L Brands, Inc. (NYSE:LB) is an American fashion retailer that owns the popular Victoria’s Secret brands, as well as Bath & Body Works. Back in February of this year, L Brands announced an agreement to sell the Victoria’s Secret brand to Sycamore Partners, but the deal fell through. L Brands then announced its plans to sell its majority stake in its Victoria’s Secret UK business just this past September. Based on the company's poor revenue and profit numbers in recent years, the possibility of bankruptcy seems very real for L Brands, especially as it continuously looks to offload one of its major brands.

The company is set to report earnings next week after the close on November 18 and that quarterly financial report will likely play a huge role in the future direction of its stock price. L Brands has beat expectations on half of its earnings reports over the past 12 months. In the company's fiscal fourth quarter of 2019, L Brands stock met its earnings per share (EPS) expectation of $0.02. In the fiscal first quarter of 2020 for L Brands, the company beat expectations by $0.02, reporting an EPS of $1.88. In the following quarter of this year, L Brands stock's EPS dropped to -$0.99, missing expectations by $0.27. Most recently, L Brands beat its target by $0.67 for their fiscal third quarter of 2020. The company reported an EPS of $0.25 instead of the expected EPS of -$0.42. As for the upcoming earnings report slated for next week on Wednesday, L Brands is expected to report an EPS of $0.06.

LB stock is currently up 84% year-to-date in 2020 and a massive 327% from its 11-year low of $8.00 on March 17. LB stock is sitting just a chip-shot off its 52-week high from Oct. 17. As for L Brands dividends, the company cut its dividend in the second quarter of this year. L Brands last paid a dividend of $0.30 per share in the first quarter of 2020.

Options traders are loading up on puts. The stock's 10-day put/call volume ratio of 2.62 at the International Securities Exchange (ISE), Cboe Options Exchange (CBOE), and NASDAQ OMX PHLX (PHLX) stands higher than 98% of readings in its annual range. In other words, this suggest that long puts are being picked up at a relatively faster-than-usual pace. Should this bearish sentiment begin to unwind, it could catapult the equity higher. 

That said, speculating on LB next move with options could be a prudent play. The stock's Schaeffer's Volatility Index (SVI) of 89% stands higher than just 20% of all other readings in its annual range, implying that options players are pricing in relatively low volatility expectations at the moment. 

LB had been in a consistent state of decline since peaking in 2015. However, the stock has almost inexplicably turned bullish in 2020, despite its terrible numbers and the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2016 L Brands' annual revenue growth hit a plateau and that is has yet to be overcome. L Brands went from producing over a $1 billion in net profits in 2016 to posting a nearly $800 million loss over the past 12 months. The company’s net income has slowly dwindled year after year, even turning unprofitable on the year prior to the pandemic. Fundamentally, the red flags are staggering and could give a fundamentals-only investor reasonable pause.

After starting the week strong with positive vaccine new, stocks headed significantly lower on Thursday as the swift uptick in COVID-19 infections has put a damper on investor sentiment The health of the economy appears to be murky heading into the end of 2020. In addition, U.S. Federal Chairman Jerome Powell said the U.S. economic outlook remains unclear. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI - 29,080.17) fell 317.5 points yesterday. The S&P 500 Index (SPX - 3,537.01) dropped 35.7 points and the Nasdaq Composite (IXIC - 11,709.59) shed 76.8 points for the day yesterday. The Cboe Volatility Index (VIX - 25.35) rose 1.9 point on Thursday.

While Monday will be relatively quiet, Tuesday will feature retail data as well as the import price and home builders indexes. Weekly jobless claims data is due out on Thursday, alongside the Philly Fed index the previous month's leading economic indicators. The week will close out quietly, as no economic data is on tap for the last day of the week.

All earnings and economic dates listed here are tentative and subject to change. Please check with each company's respective website for official reporting dates.

As new traders flood the market, a return to the basics may help novices understand the fundamentals of options trading. To better assist them, we will be running a weekly post about options education. This week, we will be diving into Fibonacci retracements, which are used to identify support and resistance levels, set target prices and place stop-loss orders, among other things.

But first, a little bit of context. Leonardo Fibonacci was a mathematician from the 1170s that discovered a relationship between numbers. Specifically, the Fibonacci sequence is a series of numbers in which each successive number is the sum of the two previous ones, as in: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, and so on. What is fascinating about this sequence is that any given number is 1.618 times its predecessor, and 0.618 times the following number. Based on that, the key Fibonacci ratios of 23.6%, 38.2%, 50%, 61.8%, and 100% were established.

