12 Consumer Discretionary Stocks Moving In Thursday's Intraday Session

Shares of TAL Education Group (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TAL#NYSE">TAL</a>) surged 23.4% to $10.27 during Thursday&#8217;s session on upward momentum, benefiting from an aggressive <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/09/41032804/chinas-stimulus-sparks-optimism-3-large-cap-stocks-with-analyst-buy-ratings">monetary stimulus</a> introduced by the People's Bank of China (PBoC).
What Happened: The PBoC's move included a 50-basis-point cut to the reserve requirement ratio (RRR) for commercial banks, reducing it from 10.0% to 9.5%. This cut, combined with reductions in both the seven-day repo rate and the 14-day reverse repo rate, is expected to inject around 1 trillion yuan ($140 billion) into the banking system. 
With additional liquidity available, banks will have more capacity to lend, which could lead to increased access to funding for both businesses and consumers in China. TAL Education stands to benefit directly from this influx of capital into the economy, particularly as it navigates a challenging regulatory environment in the wake of recent education reforms.

The Chinese education sector has been under pressure since the government introduced a series of regulatory measures in 2021 aimed at reducing the burden of after-school tutoring on students. These measures severely impacted private education companies like TAL, forcing many to pivot their business models.
However, with the recent monetary easing, there is optimism that consumer confidence and spending will recover, potentially driving demand for education services, particularly in regions where TAL has a significant presence.
What Else: In addition to the liquidity boost, the PBoC also lowered mortgage rates by 0.5 percentage points, providing relief to China's struggling property market. Stabilizing the real estate sector is critical for restoring consumer confidence, as the property market plays a central role in China's economy. 
A healthier housing market could lead to a broader recovery in consumer spending, which may translate to increased investments in children&#8217;s education — a key factor that could bolster TAL Education's business as families feel more financially secure.
TAL Education has been working to diversify its offerings, expanding into online education and other digital initiatives to offset the challenges from regulatory crackdowns. 
As China's economy begins to stabilize, the company is well-positioned to take advantage of the improved economic conditions and a potential uptick in household spending on educational services.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy TAL Stock</h2>
Besides going to a brokerage platform to purchase a share &#8211; or fractional share &#8211; of stock, you can also gain access to shares either by buying an exchange traded fund (ETF) that holds the stock itself, or by allocating yourself to a strategy in your 401(k) that would seek to acquire shares in a mutual fund or other instrument. 
For example, in TAL Education&#8217;s case, it is in the Consumer Discretionary sector. An ETF will likely hold shares in many liquid and large companies that help track that sector, allowing an investor to gain exposure to the trends within that segment.
According to data from&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, TAL has a 52-week high of $15.52 and a 52-week low of $7.34.

Why TAL Education Stock Is Skyrocketing

Top 3 Consumer Stocks Which Could Rescue Your Portfolio This Month

Shares of TAL Education (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/tal#NYSE">TAL</a>) have been struggling lately and have lost 6.8% over the past week. However, a hammer chart pattern was formed in its last trading session, which could mean that the stock found support with bulls being able to counteract the bears. So, it could witness a trend reversal down the road.
While the formation of a hammer pattern is a technical indication of nearing a bottom with potential exhaustion of selling pressure, rising optimism among Wall Street analysts about the future earnings of this education services provider is a solid fundamental factor that enhances the prospects of a trend reversal for the stock.
<img alt="1-month candlestick chart for TAL" class="chart" src="https://staticx-tuner.zacks.com/images/articles/charts/yseop/550/TAL_Hammer.jpeg" style="height:auto; width:100%" title="" />
<h2>What is a Hammer Chart and How to Trade It?</h2>
This is one of the popular price patterns in candlestick charting. A minor difference between the opening and closing prices forms a small candle body, and a higher difference between the low of the day and the open or close forms a long lower wick (or vertical line). The length of the lower wick being at least twice the length of the real body, the candle resembles a &#39;hammer.&#39;
In simple terms, during a downtrend, with bears having absolute control, a stock usually opens lower compared to the previous day&#39;s close, and again closes lower. On the day the hammer pattern is formed, maintaining the downtrend, the stock makes a new low. However, after eventually finding support at the low of the day, some amount of buying interest emerges, pushing the stock up to close the session near or slightly above its opening price.
When it occurs at the bottom of a downtrend, this pattern signals that the bears might have lost control over the price. And, the success of bulls in stopping the price from falling further indicates a potential trend reversal.
Hammer candles can occur on any timeframe -- such as one-minute, daily, weekly -- and are utilized by both short-term as well as long-term investors.
Like every technical indicator, the hammer chart pattern has its limitations. Particularly, as the strength of a hammer depends on its placement on the chart, it should always be used in conjunction with other bullish indicators.
<h2>Here&#39;s What Increases the Odds of a Turnaround for TAL</h2>
An upward trend in earnings estimate revisions that TAL has been witnessing lately can certainly be considered a bullish indicator on the fundamental side. That&#39;s because empirical research shows that trends in earnings estimate revisions are strongly correlated with near-term stock price movements.
Over the last 30 days, the consensus EPS estimate for the current year has increased 82.4%. What it means is that the sell-side analysts covering TAL are majorly in agreement that the company will report better earnings than they predicted earlier.
If this is not enough, you should note that TAL currently has a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy), which means it is in the top 20% of more than the 4,000 stocks that we rank based on trends in earnings estimate revisions and EPS surprises. And stocks carrying a Zacks Rank #1 or 2 usually outperform the market.
Moreover, a Zacks Rank of 2 for TAL Education is a more conclusive indication of a potential trend reversal, as the Zacks Rank has proven to be an excellent timing indicator that helps investors identify precisely when a company&#39;s prospects are beginning to improve.

