The Wendy’s Company (NASDAQ:WEN) is a popular fast-food chain that operates internationally and is also the parent company of Arby’s, another American fast-food chain. WEN has shown absolutely no growth in the past 12 months and is up only 4% year-to-date in 2020. Nevertheless, the stock has nearly quadrupled off its 52-week low of $6.82 on March 18. As the company reports earnings this morning, we will be take a deep dive into the question of whether the stock still has room to keep pushing upward or not.

The Wendy’s Company has a market cap of $5.18 billion and a book value of $27.81 per share. Its price-to-book ratio stands at 2.16. The company has a trailing price-earnings (P/E) ratio of 45.53 and a forward P/E ratio 32.15. Wendy's P/E ratio at the moment is 48.01.

Not counting this mornings report, Wendy’s has beat expectations on two of its four most recent earnings reports. The company's best performing quarter over the past 12 months was the third quarter of 2019, where it beat expectations by nearly 27%. Wendy's reported an earnings per share (EPS) of $0.19 instead of the expected $0.15.  Wendy’s went on to meet expectation for the fourth quarter of 2019 at an EPS of $0.08. For the next quarter (first quarter of 2020), the company missed expectations by $0.01, reporting an EPS of $0.09. Most recently, the company beat their quarterly target by 9% in the second quarter of 2020. Wendy's reported an EPS of $0.12 instead of the expected EPS of $0.11. The company has a trailing 12-month EPS of $0.48.

Wendy’s has grown its revenue by more than $250 million since 2016, but has not been consistent in its annual growth. The company lost more than $200 million in revenues in 2017 before resuming its revenue growth. The company has also been inconsistent with its net income growth over the past four years. In 2018, Wendy’s produced $460.12 million in net income, representing a jump of 236%. The following year, in 2019, the company produced $136.94 million, representing a year-over-year decrease in net income of approximately 70%.

Wendy’s currently has $338 million in cash and $3.81 billion in long-term debt. The company’s balance sheet holds $5.07 billion in total assets and $4.59 billion in total liabilities. The Wendy's Company's total equity stands at $484 million. Wendy’s currently has a dividend yield of 0.92%. The company has paid dividend since 1991. Wendy's last dividend payment paid out at $0.05 per share.

So, the company’s balance sheet isn’t great. Wendy's has very little cash as compared to the amount of debt. In case of another emergency, Wendy’s would find itself in a situation where its equity would turn negative from an increase in debt. In general, a company with such a long history should be in a much better financial position. 

Furthermore, Wendy’s has opted to continue paying dividends throughout the ongoing pandemic, although at a lower yield. This could be interpreted as desperation by investors. The Wendy’s Company is clearly in need of liquid assets, yet has refused to entirely cut its dividend in fear of upsetting investors and ruining its dividend history. These concerns could all be signs of weaker-than-necessary company leadership. Overall, investors should be cautious of investing in Wendy’s, especially with its current inflated P/E ratio.

So far today, the results of the U.S. election yesterday point to a presidential race that remains too close to call. There are still a number of consequential battleground states unlikely to produce results for the next couple of days. While the pre-market trading has remained surprisingly calm, most anticipate heightened volatility along with the election uncertainty.

Yesterday, major indexes were all higher amid optimism that a clear winner would emerge from the presidential election, thus avoiding delayed, or contested, result. This ended up not being the case as we know it today. Additionally, investors were also keeping an eye on the key Senate election that could result in major policy shifts. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI - 27,480.03) rose 2.1%, on Tuesday. The S&P 500 Index (SPX - 3,369.25) added 1.8%, for the day yesterday. The Nasdaq Composite (IXIC - 11,160.57) gained 1.7% yesterday. The Cboe Volatility Index (VIX - 35.55) lost 4.3% on Tuesday.

Stick with us throughout the day for ongoing coverage on the the election's impact on the broad market as well as on individual stocks.

Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ:EA) is a one of the biggest video game companies in the world. The company is responsible for popular franchises like The Sims, Battlefield, Star Wars, as well games under the EA Sports sector like FIFA and Madden NFL. Further, Electronic Arts is slated to report earnings after the close on Thursday, November 5, amid the stock’s current bearish form. EA is currently down nearly 20% since tapping its 52-week high of $147.36 on Aug. 6. Nonetheless, the stock is up 40% from its 52-week low of $85.69, and also up about 11% year-to-date.

Electronic Arts has a market cap of $34.61 billion and a book value of $26.95 per share. Its price-to-book ratio stands at 4.66. The company has a trailing price-earnings (P/E) ratio of 18.47 and a forward P/E ratio of 26.95. Electronic Arts' P/E ratio at the moment is 17.72.

When it comes to quarterly earnings reports, Electronic Arts has beat expectations on all four of its most recent earnings  reports. The fourth quarter of 2019 was Electronic Arts' best performing quarter over the past 12 months, despite only beating expectations by $0.01. The company reported an earnings per share (EPS) of $2.52. In the company's latest quarterly financial report, Electronic Arts beat their target by 80%. The company reported an EPS of $1.42, beating expectations by a margin of $0.63.  As for the upcoming earnings report this week, Electronic Arts is expected to drop its EPS down to $0.04. The company has a trailing 12-month EPS of $6.76.



