BJ's Wholesale Club Falls Short of Analyst ExpectationsBJ’s Wholesale Club (NYSE: NYSE:BJ ) faced scrutiny as it reported its Q4 FY2023 earnings, revealing revenue figures below analysts' estimates. Despite an 8.7% year-on-year revenue increase to $5.36 billion, the membership-only discount retailer failed to meet Wall Street's expectations, prompting questions about its future prospects.
Key Highlights of NYSE:BJ 's Q4 FY2023 Report:
- Revenue: $5.36 billion, missing analyst estimates by 0.7%.
- EPS (non-GAAP): $1.11, surpassing analyst estimates by 4.6%.
- EPS (non-GAAP) guidance for 2024: $3.88, below analyst estimates of $3.99.
- Free Cash Flow: $155.2 million, up 83.2% year-on-year.
- Gross Margin (GAAP): 18%, down from 18.3% in the same quarter last year.
- Same-Store Sales: Up 0.5% year-on-year.
- Store Locations: 244 at quarter end, increasing by 9 over the last 12 months.
- Market Capitalization: $9.62 billion.
Analysis:
BJ's Chairman and CEO, Bob Eddy, expressed optimism despite the earnings miss, highlighting a strong end to fiscal 2023. However, the company's performance raises concerns about its ability to sustain growth in the competitive retail landscape.
As a large-format grocery and general merchandise retailer, NYSE:BJ 's leverages economies of scale to offer competitive prices to its membership base. With an annualized revenue growth rate of 10.9% over the last four years, NYSE:BJ 's has demonstrated steady expansion. However, this quarter's revenue miss indicates a potential slowdown, with Wall Street projecting a modest 2.8% sales growth over the next year.
Same-store sales growth:
Same-store sales growth, a key performance indicator for retailers, remained flat in the latest quarter, signaling a deceleration from previous periods. While BJ's continues to expand its physical footprint, maintaining positive same-store sales growth is crucial for sustained success.
Conclusion:
Investors are evaluating BJ's Q4 results amid mixed signals. While the company exceeded EPS expectations, its full-year earnings forecast fell short. The market responded with a 2.5% decline and currently trading at $72.15 per share.
Looking ahead, stakeholders must assess BJ's ability to address the challenges posed by evolving consumer preferences and intensifying competition. While the company's solid fundamentals and growth prospects may still appeal to investors, uncertainties surrounding future performance warrant cautious consideration.
In conclusion, BJ's Wholesale Club's Q4 earnings report highlights both achievements and areas for improvement. As investors weigh the company's performance against market expectations, the question remains: Is now the time to buy BJ's? The answer lies in a thorough examination of its strategic initiatives and ability to adapt to changing market dynamics.
BJ a recession stock uptrending channelBJ continues overall uptrend with favorable PE discount when compared to COST. This channel has mostly maintained. An options setup in January for 75-80$ calls is a strong potential here as the next time the stock jumps above the channel the price target could be hit. RSI has a ways to go before hitting the usual historical top for BJ as well sitting at a modest 53 today. The stock is also remaining above the 20SMA.
Is $BJ ready to push higher?Notes:
* Strong up trend on the higher time frames
* Great earnings track record
* Basing for the past ~3 months
* Forming a cup and handle with the base ~14% deep and a flat handle
* Formed a bullish engulfing candle a couple of days ago
* Now it's flashing an early entry along with a pocket pivot
Technicals:
Sector: Consumer Defensive - Discount Stores
Relative Strength vs. Sector: 4.8
Relative Strength vs. SP500: 2.23
U/D Ratio: 1.03
Base Depth: 13.97%
Distance from breakout buy point: -1.6%
Volume 15.02% above its 15 day avg.
Trade idea:
* You can enter now as the price is close to its 50 EMA
* It's also breaking above the resistance area of ~77.5 with volume
* If you're looking for a better entry you may be able to catch it around $76.1 as that should hold as support going forward.
Crooked W//1.414This was looking like a bearish Crab, but for now price has stopped short of the 1.618 which is where the last leg of the Crab should land.
I have been seeing many Ws that are ending at the 1.414 so I added it to my fib table.
I do not know if it will stop here and have searched for the name of the pattern without success.
This could proceed to the 1.618 but the other 3 I have spotted with this W, did not proceed past the 1.414 as of yet. The others turned down at this point and did not return to go to the 1.618 as of yet.
Pocket pivots noted at the support level.
The longer term moving averages still look good which is unusual as of late.
Extension pattern and BJs beat earnings and has enjoyed a long leg up.
I am not sure if this will go down in sympathy with other retailers.
Costco has earnings on 9-22 AMC. Analysts have raised the target for Costco to beat which is unusual as of late. It is almost $1 over last quarters estimate.
Most Earnings I have looked at have been lowered since last quarter.
No recommendation/Watching for now.
$BJ ready to move higher from here?Notes:
* Very strong up trend on all time frames
* Great earnings track record
* Forming a double bottom base for the past ~8months
* It seems like this recent gap down may be forming a handle to the double bottom base
* It needs to hold above $66.35 as support in order to stay bullish
Technicals:
Sector: Consumer Defensive - Discount Stores
Relative Strength vs. Sector: 1.11
Relative Strength vs. SP500: 1.11
U/D Ratio: 2.08
Base Depth: 41.69%
Distance from breakout buy point: -8.68%
Volume 5.8% above its 15 day avg.
Trade Idea:
* You can enter now as it's showing demand around its 50 day line with higher than average volume
* If you're looking for a better entry you can look for one around the $66.35 area as that does seem like an area of support
* This stock usually has local tops when the price closes around 10.68% above its 50 EMA
* Consider selling into strength if the price closes 10.48% to 10.88% (or higher) above its 50 EMA
* The last closing price is 4.3% away from its 50 EMA

$BJ: Budding $COST competitor?Wholesale and membership models have really stood the test of time as we've seen with $COST reaching new all time highs. The Fed doesn't seem too concerned with inflation which could be giving the green light to some of the strong inflation players once again. Wheat threatens a breakout at the time of writing. Good luck traders!
My Test PortfolioThis is a portfolio I created using a Price^2/(Earnings*Sales)
After applying some basic filers (2B+ MKT CAP, AVG Volume>1M, & USA companies), I then calculated the P^2/(E*S) by Multiplying the P/E * P/S. I went long, the lowest 10 values, and Short the highest 10 values.
The idea here is that the market will experience a lot of rotation in the coming year from momentum names to value names.
