stock could actually be heading. Therefore, the best use of this information could be validating your own research or an indicator that has proven to be highly successful in predicting a stock&#39;s price movement.
With an impressive externally audited track record, our proprietary stock rating tool, the Zacks Rank, which classifies stocks into five groups, ranging from Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) to Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell), is a reliable indicator of a stock&#39;s near -term price performance. So, validating the Zacks Rank with ABR could go a long way in making a profitable investment decision.
Zacks Rank Should Not Be Confused With ABR
Although both Zacks Rank and ABR are displayed in a range of 1-5, they are different measures altogether.
Broker recommendations are the sole basis for calculating the ABR, which is typically displayed in decimals (such as 1.28). The Zacks Rank, on the other hand, is a quantitative model designed to harness the power of earnings estimate revisions. It is displayed in whole numbers -- 1 to 5.
Analysts employed by brokerage firms have been and continue to be overly optimistic with their recommendations. Since the ratings issued by these analysts are more favorable than their research would support because of the vested interest of their employers, they mislead investors far more often than they guide.
On the other hand, earnings estimate revisions are at the core of the Zacks Rank. And empirical research shows a strong correlation between trends in earnings estimate revisions and near-term stock price movements.
In addition, the different Zacks Rank grades are applied proportionately to all stocks for which brokerage analysts provide current-year earnings estimates. In other words, this tool always maintains a balance among its five ranks.
There is also a key difference between the ABR and Zacks Rank when it comes to freshness. When you look at the ABR, it may not be up-to-date. Nonetheless, since brokerage analysts constantly revise their earnings estimates to reflect changing business trends, and their actions get reflected in the Zacks Rank quickly enough, it is always timely in predicting future stock prices.
Is CROX a Good Investment?
Looking at the earnings estimate revisions for Crocs, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the current year has increased 1.7% over the past month to $12.66.
Analysts&#39; growing optimism over the company&#39;s earnings prospects, as indicated by strong agreement among them in revising EPS estimates higher, could be a legitimate reason for the stock to soar in the near term.
The size of the recent change in the consensus estimate, along with three other factors related to earnings estimates, has resulted in a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) for Crocs.
Therefore, the Buy-equivalent ABR for Crocs may serve as a useful guide for investors.

Footwear and athletic apparel stocks fall after Nike's guidance shocker

<a href="https://investorplace.com">InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice &amp; Trading Tips</a>
For the sophisticated investor, <a href="https://investorplace.com/trading/">trading strategies</a> involve technical analysis, exhaustive investment research and years of experience in the stock market. But there&rsquo;s no reason that everyday investors just looking to plan for retirement or protect their 401(k) investments have to feel like second-class citizens on Wall Street. Investing money in <a href="https://investorplace.com/category/mutual-funds-etfs/mutual-funds/">mutual funds</a> or stocks is a serious business, but that doesn&rsquo;t mean it has to be overly complex.



Yes, online stock trading can be affected by a host of variables. And yes, all trading strategies need to adapt to the current stock market conditions. But by following these five simple rules for buying stocks, you can dramatically improve your chances of success. After all, simple trading strategies can sometimes be the most effective.



<h2>1. Buy What You Know</h2>



Each investor forms their own trading strategies and rules for buying stocks based on their personal goals and risk tolerance. And similarly, each investor buys and sells stocks and mutual funds based on what makes sense to them, right?



Not necessarily. The problem is that many investors fall victim to the latest fads on social media and dubious advice on investment websites, and they&rsquo;re eager to buy the stocks everyone else is talking about. This is how traders got taken for a ride by the dot-com bubble, as folks piled into stocks that hadn&rsquo;t yet turned a profit and that had no realistic way to make money.



Remember Flooz.com, which pitched a kind of online currency that would serve as an alternative to credit cards?&nbsp;



It sounds like a crazy concept, but the company raised somewhere between $35 million and $50 million from investors and enlisted a few retail giants such as Barnes &amp; Noble to join in. But at its core, Flooz was a glorified gift card company with limited partners. Three years after going public, Flooz was bankrupt &mdash; which shouldn&rsquo;t have surprised anyone who took a hard look at the company&rsquo;s business model.



