Hot Warren Buffett Companies To Buy For 2017

After seeing shares of Kohl's (NYSE: KSS) increase over 25% following a report of declining revenue and falling comparable same-store sales, I pondered if the market was perhaps too enthusiastic about the retailer.

Now, last year the company appeared oversold with an attractive yield and a commitment to cash distribution; thus, I initiated a position believing that the company's customer loyalty and e-commerce initiatives seemed strong enough to grow cash flows. One year later, with the market finally expanding the firm's multiple, it is time to answer the question: has the market over-adjusted and sent Kohl's too high?

The first alarming sign coming from the recent Kohl's run was that it seemed uninspired: The company's comparable same store sales fell 1.7% and the company's Earnings call suggested many expenses that would normally fall in Q3 will appear in Q4, which nearly explains the company's EPS beat. Headlines, such as one on this website, argued that guidance was strong, but it was hardly anything new, with management saying "excluding store closings, impairments, and other costs, we continue to expect diluted earnings per share of $3.80 to $4.00."

Advisors' Opinion:

• [By Brian Mathews]

  Arrow Electronics Inc. (NYSE: ARW) is one of the world’s largest distributors of electric components and computer products. During 2015, ARW struggled primarily due to unfavorable currency fluctuations. However, the company has been seasonal toward the end of the year, especially in Europe, and is expected to carry that positive momentum into the New Year. Arrow has packaged its core products and value-added services into a comprehensive solution that lowers the cost base over a product's lifetime, yet adds higher client engagement. With a diversified product line and successful current strategy, Arrow is well positioned to grow to a target price of $65.