TAL Education Could Find a Support Soon, Here's Why You Should Buy the Stock Now

<h4>Key Takeaways:</h4>
<ul>
<li>Before the restrictions, academic education contributed nearly 90% of Beststudy&rsquo;s revenue but the company&rsquo;s new extra-curricular courses now account for 40% of turnover</li>
<li>The company has also launched study tours to gain a foothold in a market valued at more than a hundred billion yuan</li>
</ul>
　
By Molly Wen
The latest earnings from&nbsp;China Beststudy Education Group&nbsp;(3978.HK) offer a lesson in using creative or critical thinking to find a way out of a crisis.
The company was badly hit by a clampdown on after-school tutoring three years ago, when the government acted to relieve study pressure on children. Beststudy was able to salvage its test-revision business from the cull, which targeted private tuition on subjects in the school curriculum, and then shifted towards offering enrichment programs and study tours to nurture non-academic talents.
Meanwhile, the policy environment recently became more supportive for education in general. In early August, China&rsquo;s government highlighted education services as a means of boosting consumption amid an uneven economic recovery, leading some investors to sense a possible loosening of the regulatory screws. Against this backdrop, the CSI SWS Education Index, which tracks training-related stocks, rose for nine days in a row.
Beststudy, a leading training enterprise in the south of China, benefited from the education rally. The company&rsquo;s share price has risen nearly 70% since the start of the year and investors got more positive news last week when Beststudy&rsquo;s revised business strategy helped to drive a jump in&nbsp;<a href="https://www1.hkexnews.hk/listedco/listconews/sehk/2024/0808/2024080801034.pdf">half-year earnings</a>.
Revenue for the first six months of the year rose 68% to 317 million yuan ($44.30 million) from the same period a year earlier, while adjusted net profit surged nearly 169% to 54.41 million yuan. Turnover was still a far cry from the 1.1 billion yuan logged in the first half of 2021, but the profit leap serves to validate the decision to focus on holistic education, sidestepping the official school syllabus.
Before the clampdown in July 2021, Beststudy specialized in providing academic tutoring for individuals or small classes, segments that contributed nearly 90% of its revenue. The regulations wiped out the tutoring business, but Beststudy was still able to offer intensive pre-test coaching for students who were preparing to retake entrance exams for high school or college. The company also launched a range of vocational training courses as well as enrichment programs for school students, covering skills such as critical thinking, computer programming, literature appreciation and outdoors learning.
Income from full-time test preparation services jumped nearly 20% to 124 million yuan in the first half of the year. The company started out in 2000 by coaching high school students for college entrance exams. Five years later it added similar services for children preparing to take entrance tests for high schools. The pre-test business, which survived the government clampdown, offered the company a lifeline while it restructured its business.
<h4>Exploring other talents</h4>
Faced with the regulatory crisis, other training enterprises shifted to e-commerce and sales of educational hardware. But Beststudy saw a future in promoting learning outside the confines of the school syllabus, with programs labelled as talent education. The talent-based programs were designed to promote skills in areas such as critical thinking, nature study and scientific enquiry with courses including &ldquo;Curious Young Reporter&rdquo;, &ldquo;Thinking Planet&rdquo; and &ldquo;Literature and Aesthetic Education&rdquo;.
These courses were among the first batch of talent products to gain non-academic accreditation from education authorities in Guangdong Province in 2022. In the first half of 2024, Beststudy&rsquo;s revenue from the talent segment rocketed 321% to 118 million yuan, and the share of total revenue increased from nearly 15% in the first half of 2023 to just under 37%.
The company has also launched study tours to widen horizons and facilitate learning outside the classroom.&nbsp; China&rsquo;s market for study trips has flourished in recent years, reaching about 146.9 billion yuan in 2023, a year-on-year rise of nearly 62%, according to data from iiMedia Research. The research firm projects the market for educational travel will reach 242.2 billion yuan in 2026.
Players such as Beijing New Oriental Culture and Tourism, an arm of leading education firm&nbsp;New Oriental&nbsp;(NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/edu#NYSE">EDU</a>), and various travel agencies have also stepped into the market. Study tours typically include lessons from professional teachers and instructors, giving a familiar brand such as Beststudy an advantage when attracting learners.
Keen to boost economic growth, China issued guidelines on Aug. 3 highlighting areas with the potential for higher consumption, including education and training. The directive said education institutions, scientific research bodies and social organizations should be encouraged to make high-quality educational resources available to a wider public. Market-watchers initially saw the move as a signal of easing restrictions on tutoring services. But the policy actually aims to improve the quality and impact of vocational education, while encouraging qualified institutions to provide tutoring on non-academic subjects as a public service, with no fundamental changes to compulsory education.
In any case, the education sector is repairing the damage from the last few turbulent years, judging from operating profits and revenues in recent earnings reports. U.S.-listed&nbsp;TAL Education&nbsp;(NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/tal#NYSE">TAL</a>) recently returned to profit and reported revenues jumped 50% to $414 million for its first quarter to May 31.
Beststudy&rsquo;s price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio stands at around 17 times, well below the 36 times for New Oriental on the Hong Kong market. At these levels the stock may be worth the attention of investors, as education-related demand is still going strong, outpacing overall consumption.