When it comes to the stock market, traders use the above percentage ratios to draw Fibonacci retracements levels, which are useful in defining short- and long-term price trends, because they are based on the belief that stocks and indices tend to retrace their paths after making a large move in either direction. For instance, if a stock rallied from a defined bottom of $25 to a high of $50, a pullback to the $37.50 region may be its next move, retracing 50% (or $12.50) of its gain.

In other words, traders draw horizontal lines based on those key Fibonacci percentages to identify potential areas of support and resistance. Those percentage lines show how much a stock has retraced its prior move, and the direction in which it is likely to keep going. 

There are pros and cons associated with using Fibonacci retracements. While some have confirmed its effectiveness, others believe it to be an unreliable tool, as it is not grounded in logic per se -- rather, it is a numerical pattern. This strategy is also only effective to indicate corrections and reversals, and doesn't provide clear signals as others strategies often do.

Nonetheless, many traders have been successful with the Fibonacci retracement tool. That is why, if anything, it is important to be aware of it when deciding on how to invest in an equity.

The shares of Salesforce.com, Inc (NYSE:CRM) are down 0.2% at $253.60 at last glance, struggling to gain traction following a downgrade from Morgan Stanley to "equal weight" from "overweight." The analyst said the cloud software concern will need to focus on EPS growth if it wants to drive shares materially higher, given the company's current scale and mergers and acquisitions growth strategy. 

However, most analysts following the stock are still quite optimistic. In fact, 23 of the 26 in coverage called CRM a "buy" or better coming into today. Plus, the 12-month consensus price target of $277.34 is a 9.8% premium to current levels. 

This sunny outlook isn't all that surprising, considering CRM's 55.3% year to date lead, helped along by a late-August bull gap that sent the stock into previously uncharted territory. While the equity is trading slightly lower than its Sept. 2 all-time high of $284.50, the $230 mark has provided a buffer for several of its post-bull gap pullbacks, while familiar support at the 80-day moving average could also help reign in some of the stock's downward trajectory. 

While calls are still outnumbering puts on an overall basis, the equity's 10-day put/call volume ratio of 0.77 at the International Securities Exchange (ISE), Cboe Options Exchange (CBOE), and NASDAQ OMX PHLX (PHLX) sits higher than 86% of readings from the past 12 months. This indicates a much healthier-than-usual appetite for long puts of late. 

Investors have plenty to look forward to next week with plenty economic data that needs unpacking. While Monday will be relatively quiet, Tuesday will feature retail data as well as the import price and home builders indexes. Weekly jobless claims data is due out on Thursday, alongside the Philly Fed index the previous month's leading economic indicators. The week will close out quietly, as no economic data is on tap for the last day of the week.

Earnings season is beginning to wind down slowly but surely but there's a number of retail names slated to report, including blue-chips Home Depot (HD) and Walmart, and other retail giants such as Kohl's (KSS), Macy's (M), and Target (TGT).

Below is a brief list of some key market events and a few high-profile earnings releases scheduled for the upcoming week. All earnings and economic dates listed below are tentative and subject to change. Please check with each company's respective website for official reporting dates.

Beginning the week, Monday, November 16 comes with the latest Empire State Manufacturing Index data.

Tuesday, November 17 is jam packed with retail, industrial production, capacity utilization, and business inventories data. Additionally, the import price and home builders indexes are on tap.

October's housing and building permits are slated to be reported on Wednesday, November 18, marking another relatively slow day.

Plenty of data is due out on Thursday, November 19, including jobless claims data, the Philly Fed index, and existing home sales. Also set to be reported on is last month's leading economic indicators.

The week ends on a dull note, as Friday, November 20 closes out the week with no noteworthy economic data.

Macy’s, Inc. (NYSE:M) used to be one of the biggest department store companies in the country, but been been notably struggling for survival this year in part due to the COVID-19 outbreak. Macy’s will be looking to show some signs of recovery as it reports its fourth-quarter earnings next week on November 19 before the open. The extent of Macy's net loss over the past 12 months is almost equal to the company's total net profits accumulated between 2017 and 2020. Although many investors have written off most "mall stocks" as doomed for inevitable bankruptcy, there is a good chance that there will be some to survive. Those companies that do will likely see a major stock price correction to the upside, and Macy’s could very well be one of those companies.

Macy's stock is currently down 56% year-to-date, and off approximately 60% from its 52-week high of $18.57 set on Jan. 8 before the pandemic. However, M has bounced back roughly 69% from its 52-week low of $4.38 from April 2.

