Bed Bath and Beyond seems well managed
Retail is in recovery, so I'm adding BBBY to hlep my portfolio recover.
It's always nice when a store you like to shop in becomes a success. Bed Bath and Beyond (BBBY) is that kind of store. I'm a kitchen gadget freak, so I love this store. I try not to be an impulse shopper, but as I wander the store I sometimes find bargains I didn't expect and can't pass up. Today I can't pass up the stock.
Same-store sales are up 7% year over year. The company is on target to add 40 new stores this year and another 40 to 50 next year. Margin squeezes have been offset by savings in SG&A so I think this looks like a well managed company. The price is on a roll.