Beststudy Scores Profits By Thinking Outside The Box

TAL Education Group (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TAL#NYSE">TAL</a>) shares closed Tuesday down 5.30% at $8.58. Shares of U.S.-listed Chinese companies are trading lower after <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/08/40463780/whats-going-on-with-alibaba-and-other-chinese-stocks-on-tuesday">China&#8217;s central bank</a> left its one-year and five-year loan prime rates unchanged at&nbsp;3.35%&nbsp;and&nbsp;3.85%,&nbsp;respectively.
Why This Matters: The decision by China&#8217;s central bank to leave the one-year and five-year loan prime rates unchanged at 3.35% and 3.85%, respectively, is significant. This move indicates a conservative approach to monetary policy, suggesting that the Chinese government may not be aggressively stimulating the economy despite a fragile recovery. 
For companies like TAL Education, this can be problematic as it signals limited access to cheaper financing, which is crucial for growth, especially in a challenging economic environment.
The unchanged interest rates suggest that the Chinese government might not be providing enough stimulus to drive a significant economic recovery. This is concerning for companies across various sectors, including education, which rely on a robust economy to support consumer spending on services like tutoring and education programs.

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy TAL Stock</h1>
Besides going to a brokerage platform to purchase a share — or fractional share — of stock, you can also gain access to shares either by buying an exchange-traded fund (ETF) that holds the stock itself, or by allocating to a strategy in your 401(k) that would seek to acquire shares in a mutual fund or other instrument.
For example, in TAL Education&#8217;s case, it is in the Consumer Discretionary sector. An ETF will likely hold shares in many liquid and large companies that help track that sector, allowing an investor to gain exposure to the trends within that segment.
According to data from&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, TAL has a 52-week high of $15.52 and a 52-week low of $6.24.

Why TAL Education Group Stock Is Falling

Shares of US-listed Chinese stocks are trading lower ahead of upcoming economic data.

