Mon, 20 May 2013 14:59:36 -0400

It seems that it’s not just the stock market that is firing on all cylinders, breaking record after record. Last week, Christie’s marquee post-War and contemporary art sale fetched a record $495 million, with more than nine works selling for over $10 million. Amid a stagnating global economy and high unemployment, the ultra-rich are raising the stakes on so-called alternative investments like art and real estate, prompting a prominent Christie’s executive to speak of “a new era in the market.”

Coach Is No Longer Cheap At $60

Mon, 13 May 2013 17:14:57 -0400

Quick Take Coach’s stock price has jumped by more than 15% after the release of its latest quarterly earnings. We estimate Coach’s total sales to grow at 6-7% over our forecast period led by rapid sales growth in China and other countries (except Japan) coupled with single-digit growth in North America. Coach looks fully valued based on our expected growth rates for its key businesses. Coach’s profits are also estimated to decline in the short term on account of increased SG&A expenses due to the acquisition of distributor businesses in international markets. Coach Inc is a leading American marketer of luxury handbags and other fashion accessories. Its stock price has appreciated by more than 15% since it released its latest earnings report on April 23. Investors were encouraged by the company’s better-than-expected performance in the North American market, where sales rose by 7% annually with a 1% increase in comparable store sales. This follows last quarter’s earnings that showed a slight decline in its largest market, and so the return to growth was an encouraging sign.
