5 Retail Stocks With Attractive Valuations
Zacks Investment Research | Nov 18, 2019 02:56AM ET
The holiday season is kicking off as we speak, and it’s just the time that retailers are waiting for. Now more than ever before, people flock to stores, both online and brick-and-mortar, because now’s the time for the best deals on most things, that fetch retailers 30-40% of their annual sales.
But looking at the retail landscape, it appears that most of the optimism is already built into prices, which is why I’ve picked a few that still have some room to run.
So here we go-