More broadly speaking, it's been call buyers who've been busy in recent weeks. At the International Securities Exchange (ISE), Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE), and NASDAQ OMX PHLX (PHLX), traders have bought to open 5.87 calls for each put in the past 10 sessions.

Echoing this is the security's Schaeffer's put/call open interest ratio (SOIR) of 0.70, which is ranked in the 2nd annual percentile -- meaning short-term speculators are more call-skewed than usual. Considering M is heavily shorted -- more than 40% of the stock's float is dedicated to these bearish bets -- it's possible some of these out-of-the-money calls are being used as an options hedge.

Macy’s has beaten expectations on three of its four most recent earnings reports. In the fourth quarter of 2019, Macy’s beat expectations by $0.07. In the following quarter, the first quarter of 2020, Macy's increased its EPS to $2.12, beating expectations by $0.16. In its most recent quarterly report for the company's fiscal third quarter of 2020, Macy's beat its target by $0.96. The company reported smaller-than-expected loss -$0.81 over the expected EPS of -$1.77.

It should be noted for dividend investors that Macy’s officially suspended its dividend for the back-half of 2020. The company has managed to maintain consistent revenue growth over the past few years, excluding 2020, which could be a sign of a loyal customer base. Macy's balance sheet isn’t looking great right now, but it is in a much better position as compared to some of its "mall stock" competitors. One of the keys for Macy’s will be recovering total revenue as quickly as possible without accruing much more on the debt side.

Overall, Macy's is no sure-thing for investors at this time. Recovery of Macy's stock price depends greatly on a large scale reopening of the U.S. economy. Hopes of an earlier-than-expected vaccine might be enough to get Macy's stock trending upward in the correction direction.

Jack in the Box Inc. (NASDAQ:JACK) is a popular American fast-food restaurant chain company was founded in San Diego, but has since expanded its locations to 21 additional U.S. states. Jack in the Box is due to report on its third quarter earnings after the close on November 18. JACK is only up 6% year-to-date, but has more than quadrupled off its 52-week low of $16.81 on --you guessed it -- March 18. 

The shares' recovery culminated in an annual high of $$91.52 on Nov. 9. A short squeeze could help JACK clear this new hurdle. Short interest has begun to taper off, yet the 2.98 million shares sold short accounts for a healthy 13.5% of the stock's total available float. At the equity's average pace of trading, it would take almost six days for shorts to buy back their bearish bets.

Jack in the Box has beat earnings expectations on only one of its four most recent earnings reports. Looking back to 2019, Jack in the Box missed third quarter expectations by $0.01. Expectations were once again missed when Jack in the Box reported on the fourth quarter of 2019.This time, the company swung and missed by a bigger margin of $0.21 per share.

When reporting on the first quarter of 2020, Jack in the Box reported a drop in EPS down to $0.50, while missing expectations (for the third time in a row) by $0.16. Most recently, in the company's second quarter report this year, Jack in the Box beat its earnings target by 33%. Jack in the Box reported an EPS of $1.37 instead of the expected EPS of $1.03. As for the company's upcoming earnings report slated for next week, Jack in the Box is expected to announce an EPS of $1.13.

Jack in the Box stock has a forward dividend of $1.60 and a dividend yield of 1.96%. The last dividend it paid was for $0.40 per share. The company started paying dividends in 2014. It has since raised its dividend twice, both time by $0.10.

Based on just our fundamental analysis, JACK is waving nothing but red flags for investors. The company's earnings history is one clear sign of inconsistency in growth. A look into the Jack in the Box's reported revenue and net income over the past few years reveals a similar theme of unpredictability. The company's balance sheet is possibly Jack in the Box’s weakest point. This is a major issue when combined with the fact that the company has continuously struggled to achieve consistent revenue growth.  

We thank and salute all of our veterans, past and present, who have served our country so bravely.We hope that you were able to enjoy a day of appreciation from all Americans yesterday in observance of Veteran's Day. The stock market stayed relatively quiet yesterday thanks to Veteran's Day, though sentiment remains strong following Pfizer (PFE) and BioNTech's (BNTX) upbeat vaccine news on Monday. Investors continued to ditch stay-at-home stocks in favor of stocks within sectors hinging more on a recovering economy. This caused the Dow to stumble in for a loss, while the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq both recovered from their losses during Tuesday's trading session.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI - 29,397.63) fell 0.08% for the day on Tuesday. The S&P 500 Index (SPX - 3,572.66) added 0.8% yesterday and the Nasdaq Composite (IXIC - 11,786.43) rose 2% for the day. The Cboe Volatility Index (VIX - 23.45) lost 5.4% for the day yesterday.
