Investors have three bargain stocks to consider. After falling by 20.5% on Jan. 31, 2025, Deckers Outdoor (DECK) shares are on sale.
The company posted third-quarter revenue of $1.8 billion, growing by 17% Y/Y. CEO Stefano Caroti said that UGG and HOKA brands drove gross margins to 60.3%. EPS grew by 19% to $3.00.
Deckers raised its 2025 revenue outlook to around $4.9 billion (+15% Y/Y).
Walgreens Boots (WBA) lost 10.3% on Jan. 31. The firm, as expected, suspended its cash dividend. The stock previously paid a dividend that yielded 9%, an unsustainable rate.
WBA stock pared losses on the day as speculators bet on Sycamore Partners buying out the firm. However, the chances of a takeover are low. Shareholders may prefer CEO Tim Wentworth to restructure the drugstore by cutting costs, closing stores, and improving profitability.
PPG Industries (PPG) ended its rebound when shares lost 6%. The paints, coatings, and specialty materials provider earned $1.61 in non-GAAP EPS. Revenue fell by 4.6% Y/Y to $3.73 billion. PPG stock sold off because the $7.75-$8.05 EPS forecast for 2025 is below consensus estimates.
PPG has restructuring efforts that would save $175 million in costs this year. It is also consolidating its European manufacturing business.
Investors wary of PPG’s prospects may consider DuPont (DD) or International Flavors & Fragrances (IFF) instead.
