Day trader John Skogman has built up an unusually large cash position of approximately 40 percent while searching for buying opportunities in stocks that have fallen out of favor with the market, according to an interview with Dagens industri.
Among his favorites, Skogman highlights Fenix Outdoor and Husqvarna, both of which have lost more than half of their market value over the past three years.
Regarding Fenix Outdoor, he notes that the stock has moved from "hyped to hated" and that the valuation may now be low enough to attract institutional investors back to the fold.
When it comes to Husqvarna, Skogman points to a strong earnings report and suggests that concerns regarding Chinese competition have diminished. He also sees long-term growth potential in the increasing automation of lawn mowing for municipalities, golf courses, and other large-scale facilities.
As a sell case, he mentions the clothing giant H&M. According to Skogman, a reduced free float of available shares risks leading index funds to sell rather than buy the stock. He also argues that the market's profit expectations have historically often been too high at the beginning of the year.
Axfood is also among the stocks he views negatively. Skogman estimates that lower food price inflation and changing market conditions could lead to a negative surprise in connection with the company's report for the second quarter.