On the other side of the coin, take Nvidia (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/nvda-stock-quote/">NVDA</a>), a maker of semiconductors for electronics. Thanks largely to its revolutionary AI chip, Nvidia <a href="https://money.usnews.com/investing/articles/best-growth-stocks-to-buy#:~:text=Nvidia%20Corp.,-(NVDA)&amp;text=Nvidia's%20revenue%20grew%20262%25%20year,through%20at%20least%20mid%2D2025.">grew its revenue by 262%</a> year over year in the first quarter of 2024. It also looks like the demand for AI chips will outpace supply for at least several months, so Nvidia is unlikely to drop anytime soon.



Never underestimate the power of your personal experience. If you notice consumer trends or new products with big potential, chances are other folks will, too. This will help you anticipate investment trends and profit from them instead of chasing other people&rsquo;s stock picks.



<h2>2. Buy Stocks Great Investors Own</h2>



Of course, there&rsquo;s a pitfall to relying on personal tastes alone. It&rsquo;s always valuable to have an outside perspective on your stocks to make sure you&rsquo;re on the right track. And if you want a second opinion, why not go right to the top and pick the brains of the best traders on Wall Street?



There&rsquo;s a reason Warren Buffett is a bit of a rock star to individual investors: His trading strategies and ways to invest money seem almost superhuman. Buffett&rsquo;s Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/brk-a-stock-quote/">BRK-A</a>, NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/brk-b-stock-quote/">BRK-B</a>) makes timely and very profitable investments.&nbsp;



In May, Berkshire Hathaway came out on top again in a <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/05/04/berkshire-hathaway-brka-earnings-q1-2024.html">powerful earnings report</a>. Its operating profit grew 39% from the previous year, and it reached a record-high cash hoard. How can individual investors enjoy similar success? Simple: Buy what Buffett buys.



While it may be impossible to reproduce Warren Buffett&rsquo;s investment strategy &mdash; and it&rsquo;s highly unlikely you&rsquo;ll ever get the chance to pick his brain for stock tips, many of Buffett&rsquo;s investments are public record. Berkshire Hathaway must report its holdings quarterly; investments in equity securities are a regular feature of BRK holdings. And any stock that sees an influx of cash from Warren Buffett and company has trouble keeping it a secret due to the insatiable appetite for all things Buffett.



Take Apple (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/aapl-stock-quote/">AAPL</a>), one of Buffett&rsquo;s longtime favorite stocks. Although he has occasionally sold off portions of his Apple holdings, Buffett has overall increased his shares over the past several years. By the end of 2017, Buffett <a href="https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/heres-how-much-youd-have-if-you-invested-%2410000-in-apple-stock-when-warren-buffett-first">held roughly 162.6 million shares</a> in the company. By 2024, he held a staggering 905.6 million shares.



As for Apple&rsquo;s stock performance? While there have been some peaks and valleys, its growth has generally trended upward. On June 17, 2024, it reached an all-time high closing price of $216.67.



There is, of course, a danger to groupthink &mdash; and even Warren Buffett gets it wrong sometimes. It&rsquo;s worth noting that while Buffett may be America&rsquo;s favorite investor, there are a host of others with investment strategies worth watching. George Soros and Peter Lynch have been highly successful, and any investor could learn something from them.



<h2>3. Buy Stocks for the Future, Not the Past</h2>



Sifting through quarterly reports and past performance for a company can provide insight into the health of a prospective investment. But it&rsquo;s important to realize that these numbers are lagging indicators. When you look for the best stocks to buy, you should put a premium on future growth trends over previous successes.



