    Nordstrom (JWN) was down 8.5% after the department-store operator was downgraded to Underweight from Equal Weight at Morgan Stanley. Nordstrom stock dropped 18% on Wednesday after reporting earnings.

  • [By ]

    Nordstrom (ticker: JWN) reported fiscal second-quarter earnings of 49 cents a share, ahead of consensus estimates at 27 cents a share, according to FactSet. Sales of $3.57 billion were up 101% from last year and above consensus estimates at $3.34 billion.

    However, there were some hints of discontentment in the after-hours session, as a couple of retail stocks reported disappointing earnings results. Both Nordstrom (NYSE:JWN) and Urban Outfitters (NASDAQ:URBN) lost ground, and what they said could cast a shadow over the idea that the vaccination-led economic recovery will inevitably produce strength across the retail industry.

    Sometimes, we all need a little bit of a cheat sheet to get us through the finish line. For this list of undervalued biotech stocks to buy, I’m going to elect the services of Intuitive Surgical (NASDAQ:ISRG). To be clear, Intuitive Surgical doesn’t rate as many (if not most) people’s idea of a biotech firm. Rather than developing therapeutics, Intuitive specializes in robotic surgical systems.