<h4>Key Takeaways:</h4>
<ul>
<li>YXT.com has filed for a New York IPO, aiming to sell investors on its position as China&rsquo;s largest digital corporate learning company</li>
<li>YXT is trying to sell investors on its big growth potential, even as its revenue contracted in this year&rsquo;s first quarter</li>
</ul>
By Edith Terry
When corporate learning software as a service (SaaS) company&nbsp;YXT.com Group Holding Ltd.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1872090/000119312524191095/d196858df1a.htm">filed to list</a>&nbsp;on the Nasdaq last week, the reaction was hardly one of excitement. One analyst said to &ldquo;avoid it,&rdquo; noting the company&rsquo;s declining revenues and history of losses.
But the muted response hasn&rsquo;t stopped YXT.com from moving ahead with what could be one of the larger IPOs by a Chinese company in New York this year. YXT.com plans to sell 2.75 million American Depositary Shares (ADS) for between $11 and $13 apiece, raising up to $36 million. A pricing at the middle of that range would give the company a market cap of about $650 million.
Despite its commanding position as China&rsquo;s largest digital corporate learning SaaS provider, YXT.com&rsquo;s financials have been relatively weak in the last two years. Its revenue fell slightly from 431 million yuan ($69 million) in 2022 to 424 million yuan last year &ndash; never a great sign for any company in a growth industry.
What&rsquo;s worse, the revenue declines accelerated in this year&rsquo;s first quarter, skidding 33% to 83.2 million from 122.2 million yuan a year earlier. Gross profit for the latest three-month period fell as well, from 77.6 million yuan in 2023 to 52 million yuan in 2024.
Those contractions aren&rsquo;t too surprising, since many corporations have begun reining in their spending as China&rsquo;s economy slows after years of rapid growth. Still, the accelerating rate of contraction this year will hardly reassure potential investors.
One brighter spot was YXT.com&rsquo;s bottom line profit, which turned positive in the first quarter of 2024, to 35 million yuan from a loss of 65.2 million yuan a year earlier. But even there, that profit was only possible due to a one-time gain, and the company continued to lose money on an operating basis. Its losses in general are narrowing, falling from 1 billion yuan in 2022 to 230 million yuan last year.
YXT.com said some of its red ink owes to an ongoing legal battle involving a publisher affiliated with the highly regarded Shanghai-based China Europe International Business School (CEIBS). CEIBS Publishing was established in 2007, in an agreement between the school and venture capitalist and CEIBS board member Eric X. Li, to publish business case studies and other materials generated by CEIBS.
In 2018 and 2019, CEIBS became unhappy with the arrangement, and in 2019 Li and other shareholders sold their 39% of the company to the holding company previously behind YXT.com, called Unicentury. YXT.com later absorbed the publishing company into its subscription-based corporate business. But when CEIBS found out about that, it issued a complaint and the case went into arbitration in Hong Kong.
While the arbitration is still ongoing, YXT.com removed CEIBS Publishing&rsquo;s finances from its own income statement as of last January. In the first three months of 2024, that resulted in 20.6 million yuan in lost revenue. If that figure was added back to YXT.com&rsquo;s first-quarter results this year, its revenue would have declined by a milder &ndash; but still not encouraging &ndash; 15% to 103.8 million yuan this year from 122.2 million yuan in 2023.
<h3>Customer Hit</h3>
The CEIBS dispute has also affected YXT.com&rsquo;s customer list. At the end of last year the company had 3,501 customers, including 200 Fortune 500 companies in China, in 20 industries, including consumer, healthcare, manufacturing, technology and electric vehicles. But the number had dropped to 2,545 customers by the end of March, after the elimination of 845 customers from CEIBS Publishing Group.
While the CEIBS dispute doesn&rsquo;t look encouraging, YXT.com &ndash; whose name means &ldquo;cloud learning palace&rdquo; &ndash; does have a more stable story to tell with its core subscription services for corporate learning. Most of its revenue comes from such subscriptions, and revenues from that segment grew from 81.4% of the total in the first three months of 2023 to 92.5% in the first quarter of 2024. Still, that part of the business is also contracting.
The company is also a leader in its space, with five times the number of subscribers of its nearest competitors. That could position it well for growth in a Chinese corporate learning market where digital services accounted for just 19.6% of the overall market last year.
The digital services share of the corporate learning market is expected to grow to 23.3% of the total by 2028, worth about 300 billion yuan out of 1.2 trillion yuan for broader market. YXT.com is also turning its focus away from smaller customers to focus on more profitable large enterprises.
Meanwhile, the company&rsquo;s cash is starting to run low, which may explain the timing of its IPO. It had just 219 million yuan in cash at the end of March 2024, down by about a third from 320 million yuan at the end of last year and 432 million at the end of 2022.
The company boasts an A-list of backers, including Tencent and Sequoia Capital, and raised $190 million in a funding round in 2021. That valued YXT.com at $1 billion at the time, meaning it has lost roughly a third of its value since then.
Anyone who follows China&rsquo;s edtech sector will recall that investors got badly burned after a massive crackdown in 2021, when the government banned most after-school tutoring services from K-12 educators. The resulting bloodbath wiped billions of dollars off the market value of companies like&nbsp;New Oriental Education&nbsp;(NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/edu#NYSE">EDU</a>) and&nbsp;TAL Education&nbsp;(NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/tal#NYSE">TAL</a>).
Some companies went on to reinvent themselves in completely different sectors, while others moved into areas like study abroad preparation and early education that weren&rsquo;t affected. Providers of education for adults, including vocational education and the kinds of services offered by YXT.com, were never affected, though private education in general remains a sensitive sector in China.
A potential peer comparison for YXT.com could be San Francisco-based online corporate training company&nbsp;Udemy&nbsp;(NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/udmy#NASDAQ">UDMY</a>), which entered the China market in August 2022 with local partner Sanjieke, an online education platform targeting IT professionals. Udemy is aiming for 2,000 customers by 2025 &ndash; still far lower than YXT.com&rsquo;s portfolio.
Udemy currently trades at a price-to-sales (P/S) ratio of 1.42. That compares with a far higher ratio of nearly 11 that YXT.com would be seeking if its shares price in the middle of their range. That suggests YXT.com it believes investors will buy into its growth story even as China&rsquo;s economy runs into headwinds.

