Can Container Store Start 2015 on a Positive Note? |
In 2014, it was hard to find bad-performing stocks, as the market put in a sixth straight year of gains. For Container Store Group , though, its first full year as a public company was a disaster for investors, with the stock plunging almost 60% last year. Amid falling same-store sales and worrisome trends in overall revenue, confidence in Container Store's future prospects took a huge hit. Yet as shares have started to stabilize, though, shareholders hope that the worst is over for the company and that customers might return in force to take advantage of the retail chain's organizational products. Moreover, some enthusiasm both from the professional analyst camp and from an activist hedge fund could help support the stock in the future. Let's take an early look at what's been happening with Container Store over the past quarter and what it's likely to say in its earnings report on Thursday afternoon. |
Can Container Store get its earnings organized better this quarter?Investors are more pessimistic than they were a few months ago about Container Store's earnings, having slashed their views on November-quarter earnings by 30%. Yet even though the stock has fallen 14% since early October, share prices have bounced off their lowest levels since then. |
Just about all of the damage done to Container Store's stock came following its fiscal second-quarter report. On its face, 39% growth in adjusted net income seemed like a reasonably promising performance, coming from a 5.2% rise in net revenue. Yet comparable store sales were actually down 0.4% for the quarter, showing just how important Container Store's continued expansion has been to its overall growth. Overhead costs rose at a faster pace than revenue, and Container Store cut its guidance for full-year revenue by about $20 million and gave lower predictions of earnings per share than shareholders were looking to see. With comps also predicted to fall again this quarter, the stock plunged 25% in a single day following the announcement. |
Since then, Container Store has finally drawn some interest. In late October, a presentation from activist hedge fund Apex Capital highlighted its 4.5% ownership interest in Container Store, with Apex's founder exploring options such as encouraging faster growth, expense reductions, and even considering selling the company in a going-private transaction. With private-equity company Leonard Green & Partners holding a majority stake in Container Store, Apex will have to convince its institutional peer that its suggested plan of action has merit for the company. |
Moreover, some investors simply believe that Container Store's stock is cheap enough to be attractive. In November, analysts at Merrill Lynch upgraded the organizational-goods company, highlighting some of Container Store's plans to execute a turnaround of its sluggish sales and drive more customers into its stores. |
One long-term concern that investors need to consider is whether potential cost-cutting moves could endanger Container Store's renowned corporate culture. The company prides itself on treating its employees well, with generous salaries of roughly double the average in the retail industry. Many argue that treating its employees well leads to better results for Container Store, but without solid earnings growth, reducing compensation costs would be a tempting way for an institutional investor to push more money down to the bottom line quickly. |
In the Container Store earnings report, be sure to watch whether the company further reduces guidance. Although the fiscal quarter doesn't include the whole of holiday season, investors should expect to get a good read on whether Container Store had a successful time in a key season for the retail industry. If Container Store can't deliver an optimistic message this time around, its stock could easily end up headed downward once again. |

