Knobias, Inc. Announces Big Dog Holdings, Inc. as the SPOT of the Week in Its Small-Cap ClipReport
Knobias, Inc. (OTC BB: KNBS) announced today
that it has selected Big Dog Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: BDOG) as the SPOT of
the week in the Knobias Small-Cap "ClipReport."
Big Dog Holdings, Inc. develops, markets and retails a branded, lifestyle
collection of unique, high-quality, popular-priced consumer products,
including activewear, casual sportswear, footwear, accessories and gifts.
BDOG operates two business segments: (1) Big Dog Sportswear is a specialty
retailer of branded activewear and accessories via 181 retail stores,
wholesale and corporate sales, and catalog and internet business. For
9-months, Big Dog contributed 52% of revenues; 63% of net income; and, 48%
of total assets. (2) The Walking Company [TWC] is a specialty retailer of
shoes and accessories via 87 retail stores. For
9-months, TWC contributed 48% of revenues; 37% of net income; and, 52% of
total assets. BDOG's retail stores are located primarily in leading retail
malls and tourist areas.
The Bulls say ...
- Christmas Came Early: The day after Thanksgiving is historically one of
the busiest retail shopping days of the year and is often referred to as
"Black Friday." It's this day that many retailers exit the "red" and begin
realizing profits for the year. After years of this same pattern, "Black
Friday" came early for BDOG. Despite a difficult hurricane season, BDOG
posted $0.10/shr in net diluted earnings for the first
9-months of 2005. This compares to losses of ($0.09)/shr and ($0.02)/shr
for 2004 and 2003 respectively. An 11.8% jump in sales for the first
9-months may foreshadow good tidings for this Christmas Q4. The company is
on pace to see record sales of $175-180M and possible record earnings of
$0.55-0.65/shr, thanks to the acquisition of Footworks in Q3. Numbers like
these would produce low double digit P/E ratios at current trading
levels...Not bad relative to peers.
The Bears say ...
- Break Out or Break Down? Solid financial performance has propelled BDOG
into an extended, near 3-year, uptrend. For the past year, BDOG has been
range-bound between $6.00-7.50, only touching the $7.50 area 3 times. The
stock seems poised to breakout to levels not seen since 1999, but has a
tendency to struggle right here. Any negative chatter or gloomy forecasting
about the holiday season may slow any attempts for this thinly traded stock
to mount a charge.
