I hoped you booked your tickets aboard the Korn Ferry (NYSE: KFY)! The administration advisor inventory simply took off immediately, hovering 5% after a banger of an earnings report.
Wow, that was a korny lead-in, even for y’all.
In contrast to its identify would counsel, Korn Ferry doesn’t ship grain or transport nu steel bands. Nevertheless it does deal with company consulting, a phrase which is begging for somebody to deliver out the company BS generator.
Looking at Korn’s report tells you it’s into “empowering expertise,” “unlocking potential,” “enterprise transformation evaluation and succession” … all of the buzzwords you’d count on. Principally, it handles staffing. That’s it.
Want any person somebody to assist reorganize, restructure or recruit for a giant enterprise? Korn Ferry can speak the C-suite workforce by means of it. You’ll be able to see the place this kinda firm might are available clutch in a turbulent labor market.
Actually, Korn says a good labor market and a talented labor scarcity are right here to remain for “years to return.” Whereas the job market uncertainty isn’t nice for, you already know, staff, this is good news for any of you KFY traders on the market. (Significantly, do any of you personal this inventory? Or have even heard of it earlier than?)

Even with fuel costs reaching “promote a kidney” ranges, the RV market nonetheless has loads of mileage left on it — and in the event you didn’t consider us earlier than, perhaps you’ll now after taking a gander at Winnebago’s (NYSE: WGO) newest earnings report.
The rough-and-tumble RV maker posted a revenue of $4.13 per share on $1.46 billion in income, beating Wall Road’s consensus estimate for $2.96 per share. To not point out Winnebago’s income revved a full 52% greater quarter over quarter — and 41% greater 12 months over 12 months.
Not too shabby, contemplating inflation — to not point out stated obscene fuel costs — proceed to ravage many of the nation.
When requested how Winnebago retains motoring on regardless of its many price challenges, CEO Michael Happe stated:
We now have been profitable in managing provide chain disruptions, bettering supplier stock ranges, navigating price inflation and driving manufacturing productiveness to ship persistently sturdy outcomes.
Then got here the even higher information: Based on Winnebago, it’s seeing zero lower in outside participation from its camping-ready clients. Zip. Zilch. Nada.
In consequence, traders pushed WGO replenish 3% immediately on this much-needed positivity. How’s that for placing on a Happe face, huh?
Greatest: Sit Simply Acquired Actual

All good and comfortable? Good. Simply don’t go nodding off on me now. I understand how simple it’s to go to sleep on these comfortable couch shares…
What within the precise hell are you occurring about?
Properly. I see you weren’t one of many La-Z-Boy (NYSE: LZB) traders who wined and reclined in type this morning after LZB inventory soared almost 9% greater on information of document sofa gross sales.
Wall Road was frightened that La-Z-Boy may be within the scorching seat as inflation heats up, however the armchair aficionado almost doubled its earnings 12 months over 12 months — incomes $1.33 per share within the fiscal fourth quarter in comparison with $0.81 per share in 2021.
What’s extra, La-Z-Boy stated:
We count on our sturdy stability sheet and important backlog will permit us to maneuver by means of the present unsure interval and make necessary investments in our furnishings as we ship returns to all stakeholders.
Now, it’s necessary to notice that declining furnishings gross sales and bear markets go method again — virtually way back to an precise La-Z-Boy recliner. (Wayfair traders … y’all nonetheless respiration on the market?)
However with LZB inventory bucking the present inflationary development, it makes you surprise: Perhaps persons are nonetheless prepared to pay up for high quality gadgets which can be constructed to final … versus flimsier furnishings they’ll simply have to exchange in a couple of years.
In spite of everything, because the saying goes: “Purchase as soon as, cry as soon as.” Which, because it occurs, I’ve additionally discovered applies to sure investments — particularly throughout down durations just like the one we’re in now.
Take crypto, for example.
Has the crypto market gotten the snot kicked out of it recently? You wager it has. However as Ian King retains telling us: Down durations give us the chance to purchase small stakes of the very best cash whereas costs are dirt-cheap…
After which promote these stakes for a revenue as soon as costs rebound once more (as they at all times do).
So save these crypto crocodile tears for an additional day, Nice Ones. Alternative’s knocking — and those that reply the decision have the possibility to earn cash off a coin that specialists say will develop into 20 instances greater than Bitcoin.
All the small print are proper right here for the taking — however don’t delay.
