Danger Zone: Jarden Corporation (JAH)

What happens when executives are compensated based on “adjusted EPS?” They will run the business for the sole purpose of increasing EPS regardless of the effect on shareholders. This week’s Danger Zone stock, Jarden Corporation (JAH) is executing a roll-up scheme that lines the pockets of insiders and Wall Street banks while destroying shareholder value.

Danger Zone: Proofpoint Inc. (PFPT)

As hacks or data breaches seem to occur almost daily, the cyber security sector is receiving significant attention across the globe.

Danger Zone: Marketo (MKTO)

This week we’ve identified another highflying cloud company that exhibits many of the problematic traits we saw in DWRE and SPLK. Revenue growth can only support a stock for so long and this week’s Danger Zone stock, Marketo (MKTO) has plenty of room to fall.

Danger Zone: KB Home (KBH)

As the exuberance lifting all stocks has waned, this stock has already come under pressure, and we believe it has much further to fall as EPS management cannot mask the lack of real cash flows much longer. KB Home (KBH) is in the Danger Zone this week.

Healthy Food Won’t Make Snyder’s-Lance A Healthy Business

Companies often use hollow acquisition-driven growth to mask deterioration in the underlying business, i.e. efficiency. This week’s Danger Zone stock fits this description to a tee. Add in extremely high profit growth expectations and it’s easy to see why Snyder’s-Lance (LNCE) is in the Danger Zone.

Expedia’s Acquisitions Are Destroying Shareholder Value

After greatly outpacing the gains of the market over the past two years, we believe Expedia Inc. (EXPE) could be the next momentum stock to see its run end. A mix of overvaluation and destruction of shareholder value lead Expedia into the Danger Zone this week.
