While Most of Wall Street focuses on large and mega-cap stocks, as they provide a degree of safety and liquidity, many investors are limited in the number of shares they can buy. Many of the most significant public companies, especially the technology giants, trade at prices up to $1000 per share, while many are in the low to mid-hundreds. It's hard to get decent share count leverage at those steep prices.

CATO REPORTS 4Q AND FULL YEAR LOSS

Cato Corporation is an American apparel retailer with a low EV and strong balance sheet, but poor operational results. The brand's value proposition seems outdated and not ideal for the current apparel retail landscape. Cato's operational efficiency is low, and there is a potential for large cash losses if revenues continue to decline.

Cato's Operations Are Eating The Deep Value Play

The Cato Corporation, a fashion retailer, has seen its shares fall in recent months due to inflationary pressures and a decrease in revenue, profits and cash flows. The company's revenue dropped 7.1% to $192.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2023, with net income more than halving from $9.7 million to $4.4 million, largely due to a decrease in store count. Despite these challenges, the company's strong balance sheet, with no debt and $131.2 million in cash and cash equivalents, makes it an appealing prospect.

Cato Corporation: Still Attractive Despite A Worsening Of Fundamentals

The stock sports an 8% dividend yield, paying investors to be patient for a turnaround with improved consumer discretionary spending.
