The bears haves shorted 10% of RadioShack simply because it is a crummy company. But it has expanded its phone distribution business and has a ton of cash. It is simply a terrible short now that it carries so many smartphone lines. And the stock is rocking after its upgrade this morning. Bears had better watch out on this one!

Underperform -- Price 16.10 on Oct. 6

Our 15.50 target reflects a multiple of 10 times our revised 2010E-EPS of $1.56. RadioShack has historically traded within a range of 10 to 18 times forward EPS, with a five-year average P/E multiple of about 10.8 times. Risks to attainment of our target include changes to the macroeconomic outlook, variability in new product-release timing, the effects of competition from other consumer electronic and big-box retailers and changes in consumer demand for consumer electronics. Market cap: $2 billion.

badly disappointed in this one

Do you know anyone who still shops there and why would you anyway. BBY and COST have everything you need in electronics. Fry's is better for the peripherals. This business died when they were still selling Tandy PC's in the 80's. I am perplexed as to why investors love this stock

not doing well

PE is enormous. Stores are small and dinky. Tell the truth, how many of you have actually been in a Radio Shack in the last 5 years? Best Buy and Circuit City have far more and better merchandise. Be afraid, be very afraid.

too much hopla. it's bound to tank after Q1 eps release.

poor marketing