Why CrowdStrike Shares Are Trading Lower By Around 13%? Here Are Other Stocks Moving In Monday's Mid-Day Session

TAL Education: Underappreciated Growth

<a href="https://investorplace.com">InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice &amp; Trading Tips</a>
The iShares MSCI China ETF (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/mchi-stock-quote/">MCHI</a>) has surged by more than <a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/mchi-stock-quote/">8%</a> in the past six months, suggesting that investors have gained renewed optimism about Chinese stocks. Despite having my reservations, I share investors&rsquo; current sentiment as I believe China&rsquo;s leading emerging market status provides it with an edge, meaning systematic support is likely.



Although highly lucrative at times, Chinese stocks can face severe drawdowns due to opaque government policies, unconsolidated industries and fierce sectoral competition. As such, I decided to embark on a journey to find three undervalued Chinese stocks with asymmetrical upside potential. Methodologically, my screening process emphasized fundamental aspects, valuation metrics and technical analysis. Moreover, I assessed the prevailing market sentiment to ensure alignment.



If you&rsquo;re as bullish about Chinese stocks as I am, then here are three worth considering.



<h2>Alibaba (BABA)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/baba1600h-300x169.jpg" alt="Zombies and Bears Beware, Alibaba Stock Will Still Defeat You!"><div>Source: Shutterstock</div></div>Alibaba&rsquo;s (NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/baba-stock-quote/">BABA</a>) stock looks like a classic &ldquo;buy the dip&rdquo; opportunity, whereby a divergence between the company&rsquo;s fundamentals and stock performance has occurred. 



BABA stock has shed about 10% of its market value in the past twelve months. Nevertheless, Alibaba&rsquo;s operating performance remained robust. For example, it recently surpassed its fourth-quarter revenue estimate by <a href="https://seekingalpha.com/pr/19723781-alibaba-group-announces-march-quarter-2024-and-fiscal-year-2024-results?hasComeFromMpArticle=false">$256.74 million</a>, proving its secular value proposition.



Furthermore, Alibaba&rsquo;s segmental growth remains intact. As communicated by its fourth-quarter results, Alibaba&rsquo;s e-commerce segment grew by an additional <a href="https://seekingalpha.com/news/4105667-alibaba-group-in-charts-e-commerce-and-logistics-business-revenue-maintains-yy-double-digit-growth-in-fq4">45.1%</a> year-over-year (YoY), while its logistics segment advanced by 29.8%. The aforementioned segments comprise a hefty part of Alibaba&rsquo;s revenue mix, providing a reasonable basis to conclude that Alibaba&rsquo;s growth story remains intact.



It must be known that BABA stock isn&rsquo;t a risk-free asset. The company faces numerous challenges, such as trade disputes between the Eastern and Western parts of the world. Additionally, Alibaba&rsquo;s operating profit margin of <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/BABA/key-statistics/">8.5%</a> seems quite narrow. Nevertheless, given the above-mentioned factors, I think BABA stock presents a buying opportunity, especially as it currently possesses a forward price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of merely 8.91x!



<h2>PDD Holdings (PDD)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/pdd1600-300x169.png" alt="Man holding a mobile with PinDuoDuo (PDD) logo at horizontal composition."><div>Source: Freer / Shutterstock.com</div></div>You&rsquo;ve come to the right place if you&rsquo;re looking for a diversified e-commerce player with proven results. PDD Holdings&rsquo; (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/pdd-stock-quote/" target="_blank">PDD</a>) e-commerce portfolio functions in critical end markets, including agriculture, food and beverages, household appliances and apparel, to name a few. Although debatable, I believe the firm&rsquo;s broad end-market exposure presents an abundance of synergies, allowing for sustainable top-line growth and cost structure improvements.



