JinkoSolar Holding Co., Ltd. (JKS), Rite Aid Corporation (RAD) & More: Five Reasons Not to Worry This Week

Page 2 of 2

Next up we have JinkoSolar Holding Co., Ltd. (NYSE:JKS). These aren’t the best of times for solar companies, and JinkoSolar Holding Co., Ltd. (NYSE:JKS) knows it. The distributor of photovoltaic products has posted losses in each of the five previous quarters. It used to be very profitable before that, but life can be pretty hard when cash-strapped European markets are holding off on solar subsidies and the solar boom in China is meandering. The good news here is that the pros see a much narrower deficit this time around.

Bed Bath & Beyond Inc. (NASDAQ:BBBY) is the leading stand-alone retailer of home goods. From shower curtains to fitted bed sheets, the company sells a wide assortment of soft goods at its superstores. Homeowners and renters are feeling pretty good these days about improving things around the house, and that’s where Bed Bath & Beyond Inc. (NASDAQ:BBBY) is there for the simple solutions.

Finally, we have Rite Aid Corporation (NYSE:RAD) reporting. The drugstore chain surprised investors with a profit last time out, but you have to go all the way back to 2007 to find the last time that Rite Aid didn’t post a quarterly loss before that.

Rite Aid Corporation (NYSE:RAD) announced mixed sales for the month of March last week. Pharmacy sales fell on a per-store basis, but the rest of the store posted positive growth. Rite Aid Corporation (NYSE:RAD)’s expected to post another quarterly loss on Thursday, but it should be a lot smaller than the prior year’s deficit.

Cross those fingers, but know the fundamentals
Investors in these five stocks have a right to be excited. They are all improving their financial situations. They are worthy of the gains that the market rally has bestowed upon them over the past year.

I wouldn’t be uncomfortable owning any of these companies. They’re doing the right thing, regardless of Mr. Market’s mood swings.

The expectations may be high, but these five stocks wouldn’t have it any other way.
