Specific Stocks
Do you still feel that Crocs (CROX) is going to be the next Hansen (HANS)?
Crocs (CROX) is still being attacked by short sellers, despite being characterized by strong sales (up 99.1%) and earnings growth (up 77.4%). Now that Crocs is only trading at 8 times forecasted earnings it will eventually benefit from a short squeeze whenever an influential analyst upgrades the stock or it releases earnings again. The stock is now rated as a “B” in PortfolioGrader Pro and is very unlikely to grow up to 1,000% like Hansen Natural (HANS) did, however, Crocs could easily surge up to 80% or more in the event of an analyst upgrade and subsequent short squeeze.