All applicants are required to have Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) checks prior to taking up employment. |
Although many educational welfare officers have degrees, requirements vary between employers. There are no set minimum entry requirements in England and Wales, but entry with no qualifications is unlikely. |
Some authorities now require a degree in social work. Applicants with a qualification in social work, youth and community work, or similar qualifications, may be offered higher starting salaries. In Northern Ireland, all new entrants must now hold a social work qualification. |
Initial training for new staff covers areas such as child protection, personal safety, equal opportunities, and offers an introduction to working with other agencies involved with young people. |
Further training depends on the qualifications people have. Many education welfare officers are encouraged to do a degree or postgraduate course in social work after entry. The other alternative in England and Wales is an NVQ Level 3 or (for most officers) Level 4 in Learning, Development and Support Services for Children, Young People and Those who Care for Them. |
A three-year degree or a two-year postgraduate course in social work is available at several universities, with some part-time options. Degree courses usually require a minimum of two A levels/three H grades and five GCSE's/S grades (A-C/1-3), including English and maths. In Northern Ireland, three A levels/five H grades are required for social work degrees. Equivalent qualifications may be accepted. |
Previous experience of work with young people is useful and often required by employers. It is possible to gain experience through voluntary or paid work - through Community Service Volunteers (CSV), youth work, counselling, social care, classroom support, mentoring, or crisis support centres. |
There are about 4,500 education welfare officers employed in England and Wales, with a further 150 in Northern Ireland. Demand for education welfare officers is steady, but competition for jobs is stronger in some parts of the UK than others. |
It is possible to specialise in areas such as working with children who have special educational needs, with children of primary school age, or in re-integrating children into mainstream education. |
Promotion is possible to more senior posts, such as team leader, manager or senior and principal education welfare officer. It may be necessary to change employers to gain promotion. |
Education welfare officers may move into related areas of work, such as youth work, social services, Connexions, the probation service or educational psychology. |
Build trusting relationships with pupils and their parents and carers. |
Know how to support vulnerable young people. |
Have maturity, determination and a steady temperament. |
Listen sensitively to people's problems and be able to deal with them in a sympathetic, tactful and non-judgemental way. |
Appreciate the value of education. |
Keep up to date with new laws and keep accurate records. |
Be able to analyse problems. |
Be prepared to give evidence in magistrates' and family proceedings' courts. |
On Thursday, 10th May I had the pleasure of presenting a summary of the economy at STEP Stirling as part of Stirling Business Week. |
It was a very interesting event, with talks on the implications of Brexit from Professor David Bell and an overview of how Stirling Council is helping to support business development in the area. |

There have been a lot of moves in the NBA free agent market over the last several days. The biggest news is the re-signing of Brooklyn Nets guard Derron Williams. Williams signed a five year 98 million dollar contract. Along with Williams the Nets have traded for Atlanta’s Joe Johnson and signed Portland’s Gerald Wallace to put together a pretty good trio. Now the big decision for Brooklyn is whether to enter the Dwight Howard sweepstakes. One of the rumors is the Nets would have to give up Brook Lopez, Kris Humphries, and promising guard Marshon Brooks to acquire Howard. |
Speaking of Howard, he told the Orlando Magic that he wants to be traded and prefers playing for the Brooklyn Nets. There could be some problems in making that deal. One, the Nets are pretty close to the luxury tax concerning their salary cap, and secondly the Los Angeles Lakers have entered the discussions. The Lakers could offer center Andrew Bynum in a trade package. |
It will be interesting to see where Phoenix’s Steve Nash ends up signing. He has two choices whether to go to a team with a chance of winning the NBA title or finish his career in his native Canada with Toronto and make some big money. At the end of last season Jeremy Lin was considered a lock to re-sign with the New York Knicks but that is no longer a sure thing. Several teams have expressed interest in Lin and it has drove up his market value considerably. A couple of the teams interested in Lin have stated that they will use a “poison pill” contract to make it tough for the Knicks to re-sign him. |
The NFL last week stated that they will change their blackout policy. No longer will teams have to sell every ticket to avoid a blackout now its 85 percent of the tickets available per game. This is a good move because it will allow local fans to see more games. Also the NFL is going to enhance the game day experience for fans at the stadium. The league is going to have free wi-fi for fans to use their portable devices to track other games and their fantasy football teams. The NFL’s Red Zone Channel will be shown in every stadium so the fans can watch every touchdown scored on Sunday live as it happens. The NFL is making these changes because overall ticket sales fell last season and several teams have exhausted their season ticket waiting lists. |
The Pittsburgh Pirates are tied with the Cincinnati Reds for first place in the National League Central and are ready to make the moves to make sure they stay in the race until the end of the season. Because of the Pirates poor record in the last decade they have been able to stock the farm system with some pretty good arms. They are now ready to deal some of the surplus talent to get a veteran bat or two. Pittsburgh as a team is only hitting .242 as a team. |

NZD/JPY recently broke through the two consecutive resistance levels – 78.00 and 78.50 – which coincide with the 38.2% and 50% Fibonacci correction levels of the previous sharp downward price impulse from the middle of January. The breakout of these resistance levels is aligned with the active impulse wave B from March. NZD/JPY is expected to rise toward the next buy target at next resistance level 80.00 (target price for the completion of the active wave B). |