PDD Holdings is a firm favorite at Goldman Sachs. The bank <a href="https://www.sahmcapital.com/news/content/pdd-stock-soars-as-goldman-sachs-upgrades-stock-on-improved-temu-economics-2024-05-24" target="_blank">recently upgraded</a> the stock to Buy from its previous Hold rating based on PDD Holdings&rsquo; resilient revenue growth and comprehensive unit economics. I agree with Goldman&rsquo;s stance. In fact, the company&rsquo;s unitary efficiency is echoed by PDD stock&rsquo;s return on common equity (ROE) ratio of <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/PDD/key-statistics/" target="_blank">46.3%</a>.



Furthermore, PDD Stock&rsquo;s capital markets-based prospects look in good shape. For instance, PDD stock has a price-to-earnings-growth ratio of only 0.52x, suggesting it is a growth-at-a-reasonable price (GARP) opportunity. Additionally, PDD stock&rsquo;s relative strength index (RSI) is hovering in the low <a href="https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/PDD/momentum/performance" target="_blank">40s</a>, adding substance to a bullish argument from a technical vantage point.



<h2>TAL Education Group (TAL)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/education1600b-300x169.jpg" alt="GNS stock: a child in front of a laptop taking notes while viewing an online class"><div>Source: Shutterstock</div></div>TAL Education Group (NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/tal-stock-quote/">TAL</a>) is one of the pioneers of online education in China. The company was founded in the early <a href="https://www.forbes.com/companies/tal-education-group/#:~:text=The%20company%20was%20founded%20by,is%20headquartered%20in%20Beijing%2C%20China.">2000s</a>, but it only sprung to life recently amid a boom in technological uptake among primary and secondary school learners. 



Even though it has embedded risks, key indicators suggest that TAL stock is an excellent buy after declining by approximately 15% in the past six months. For example, the company recently delivered a telling fourth-quarter earnings report that communicated <a href="https://seekingalpha.com/news/4093825-tal-education-non-gaap-epads-of-008-beats-by-006-revenue-of-4296m-beats-by-451m">$429.6 million</a> in revenue, a 59.7% year-over-year increase. Moreover, TAL maintains a strong cash position of around $3.3 billion, allowing it to scale its capacity in the following years.



Lastly, TAL stock has a price-to-sales ratio of <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/TAL/key-statistics/">4.4x</a>, which I deem low, given the company&rsquo;s illustrious growth and its exposure to an industry set to expand at an annualized rate of <a href="https://www.technavio.com/report/k-12-online-education-market-industry-in-china-analysis">15.65%</a> until 2028.



After considering its salient features, I conclude that I am bullish about TAL stock&rsquo;s prospects!

The 3 Most Undervalued Chinese Stocks to Buy in July 2024

<a href="https://investorplace.com">InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice &amp; Trading Tips</a>
Death cross stocks &ndash; on the surface, the title sounds incredibly menacing. However, it may be one of the more misunderstood concepts. By the end of this short introduction, you&rsquo;ll view this indicator in a more nuanced manner.



Simply put, the death cross signal flashes when a shorter-term moving average (typically the 50-day moving average) slips below the longer-term average (usually the 200 DMA). What it indicates is that more recent price action has been volatile compared to the longer-running dynamic. Some might reasonably assume that this is a signal to avoid the impacted equities. However, they could also be contrarian stocks.



Established publicly traded enterprises tend to follow an ebb and flow; that is, they cycle through periods of undervaluation and overvaluation. The death cross is really saying that the pricing is below historical averages (relatively undervalued). So long as the fundamentals are robust, these death cross stocks should be contrarian upside opportunities.



<h2>CoreCivic (CXW)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/cxw-stock1600-300x169.png" alt="Sign for privately owned Core Civic Detention Center in Otay Mesa, where San Diego County's illegal immigrants are held as they go through the legal process."><div>Source: Simone Hogan / Shutterstock.com</div></div>I&rsquo;m going to be upfront: I didn&rsquo;t like private-prison operator CoreCivic (NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/cxw-stock-quote/">CXW</a>) following the disastrous Republican response to this year&rsquo;s State of the Union address. President Joe Biden &ndash; while flubbing a few lines &ndash; seemed, well, presidential. That aura quickly faded though, when, Biden suffered what may be a catastrophic first debate. To reference the memes, it certainly seems like it&rsquo;s &ldquo;Joe-ver.&rdquo;



The market didn&rsquo;t respond well to CXW stock last month, sending it into the weeds. Following the debate, sentiment started to pick up significantly. However, in the technical charts, CoreCivic is about to incur the &ldquo;dreaded&rdquo; death cross. Fundamentally, I would view this as a contrarian indicator. Again, sentiment has picked up.