Consider shifting demographics and evolving geopolitics, such as the fact that China became the top automobile sales market in the world in 2008. This was thanks to an emerging middle class in the People&rsquo;s Republic and lagging consumer confidence in the United States during the recession.&nbsp;



China&rsquo;s automotive industry is still the largest in the world, partially because the industry easily adapts to market trends; in recent years, China has been working on developing electric cars and cars with advanced safety systems.&nbsp;



That trend has led to rising stocks in the automotive sector. The most notable is BYD (OTCMKTS:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/byddy-stock-quote/">BYDDY</a>), a Chinese manufacturer with a focus on electric cars. While it&rsquo;s had a few dips along the way, BYD is largely a growth stock &mdash; and it doesn&rsquo;t hurt that Warren Buffett is an investor, either.



If investors could tell the future, it would be easy to play the stock market. But there is no crystal ball that will provide answers as to which companies will see success and which ones won&rsquo;t.&nbsp;



Still, you can increase your chances of sizable returns by doing your research. Remember that the stock market doesn&rsquo;t exist in a vacuum, and real-world events can (and often do) inspire drastic changes. Ultimately, if you want to invest wisely, your rules for buying stocks should include focusing on future trends more than past successes.



<h2>4. Buy Stocks With Great Leadership</h2>



The success or failure of a company relies in large part on the leadership and vision of its top executives. Growth comes from the top, not from random successes at a smattering of stores that trickle upwards. When you buy a stock, you have to realize that you&rsquo;re buying its management too.



Consider the successes and failures of Apple over the last three decades. In the early 1990s, Apple was considered a second banana to Microsoft (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/msft-stock-quote/">MSFT</a>). Windows rolled out cheaply and on a massive scale as Apple clung to high profit margins and a controlling, proprietary outlook.&nbsp;



On July 9, 1997, after three years of poor stock performance and crippling financial losses, the Apple board of directors placed Steve Jobs at the helm as CEO and began restructuring the company&rsquo;s product line.&nbsp;



What followed over the next 10 years was a parade of Apple successes &mdash; the iMac, the iPod, iTunes, Apple retail stores and the iPhone. Apple took that popularity and ran with it, and its newfound success was almost entirely because of its new leadership. Steve Jobs may no longer be Apple&rsquo;s leader, but his legacy has shaped the company&rsquo;s C-suite and helped continue Apple&rsquo;s success.



Sure, there are stocks that succeed because they manage to cut costs and boost margins. But such a strategy can not keep a stock healthy and growing for long. If you want to invest intelligently, make sure your simple trading strategies include investing in smart leadership with a proven record of success and a willingness to challenge industry norms to get ahead.



<h2>5. Buy Stocks With a Clear Plan to Sell</h2>



You might think that the best plan when buying a stock is simply to sell it for a profit, but many investors run out and buy &ldquo;great stocks&rdquo; without a clear plan for what their investment goal is and when they want to sell.&nbsp;



This practice can be brutal on your portfolio. After all, what is a great stock? Footwear manufacturer Crocs (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/crox-stock-quote/">CROX</a>) was a great stock to buy in early 2007 at $23 a share &mdash; but only if you sold by October of that same year when prices were pushing $70, locking in your 200% gain.&nbsp;



If you held on a little longer, things didn&rsquo;t look as cheery: Crocs stock dropped to $10 around 2010. But if you decided to hold CROX until 2024, you would have been pleased. Currently, it trades for a much higher $154.74. Whether CROX was a great stock or not depends on your investing horizon and what you expected to get out of the stock.&nbsp;



If you don&rsquo;t have a general sense of your investment timeline, you&rsquo;ll be stuck in an endless loop of uncertainty. You might be afraid to sell at a peak because you want to see if the stock rises more &mdash; and then find out that you waited too long. At the opposite end of the spectrum, you might rush to sell the stock at a peak and then see it continue to grow after you sell.



Short-term traders who get greedy and refuse to sell can be just as bad as buy-and-hold investors who panic and sell too quickly. Many traders who sold off their stock when the market crashed in March 2009 not only locked in historic low valuations for the equities they sold but missed out on one of the biggest rallies in the market&rsquo;s history in mid-2009.&nbsp;



Whatever your tactics &mdash; simple trading strategies or not &mdash; keep your goals clearly in mind before making any purchase. Set a reasonable price target or holding time for any asset, and use this investment strategy to color your decision. Simply knowing that a company is a great stock provides little consolation if you sell your shares too early or too late to make any money.

