    NuSkin Profit Gleams

    DAVID SAITO-CHUNG, INVESTOR'S BUSINESS DAILY Posted 05:40 PM ET

     

     

    Nu Skin (NUS) recouped all of last week's 7% loss and also made a new high
    after posting a 30% jump in Q2 profit to 65 cents a share. That topped increases
    of 26% and 17% in the past two periods, and it beat Wall Street's expectations.
    Sales rose 9%. After-tax margin of 9.8% was the highest in at least three years.

    The company raised its outlook for the rest of the year, citing strength in emerging markets.

  • 2 Buys and 1 Sell From Private Capital Management's Mutual Funds NUS
    2 Buys and 1 Sell From Private Capital Management's Mutual Funds
    Seeking Alpha June 22, 2011

    Private Capital Management’s mutual funds have delivered a market-beating,
    phenomenal 15.5% compound return over the last 24 years since the fund's inception.  The company manages $1.6 billion using a value investing philosophy, and with holdings across the capitalization spectrum. Two attractive buys from its portfolio include Motorola Mobility Holdings (MMI) and Nu Skin Enterprise (NUS).

    Consumer non-cyclical sector: Buy Nu Skin Enterprise (NUS). 

    PCM added a new position, its first in this sector, by buying a new $21 million
    position in Nu Skin Enterprise, a network marketer of anti-aging personal care
    products and nutritional supplements under the Nu Skin and Pharmanex brands.
    Nu Skin is a baby boomer stock, and has been reporting phenomenal revenue and earnings growth every quarter. (18 consecutive quarters) The stock trades at a premium 15 forward P/E, but that is not so expensive given the strong growth and the promising outlook for the company’s products, and given the aging population in the U.S. and worldwide. Analyst targets are currently in the high-$30s, but as is the case with any such high growth company, one can expect these targets to keep getting raised as the company continues to beat numbers.