In addition, the Republicans have an easy road to the White House. One of former President Donald Trump&rsquo;s key agendas is immigration: no more undocumented workers. The harsh crackdown that is about to happen may bode well for CoreCivic&rsquo;s business. It&rsquo;s an ugly thing to say, I get it. However, it&rsquo;s the reality. Thus, CXW ranks among the death cross stocks to consider.



<h2>Medtronic (MDT)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/mdt-stock-1-300x169.jpg" alt="Medtronic (MDT) sign outside office building representing healthcare stocks"><div>Source: JHVEPhoto / Shutterstock.com</div></div>One of the top medical device firms, Medtronic (NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/mdt-stock-quote/">MDT</a>) specializes in a wide range of advanced solutions, from implantable cardiac pacemakers to insulin pumps for the purposes of diabetes management. While relevant, that alone won&rsquo;t guarantee anything on the Street. MDT finds itself down about 6% year-to-date and 10% down in the past 52 weeks. Technically, it&rsquo;s one of the death cross stocks.



However, speculators may want to give Medtronic a second look. In terms of the financials, it&rsquo;s doing alright. In the past four quarters, the company posted an average earnings per share of $1.30. During the period, analysts anticipated an average EPS of $1.25. The performance yielded an earnings surprise of 4.48%.



Attractively, MDT stock now trades at 3.21X trailing-year sales. Between the first quarters of 2023 and 2024, this metric stood at 3.53X. Also, MDT trades at 14.37X forward earnings. In contrast, the prior year&rsquo;s average stood at 15.82X.



Experts see modest growth in both earnings and sales for the current fiscal year and the next. Thus, MDT is one of the contrarian stocks to consider.



<h2>Block (SQ)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/sq-1600-300x169.jpg" alt="Block logo over a background with former square logo. SQ stock."><div>Source: Sergei Elagin / Shutterstock</div></div>Financial technology (fintech) giant Block (NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/sq-stock-quote/">SQ</a>) needs no introduction. Formerly known as Square, Block primarily serves small businesses with its payment processing equipment and systems. This facilitation enabled small companies to compete more effectively with their larger peers. However, pressures against the consumer economy have negatively impacted SQ. So, it&rsquo;s just on the verge of becoming one of the death cross stocks.



However, SQ stock has rocketed higher in recent sessions. So, it might be possible for Block to escape the label. Either way, Block seems like an opportunity since it&rsquo;s still trading at a heavy discount relative to levels seen in 2021. With another Trump administration possibly imminent, this raises questions about broader business viability. Still, conservative leadership could be good for cryptocurrencies, one of Block&rsquo;s product offerings.



Also, consider that the market prices Block at only 21.69X forward earnings. In the prior year, Wall Street accepted a valuation of 30.47X. So, SQ has room to grow. That&rsquo;s enticing because analysts see expansion of the bottom line to $3.48 EPS, a near doubling from last year. Also, sales could see a 15% boost to $25.21 billion. So, we could be looking at one of the contrarian stocks.



<h2>Hormel (HRL)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/hrl-1600-300x169.png" alt="Hormel Foods Logo shown on a laptop screen behind a phone screen also showing the logo. HRL stock."><div>Source: viewimage / Shutterstock</div></div>Let&rsquo;s get into some of the riskier (but potentially more rewarding) ideas among death cross stocks, starting with Hormel (NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/hrl-stock-quote/">HRL</a>). As a food processing company, you&rsquo;d expect Hormel to perform well. During periods of inflation and high borrowing costs, consumers may look to save money. That means more of the consumer budget may go toward the grocery aisle (as opposed to fancy restaurants).



Unfortunately, that narrative hasn&rsquo;t exactly panned out well for HRL stock. Since the beginning of January, HRL is down more than 4%. In the past 52 weeks, it&rsquo;s off the pace by over 20%. Even in the past five years, HRL has gone nowhere except down, losing 24%. Still, it&rsquo;s possible that the bulls may have drawn a line in the sand back in February.



Technically, that may have been the bottom. Whatever the case, the market prices HRL stock at only 1.43X trailing-year sales. In the prior year, this metric landed at 1.62X. Also, its forward price-earnings (PE) ratio is 18.45X, lower than the prior year&rsquo;s average of 21.39X.



Over the next two years, analysts call for slow but steady expansion in the top and bottom lines. Thus, keep it on your radar of contrarian stocks.