Stock spinoffs remain popular with companies wanting to unlock shareholder value. By&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://investorplace.com/2024/07/upcoming-stock-spinoffs-should-you-pounce-or-pass/">creating spinoff stocks</a>&nbsp;that will trade independently on the market, corporations believe they can narrow their focus to core operations&nbsp;while&nbsp;the newly public company doesn&rsquo;t get lost in the shuffle of its parent&rsquo;s larger objectives.



According to an April&nbsp;Bloomberg&nbsp;report, there were&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://news.bloomberglaw.com/bloomberg-law-analysis/analysis-2023s-spinoff-deal-count-was-third-highest-in-10-years">211 spinoff stocks last year</a>, down only slightly from the record 234 created in 2021. There have only been about a dozen spinoffs of publicly traded companies this year but possibly&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://stockspinoffinvesting.com/upcoming/">twice as many</a>&nbsp;will be&nbsp;created&nbsp;in the back half of the year.



Below are some&nbsp;of the&nbsp;recent spinoff stocks that warrant closer scrutiny by investors.



<h2>Grail (GRAL)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/gral1600-300x169.png" alt="Grail sign at its headquarters in Menlo Park, California, USA, June 11, 2023. Grail is an American biotechnology company. GRAL stock"><div>Source: JHVEPhoto / Shutterstock.com</div></div>One&nbsp;of the&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://investorplace.com/2024/06/the-watchlist-3-stock-spinoffs-coming-soon-be-ready-to-buy/">newest spinoff stocks</a>&nbsp;to hit the market&nbsp;is&nbsp;Grail&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a target="_blank" href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/gral-stock-quote/">GRAL</a>).&nbsp;Its path to becoming a public company was convoluted and filled with controversy, but it is a top stock to buy.



Illumina&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a target="_blank" href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/ilmn-stock-quote/">ILMN</a>) created Grail and&nbsp;then&nbsp;spun it out in 2016. Four years later it decided it wanted to own it again but Illumina failed to wait until it had the necessary regulatory approvals&nbsp;to do so.&nbsp;



The Federal Trade Commission subsequently sued the company&nbsp;and though&nbsp;Illumina won on appeal, activist billionaire investor Carl Icahn then sued saying the board violated its fiduciary responsibilities in making the acquisition.



Grail began trading on June 25 after the DNA-sequencing company agreed to&nbsp;shed the&nbsp;business. And there is a lot to like about Grail.&nbsp;There are only five cancers that&nbsp;have recommended screening tests and cancers responsible for nearly 71% of cancer deaths have no recommended early detection screening. Grail&rsquo;s Galleri blood test&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.galleri.com/">detects 50 different&nbsp;cancers</a>before&nbsp;they are symptomatic.&nbsp;



The problem is the Galleri test is expensive, around $950. It is also&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.galleri.com/patient/the-galleri-test/cost">not covered by most insurance providers</a>. Grail stock is down 20% since it began trading at $18.35 per share. There is obviously tremendous long-term growth potential though near-term GRAL stock may feel some pressure.&nbsp;



<h2>W.K. Kellogg (KLG)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/kellogg-1600-300x169.jpg" alt="Kellogg's sign on their Canada's head office building in Mississauga"><div>Source: JHVEPhoto / Shutterstock.com</div></div>Cereal maker&nbsp;W.K. Kellogg&nbsp;(NYSE:<a target="_blank" href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/klg-stock-quote/">KLG</a>) is the second spinoff stock to consider for your portfolio. Although the breakfast daypart is relatively weak as other grab-and-go options take market share away from cereals, the Kellogg brand remains strong. Depending upon who is counting, the company has anywhere from 25% to&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.ibisworld.com/us/company/kellogg-company/9222/">30% market share</a>, just behind&nbsp;General Mills&nbsp;(NYSE:<a target="_blank" href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/gis-stock-quote/">GIS</a>) at 34%.



