From BI: The past year has seen no shortage of controversial stocks.
Hedge fund managers have culled their skill at taking positions, staging huge
publicity campaigns, and generating a lot of discussion around the stocks they
decide to bet on with high conviction – or bet against. As a result, quarterly earnings reports from
these companies are usually widely anticipated:
Best Buy (BBY) -
Sector: Electronics Retail; 52 Week
Stock Performance: -41.2 percent; What's Going On: Best Buy has had a rough go
of it lately, and its same-store sales numbers reflect that. However, there may
be hope for a turnaround….
Groupon (GRPN) - Sector: Internet; 52 Week Stock
Performance: -72.7 percent; What's Going On: Groupon's stock was under pressure
early in 2012 after its accounting firm said it had weak internal controls….
Zynga (ZNGA) - Sector: Internet; 52 Week Stock Performance:
-70.9 percent; What's Going On: After
topping out around $15 per share in March 2012 following an IPO in December
2011, Zynga shares have gone straight down to their current levels, around
$2.50 per share.,,,,