<h2>Iovance Biotherapeutics (IOVA)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/biotechnologyepzm1600-300x169.png" alt="OLK Stock. Modern Medical Research Laboratory: Two Scientists Wearing Face Masks use Microscope, Analyse Sample in Petri Dish, Talk. Advanced Scientific Lab for Medicine, Biotechnology. Blue Color. KZR stock. RSLS stock. Best Biotech Stocks to Buy"><div>Source: Gorodenkoff / Shutterstock.com</div></div>A commercial-stage biotechnology firm, Iovance Biotherapeutics (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/iova-stock-quote/">IOVA</a>) develops and commercializes cell therapies for the treatment of metastatic melanoma and other solid tumor cancers. On the surface, Iovance appears incredibly relevant. As stated earlier, though, relevance alone offers no guarantees of market success. Due to losses extending back to early 2021, IOVA is about to become one of the death cross stocks.



That might not be as bad as it may sound to those unfamiliar with the indicator&rsquo;s nuances. For one thing, IOVA stock has enjoyed some strong sessions recently. Also, as InvestorPlace contributor Joel Lim mentioned, Iovance <a href="https://investorplace.com/2024/07/3-under-10-biotech-stocks-that-could-make-you-rich/">features two drugs in the market</a> and additional compelling therapeutic candidates in clinical trials. I wouldn&rsquo;t sleep on this idea.



Another consideration is analysts&rsquo; expectations. For fiscal 2024, they&rsquo;re targeting a loss per share of $1.38, which is a significant improvement from last year&rsquo;s $1.89 in the red. In the following year, Iovance could whittle the loss down to 73 cents per share.



However, the big catalyst could be revenue of $153.92 million in 2024, which is a gargantuan leap from last year&rsquo;s $1.19 million. So, keep IOVA on your list of contrarian stocks.



<h2>Kura Sushi USA (KRUS)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/sushi1600-300x169.jpg" alt="Two rolls of sushi on a platter."><div>Source: Shutterstock</div></div>Niche restaurant Kura Sushi USA (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/krus-stock-quote/">KRUS</a>) is an enticing idea if you like to speculate. First, Americans really love their sushi but there&rsquo;s a problem. It takes time to prepare &ndash; well, at least the good ones do. So, waiting for your sushi and other entrees is a hassle. Enter Kura. Basically, your sushi and other food items are rolling along a conveyer belt. You pick what you want.



Of course, you can special order certain items and these can be whisked directly to your table. The beauty of Kura&rsquo;s business model is that people can start eating right away while they wait for their favorites. That might actually save time for the restaurant operators: people get fuller quickly and leave the table. And that opens up a table for the next guest(s).



However, Wall Street hates KRUS stock, sending it down more than 21%. Maybe prospective investors are getting KRUS mixed up with Kura Oncology (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/kura-stock-quote/">KURA</a>). Stranger things have happened. Whatever the case, Kura the restaurant trades for 2.61X sales. In the prior year, this metric clocked in at 4.7X.



Analysts are looking for fiscal 2024 sales to hit $236.89 million. That&rsquo;s up 26.4%, making KRUS one of the contrarian stocks to consider.



<h2>TAL Education (TAL)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/online-education-1600-300x169.jpg" alt="a child takes notes while attending an online class. represents education stocks. edtech stocks"><div>Source: Travelerpix / Shutterstock.com</div></div>You&rsquo;ve come this far for compelling death cross stocks so let&rsquo;s end on a good one with TAL Education (NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/tal-stock-quote/">TAL</a>). Falling under the education and training services industry, TAL is incredibly relevant. It offers K-12 afterschool tutoring services, leveraging the latest technologies and tools, such as artificial intelligence and mobile apps. However, it&rsquo;s based in China and that&rsquo;s where things get squirrely.



Because many questions hang over the health of the Chinese economy &ndash; particularly with its consumer ecosystem &ndash; the concept of an afterschool tutoring service may seem superfluous; that is, households may be tempted to axe it from the budget. TAL stock is down more than 15% YTD, providing some weight to the concerns.



Fundamentally, though, the <a href="http://aare.edu.au/data/publications/2006/wan06122.pdf">Chinese culture values education</a>. Further, China is locked in a geopolitical competition with the U.S. and major western powers. Education is the way for the next generation to get ahead and that ultimately makes TAL stock a viable investment.



Analysts agree and this is why I&rsquo;m excited about the idea: they view TAL as a <a href="https://www.tipranks.com/stocks/tal/forecast">unanimous strong buy</a>. Also, their average price target of $17.78 implies almost 78% upside potential. It doesn&rsquo;t get much better than that.
