New years brought the resolution to lose weight just like any other year and this means the first three months of the year are the best time to own weight loss companies. Also the fact that people try and fail regularly to lose weight shows this phenomenon is everlasting. Life Time Fitness Inc. (LTM) was named as the “No. 1, best of breed, health club pick” and Jim says he is a “huge fan” of this stock. LTM was preferred to Town Sports International Holdings Inc. (CLUB) as they have better operating margins and higher revenue per member. Based on growth LTM is not expensive either. Further we were told that LTM has larger clubs with better amenities and Prudential recently gave them an underweight rating, even with them deserving to be a buy according to Jim. Expansion to wealthier areas will be costly, but these will be the places they can charge outrageous price. Jim told us to “go with LTM.” NutriSystem Inc. (NTRI) was talked about next and the stock has gotten “crushed” after coming out with “awful” guidance. After flying high, the stock got pounded and it may look cheap right now but it is dangerous to own. Jim says “it is done” as the “market won’t get fooled again” and he called the stock a “one hit wonder that will go through a long period of decline.” The average customer only stays on the program for 10 weeks. The overexposure leads them to not being able to make new headway in the market. Weight Watchers International Inc (WTW) is the stock you should look to, they have growth that you can count on and a wonderful customer retention rate.