Electronic Arts has had inconsistent revenue growth for the past four years, with the company oscillating above and below the $5 billion mark. Only in the past year and a half has the company grown revenue significantly. Electronic Arts grew revenue by more than $500 million in its last fiscal year. Over the past 12 months, the company’s total revenue has accumulated to $5.79 billion.

With the current fiscal year as an exception, Electronic Arts' net income has been stagnant at around $1 billion for the past four years. But, in 2020, the company has increased their net income by nearly 200%. Electronic Arts produced a total net income of $3.04 billion in their fiscal year 2020.

Electronic Arts currently has $5.96 billion in cash and $1.23 billion in total debt. The company’s balance sheet holds $11.11 billion in total assets and $3.65 billion in total liabilities. Electronic Arts' total equity stands at $7.461 billion.

Electronic Arts appears to be a well-run company with impressive numbers to back that theory up. The company’s cash outweighs its total debt by more than $4.5 billion. The P/E ratios are very good, especially when compared to its primary competitor, Activision Blizzard (ATVI). Moreover, although the company’s recent growth can be attributed in part to widespread quarantine, there is plenty of reason to believe the company still has a lot to look forward to in the coming years.

With gaming becoming increasingly popular, Electronic Arts is in a great position to take advantage for years to come. The company fundamentals point to it maintaining its recent gains in revenue and net income as it barrels forward into the next era of cloud gaming. Overall, Electronic Arts is great value play and should see decent growth in the coming years for those who jump in at the discounted pricing. 

iRobot Corporation (NASDAQ:IRBT) is a consumer technology and robot company based out of Delaware in the United States. The company is most notably known for their Roomba product, an autonomous home vacuum cleaner. iRobot has posted huge gains since the stock crashed in 2019. Right now, IRBT stock is up a whopping 68% year-to-date, but has the potential to still present a huge opportunity for investors.

iRobot has a market cap of $2.27 billion and a book value of $27.81 per share. Its price-to-book ratio stands at 2.85. The company has a trailing price-earnings (P/E) ratio of 14.76. iRobot's P/E ratio at the moment is 15.04.

iRobot has beat expectations on all four of its most recent earnings reports. In the company's most recent quarter, iRobot beat their target by 158%. The company reported an earnings per share (EPS) of $2.58, beating the expected EPS of $1.00 in a major way. For the company's next quarterly earnings report, iRobot is expected to drop its EPS by $0.21. The company has a trailing 12-month EPS of $5.39.


iRobot has had consistent annual revenue growth for the past four years. The company grew revenue by approximately $200 million annually between 2016 and 2018, but has slowed its growth rate down to about $100 million per year. The company has grown its total revenue by about 100% since producing $660 million in 2016. iRobot has produced $1.31 billion in revenue over the past 12 months.

iRobot’s net income growth has also remained consistent over the past four years, with 2019 as the singular exception. The company has grown its net income by more than 250% since producing $42 million in 2016. iRobot has produced nearly $154 million in net income over the past 12 months.

iRobot currently has $297 million in cash and $70 million in long-term debt. The company’s balance sheet holds $1.12 billion in total assets and $335 billion in total liabilities. iRobot's total equity stands at $782 million.

IRBT has been well over $100 per share in the past, while the company was producing less revenue and little profit. If the company continues on its current growth path, the stock should have no problem surpassing that mark once again, and at a much better price-earnings ratio. A price-earnings ratio of 15 is an absolute steal for a company whose business model revolves around selling robots for consumer convenience.

Although robot vacuum cleaners and mops may seem a bit boring as far as technology goes, the sky is the limit for iRobot if the company can continue innovating in this booming space. That potential alone should be enough to interest speculative investors. But, just in case that wasn’t enough for you, iRobot Corporation also boasts an impressive balance sheet with $227 million more in cash than it has in long-term debt. Overall, iRobot has huge potential upside for investors and comes with very little downside risk.

Today marks one of the most contentious Election Days in recent history, and in anticipation, the major indexes all notched victories for the day yesterday. Monday's rise also marks a notable start to recovery from the nasty selloff suffered last week. It still seems as though gains were capped for the day by investor concerns over a possible delayed or contested presidential election result. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI - 26,925.05) rose 423.5 points yesterday. The S&P 500 Index (SPX - 3,310.24) added 40.3 points for the day. The Nasdaq Composite (IXIC - 10,957.61) gained 46 points for the day. The Cboe Volatility Index (VIX - 37.13) lost 0.9 point on Monday to kickoff the week.

As for today... it's officially Election Day, traders. All eyes will zero in on election updates throughout the day. Today will also bring ISM Non-Manufacturing Employment and PMI data, as well as factory orders. Major companies including Sysco (SYY), Fox Corporation (FOXA), and Wayfair (W) will report earnings, too.
