The double bottom pattern is found at the lowest point of an downward trend. This signals that the downward trend is weakening and that buyers are gaining interest. The start of the pattern is a new low during the downward trend and after this point it finds support which stops the stock from falling further. Once it has found support, it rises to a new resistance level. This sequence happens again and when the stock reaches its support level it will rise to the resistance level again, thus starting an uptrend.

Ruby Tuesday Stock is a buy & best stocks to buy now ?

RT continued its earnings surprise winning streak in July when it beat for the fourth consecutive quarter despite a volatile economic environment for the casual dining chains as consumers stay home to eat.


The company also continues with its expansion plans as it announced on Aug 17 that it was expanding in Hawaii by adding 3 new restaurants over the next 3 years, with the first to open in June 2011.



It also intends to open 8 to 13 restaurants in fiscal 2011, which it just entered, and 10 of those will be international locations.



Ruby Tuesday Surprised by 17.9% in the Fiscal Fourth Quarter



On July 22, Ruby Tuesday reported its fiscal fourth quarter 2010 results and beat the consensus by 5 cents.

[*Open 24 Hours at Austads*]

Earnings per share were 33 cents compared to the consensus of 28 cents. The company saw a loss of 35 cents in the same quarter last year.



Same store sales rose 0.3% at company-owned restaurants and fell 0.5% for domestic franchised restaurants.



The same store sales increase was the best for the company in the last 16 quarters which indicates its strategy for coping with the global recession appears to be working. Ruby Tuesday also reduced its debt by $33 million in the quarter.

$100 Bonus

Outlook Still Uncertain



The casual dining chains have been in a tough position during the last several years. But they have cut costs, re-tooled menus and price points, focused on updating restaurant locations and it seems to be paying off heading into this recovery.



Ruby Tuesday said it has momentum going into fiscal 2011, but that the economy was still "vulnerable."



The company is conservatively projecting same store restaurant sales at flat to up 2% for fiscal 2011.



Double Digit Earnings Growth Projected for Fiscal 2011



The analysts are projecting further growth in 2011. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fiscal 2011 has been holding at 85 cents per share but this is earnings growth of 16.4% over fiscal 2011.



Analysts also see Ruby Tuesday growing earnings another 17.6% in fiscal 2012.



The company will report fiscal first quarter 2011 results on Oct 7.



Ruby Tuesday Remains a Value Stock



I last reviewed Ruby Tuesday in May 2009 and at that time the company was fighting through "the most difficult operating environment" in the founder's entire career. What a difference a year makes.



It was trading at 11x forward estimates in 2009. Today, it is slightly more expensive, at 12.9x forward estimates, but that is under its peers who are at 15.9x.



The company also has an excellent price-to-book ratio of 1.3, again, under its peers at 2.9 and well-within the value parameters as its under 3.0.



Ruby Tuesday is a Zacks #2 Rank (buy) stock

Stocks to buy in May ( RT,LOW,AWR,ESL,ESYL )

1.Ruby Tuesday, Inc.
(Public, NYSE:RT) 11.50 a sahre / target price 15.00
Ruby Tuesday, Inc. (RTI) develops, operates and franchises casual dining restaurants in the United States, Puerto Rico, Guam, and 13 other countries and regions under the Ruby Tuesday brand. The Company also owns and operates two Wok Hay restaurants. At June 2, 2009, it owned and operated 672 Ruby Tuesday restaurants primarily in the Northeast, Southeast, Mid-Atlantic and Midwest of the United States. As of June 2, 2009, there were 229 domestic and international franchise restaurants located in 27 states primarily outside the Company’s existing markets primarily the Western United States and portions of the Midwest and Northeast and in the Asia Pacific Region, India, Middle East, Puerto Rico, Guam, Canada, Iceland, Eastern Europe, and Central and South America. On March 18, 2009, the Company acquired a Ruby Tuesday restaurant in Rockwall, Texas from a traditional domestic franchise. Credit Suisse analyst raised his rating on the restaurant operator based on an improving revenue picture and brand positioning.

Credit Suisse analyst Keith Suisse analyst Keith Siegner on Wednesday upgraded Ruby Tuesday to “Outperform” from “Neutral,” saying expectations are too low for the company.

“We believe a nascent recovery in the lower-income consumer can accelerate Ruby Tuesday's outperformance versus the industry,” he wrote in a note to investors. That in turn could lead to better-than-expected fourth-quarter results, he added.

“We continue to believe that the menu and brand repositioning are working, with Ruby Tuesday successfully driving trial and converting trial to repeat customers,” he said.The expansion was very good for the restaurant and they have struggled because they finished in time for the "credit crunch". However, I think that their balance sheet will turn around in the next few years to make them some great profits. RT is currently undervalued and should be making a rebound from a test of its 52 wk low. Look for a steady improvement over the next year or so.

