Big Lots Inc(BIG)

Jun 02, 2023
Trevor Rose’s Insights - Trevor’s most-liked answers from 5i Research.

BIG's small size ($141M) and debt ($2.3B) and losses ($180M last year) do make it very financially risky. Bloomberg calculates a 'default risk ratio' and it is 27.3%, about as high as we see on a company that has yet to restructure. The dividend was cancelled last week. Cash flow was negative $100M+ in the last year. Its last quarter was horrible. We think it is very precarious and the decline makes sense based on the risk. There is a 39% short interest, and it could see a short squeeze one day, but this is not something to count on. We would not want to own a very small company with more than $2B in obligations (mostly leases) and negative cash flow.

Dec 08, 2020
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly This big lot retailer recently released earnings and showed EPS growth of over 60%. Although a higher cost structure player in the sector the company is on target to reduce costs by $100 million over the next three years. It trades at under 3x PE (compared to peers at 35x) and has a decent dividend. We would buy this with a stop-loss at $32, looking to achieve $58 -- about 25% upside. Yield 2.66% (Analysts’ price target is $57.78)

Aug 08, 2018

A fun place to shop. Technically it has formed a strong bottom at $40. A recent bullish breakout has him interested. It could re-test $46, but expects it to fill the gap back up near $53 and would use $44 as his first stop. Yield 2.6%. (Analysts’ price target is $46.27)

It has been a roller coaster. We are in the lower end of the long term trading range. It had a little bit of a rounded pattern and then when it broke it, it had quite a move. So far so good.