It was&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://investorplace.com/2023/10/3-devastated-stocks-down-50-55-to-buy-on-the-dip/">spun off&nbsp;last October</a>&nbsp;as its former parent Kellogg, which changed its name to&nbsp;Kellanova&nbsp;(NYSE:<a target="_blank" href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/k-stock-quote/">K</a>), focused on the more promising snacks category opportunity. W.K. Kellogg got the cereal business. As weight consciousness grows and drugs like Ozempic, Wegovy and Mounjaro&nbsp;proliferate, there is a concern over the&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://investorplace.com/2024/05/divide-and-conquer-3-stock-spinoffs-set-to-trounce-the-market/">impact it will have on business</a>. Kellogg&rsquo;s strategy for growth is twofold.&nbsp;



Premiumization in the cereal aisle will help expand margins from the current 9% to the mid-teen range&nbsp;to fill&nbsp;up the company&rsquo;s coffers. Improving its supply chain will help create cost efficiencies, also saving&nbsp;money.&nbsp;Having built up its cash balances, Kellogg intends to&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.fooddive.com/news/wk-kellogg-co-ceo-gary-pilnick-frosted-flakes-cereal-company-expansion/695497/">branch out beyond cereal</a>.



There is the possibility a move away from cereal negates the purpose of the spinoff but that was its parent&rsquo;s imperative. Kellogg sees adjacent markets as&nbsp;a big&nbsp;opportunity, particularly in branding.&nbsp;



For example, it&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/two-of-kelloggs-iconic-mascots-tony-the-tiger-and-toucan-sam-just-dropped-their-very-own-limited-edition-crocs-302108998.html">recently partnered</a>&nbsp;with&nbsp;Crocs&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a target="_blank" href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/crox-stock-quote/">CROX</a>) for a Tony the Tiger and Toucan Sam brand of shoes that&nbsp;was well received. Cereal is a consumer durable product and with W.K. Kellogg stock trading at 9 times next year&rsquo;s earnings, it is an inexpensive stock to buy for future growth.



<h2>Sandoz (SDZNY)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/biotechnologyepzm1600-300x169.png" alt="OLK Stock. Modern Medical Research Laboratory: Two Scientists Wearing Face Masks use Microscope, Analyse Sample in Petri Dish, Talk. Advanced Scientific Lab for Medicine, Biotechnology. Blue Color. KZR stock. RSLS stock. Best Biotech Stocks to Buy"><div>Source: Gorodenkoff / Shutterstock.com</div></div>Another October spinoff,&nbsp;Sandoz Group&nbsp;(OTCMKTS:<a target="_blank" href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/sdzny-stock-quote/">SDZNY</a>) has marched 50% higher since its separation from&nbsp;Novartis&nbsp;(NYSE:<a target="_blank" href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/nvs-stock-quote/">NVS</a>). The generic drug and biosimilar manufacturer is seeing strong uptake in Hyrimoz, a biosimilar for&nbsp;AbbVie&rsquo;s&nbsp;(NYSE:<a target="_blank" href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/abbv-stock-quote/">ABBV</a>) Humira, an arthritis therapy.&nbsp; Particularly after&nbsp;CVS Health&nbsp;(NYSE:<a target="_blank" href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/cvs-stock-quote/">CVS</a>) removed Humira from its national commercial formularies, Hyrimoz&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.biospace.com/article/sandoz-s-biosimilar-skyrockets-after-cvs-removes-abbvie-s-humira-from-formularies/">captured 93% of biosimilar growth</a>, according to&nbsp;STAT News.&nbsp;



Sandoz does face some headwinds in its generics business. Due to patent litigation, apixaban, a blood clot prevention therapy for stroke patients, was pulled from the Netherlands market. Yet biosimilar growth far outweighed the negatives.



First-quarter segment sales surged 21% year-over-year to $623 million, marking yet another quarter of double-digit expansion. Omnitrope also continues to show strength. The treatment for growth hormone disorders has been on the market for over a decade and was Sandoz&rsquo;s first biosimilar.



A strong pipeline coupled with acquisitions bolsters Sandoz Group&rsquo;s portfolio and positions it for many years of growth.
