Nu Skin Enterprises Inc (NUS)

[Level2Me]

Beginning to do better. Excited about the upcoming ER

[Level2Me]

Nice rebounding. Still on the sidelines though.

[Level2Me]

No posts for years here. Fell below $10 for the first time in Years. Value territory?

[r clarke]

Has moved up nicely since March.

.. does it keep going, and if so whats the catalyst.

Company has crazy history.

Harry has posted Charts of the Day video on NUS at TheTechTrader site noting: Nu Skin Enterprises Inc. (NUS) had a big breakout on Thursday, up 4.21 to 44.90, or 10%, on 3 million shares. A big declining topsline was broken recently, and the inverse neckline was broken on Thursday. Perhaps we’re going to see a test of 49.90-50 coming up.

[Level2Me]

Bad report - goes up. Good report - goes down. Go figure.

P.s. still think $14 are not out of the question here...

[Level2Me]

Decent volume today. Around 40% up since lows of last month.

[Level2Me]

Closed the gap. Going back down to sub-25?

[Level2Me]

Bouncing right back up.

[lovepenyland]

Thanks bro.

[Level2Me]

Crappy annual report. Missed on all levels -- revenue, YoY, QoQ etc.
Bad guidance too.

However, I do see couple of positives:
1. They repurchased about 5% of O/S last year and probably will continue
2. Number of so-called 'sales leaders' increased slightly, or at least stopped dropping. Sales leaders generate majority of sales through their groups (they have a $2000-3000 requirement) which points to an increased revenues. Not immediately, but eventually.


I do plan on buying if this dips below $20

[lovepenyland]

Why this tock go down today bro? Thanks

[Level2Me]

Holy moly!
I guess my prediction of $14/share can come true in the next couple of months...

[Level2Me]

you still hanging onto your $33's?

[Level2Me]

Just got an email from Nuskin
Beginning November 1st, pricing for both online and ADR shipping will decrease for orders up to $50. Shipping will remain FREE for orders over $500.

It's about time. Last couple emails on the subject I received were price hikes. Even though gas prices have dropped significantly!
Maybe now good carma will be on your side

[Level2Me]

At today's close of $37+ your entry looks impeccable. Congrats.
I am, however, looking forward to see the number of sales leaders in the latest ER. If the number dropped from last Q, you know that this quarter's sales will drop too. It's as simple as that.

[Wifesmoney]

Got in at 33 what ya think

[Level2Me]

Back to low 40's... my price target of 14 still stands. I expect revenues to keep dropping because numbers of sales leaders keeps shrinking...

[Level2Me]

Two days in a row dipping below $50...

[Level2Me]

NUS, you gotta make up your mind -- either go up or down

[Level2Me]

Slowly crawling back, trying to survive...

[Level2Me]

Of course the revenue is very disappointing. After hours volume is ~115K, some of them are large blocks of 1000+shares

Number of 'active distributors' and 'sales leaders' dropped yet again -- that tells you next Q revenue will most likely be even lower

[Level2Me]

Dividend of 35c at $60 was 2.3% annualized
At $50 it's 2.8% which is actually pretty nice

[Level2Me]

Sweet bananas, this IS a disappointing quarter!

[UserAlias1]

MASSIVE after-hours $NUS sell-off on earnings disappointment.

[Level2Me]

ER on Wednesday. The question is whether dollar strength in Q1 hurt Nuskin more than they'd like?

[Level2Me]

I have a dilemma. I want to buy NuSkin. But I want to buy it below $20/share ;)

[b4uIsMe]

Maybe, but FVRG would certainly add to NUS product-line and balance.

Just released today: ForeverGreen Worldwide Corp. Reports 229% Increase in 2014 Revenues to $58.3 Million; Gross Profit Increased 253% to $45.9 Mi...anticipated 50%+ sales growth during 2015 and 2016”

They keep growing...

[Level2Me]

Big range today.

[Level2Me]

They have done couple acquisitions historically but looks like they prefer organic growth.

[b4uIsMe]

I wonder whether NuSkin might be interested in acquiring this soaring MLM? Forevergreen (FVRG): It fits the bill, healthy products and profit-wise. 90-100 million revenue per year expected, an increase of 45% over the previous year's expected growth, and 12 months of consecutive MoM triple digit revenue growth. Pretty impressive!

[Level2Me]

Who doesn't like a healthy law suit? lol

[AntiMarketMaker]

it is just hedgies selling ghost shares.

[Level2Me]

wow, another big jump that doesn't make sense. Q4 report was good, but not $50 good....

[Level2Me]

The chart is waltzing: up, up, Down! Up up Down!

[Level2Me]

3 months chart looks like a "maybe". 1 year chart says "stay away"....

[Level2Me]

Nu Skin Enterprises, Inc. will release fourth-quarter and full-year 2014 results prior to the market opening on Thursday, Feb. 5.

Market estimates $600M revenue for Q4. 2013 Q4 was $1 Billion. Doesn't look very promising for PPS

[Level2Me]

Three months chart looks like disaster. If it breaks 38 support its going to get ugly

[Level2Me]

Wow, 6% up today!

[Level2Me]

Floor at 38 is nearing again... surely with the 10k announcement this will keep tumbling...

[Level2Me]

Chief Scientific Officer sold 4700 shares just above $43

[Chino187]

It will drop dramatically I agree. They need to focus on selling the product itself as oppose to continuing the pyramid scheme. If they focus on selling for commission plus recruitment then it'll be a multilevel. But it is straight up a pyramid scheme growing base charging recruitment.

[Level2Me]

Sorry, have to disagree. Judging from my own experience... I was introduced to nuskin 'business' few years ago. Tried distributing for a while but it didn't grow big. Finally stopped but remained a product user. I buy about 50 dollars of products a month on average.
By the way back in 2009 when I learned about it their stock was at 30 or so and 1.3.bln in revenue. Today's revenues are twice as much. But markers expectations are just unrealistic, and their performance for the next couple of quarters will loos bad compared to first couple of quarters of 2014. But as soon as it hits $20 I will start buying.

I even had a dream few weeks ago that it will drop to $14 LOL :)

[Chino187]

The problem with this company is that they are focused on getting money from recruits rather than selling the products and getting commission. Thus puts it as running a pyramid scheme while presenting to be a multilevel marketing.

[Level2Me]

Off to a terrible start. Let's see if it bounces up. I don't think so...

[Level2Me]

Mind you, I am a big fan of actual products, but the business performance was quite poor compared to last couple of years.