2.Lowe's Companies, Inc.
(Public, NYSE:LOW) 25.88 a share / target price 32.00
Lowe’s Companies, Inc. (Lowe’s) is a home improvement retailer. As of January 29, 2010, the Company operated 1,710 stores, consisted of 1,694 stores across 50 United States states and 16 stores in Canada. Its 1,710 stores represent approximately 193 million square feet of retail selling space. The Company serves homeowners, renters and commercial business customers. Homeowners and renters primarily consist of do-it-yourself (DIY) customers and do-it-for-me (DIFM) customers who utilize its installed sales programs, as well as others buying for personal and family use. Commercial business customers include those who work in the construction, repair/remodel, commercial and residential property management, or business maintenance professions. During the fiscal year ended January 29, 2010 (fiscal 2009), it opened 62 stores, including five Canadian stores. Lowe's Cos. said Monday its net income rose 2.7 percent in the first quarter as people spent more money on home-improvement projects and bought more big ticket items.

The No. 2 home-improvement retailer raised its guidance for the year, though it fell shy of analyst expectations and shares fell in premarket trading.

The company, based in Mooresville, N.C., said it earned $489 million, or 34 cents a share, in the three-month period ended April 30. In the same period last year the Mooresville, N.C., company earned $476 million, or 32 cents a share.

Revenue rose 4.7 percent to $12.39 billion.

The results handily beat the expectations of analysts."While we are optimistic we will experience solid demand through the balance of the year, we view 2010 as a year of transition for our industry," he said in a statement.

Revenue at stores open at least a year rose 2.4 percent in the quarter. That's a key figure for retailers because it measures growth at existing stores, rather than new ones.

The company opened 11 stores in the quarter to finish with 1,721 in North America.

For the second quarter and full year, Lowe's said it expects revenue to rise between 5 percent and 7 percent over the prior year and revenue at stores open at least a year to grow between 2 percent and 4 percent. Previously for the year, the company expected sales to rise between 4 percent and 6 percent, and revenue at stores open at least a year to increase 1 percent to 3 percent.

The company expects second-quarter earnings per share to range from 57 cents to 59 cents, shy of the 62 cents a share analysts expect.Recession has everyone making things last as long as possible. How better to make things last than to invest in your own home? Seems as we come out of this recession home improvement companies like LOW for the long term play.My anticipation of investors and home buyers return to real estate and home improvement on the 2yr to 4yr time horizon may bring along for the ride the big box home improvement retailers. Buy, on the dips down today ......

The Company also rents a line of forming and shoring systems.Likely dead money for the next year, sales for last quarter flat on a year-to-year basis, but at current $.57 putting in CAPs as a long term contrarian play. Cement business will obviously be challenging in 2009, but company did announce a debt restoring that is expected to save .15-.20 cents per share - that should help put a floor in here near current price level once its understood by the market. Likely market outperforming for patient investors looking for LT cap gains.

3. Ruby Tuesday ( RT ) 1.57 A Share As Of 12/25/2008

However, I think that their balance sheet will turn around in the next few years to make them some great profits.Ruby's is way oversold and undervalued. Simple Fresh American fare at great prices, and exceptional service. The new stores are modern & attractive with tablecloths, and trendy furnishings. The new menu is great, and the salad bar is brimming with all of the things a health conscious person would salivate over. The menu includes all of the things customers have come to expect, and a host of other delights for the more sophisticated patron. This chain is stepping up from its peers like Chili's, Bennigans, and Applebee's...by providing a nicer dining experience at about the same cost. During these challenging economic times, expect RT to increase market share and margins. This time RT management has hit the bulls eye .RT will recover, they provide a variety of organic and natural foods as part of their dinners and salad bar that I think as the "Green" movement continues, more people are likely to go there and eat. Also, this is a dividend paying company and they are down near a 10 year low in price.with all the new money spent , wisely new menu and decor , two thumbs up ! great buy at this 52 week low , buy, buy, buy ! This is a long term play ! Target Price 15.00 by 2010 & 25.00 a share by 2011 !

2. ( MCD ) McDonald's 63.63 a share , my target price 75.00 by year end.
McDonald's has done a Great job of expanding sales to an international market and has expanded their menu as well. I also expect fast food to be a good investment as the unemployment rate and inflation increase. Once commodity prices drop, this company should earn even more. also they done a get job hedging against food inflation.MCD has great upside potential for next quarter from Olympic earnings.Strong company, pays dividend, and good to own during recession/inflation and during bull markets. Good stock to own as you diversify your portfolio. Another great long term play !! BUY,BUY,BUY !!!!!!
