Brooks Competition JC Penney Team #4: Xin Zhang Keat Ian Yeoh Jenn Yang Lee
Recommendations • Purchase JC Penney stocks
Capital Budgeting Assumptions • Ratios • Depreciation • Inflation rate • Sales growth rate
Capital Budgeting • Operating cash flow • Net working capital • Net capital spending
Capital Budgeting Sensitivity analysis • Net working capital • Variable cost ratio
Capital Budgeting • NPV=$23,224 Conclusion
SWOT Analysis External factors Opportunities younger population in America is growing into young adults and teenagers. Unemployment rate has been decreasing since 2009.
Threats Competitors seem to outperform JCP in all the financial ratio conducted Kohl’s is the only other competitor who owns slightly more stores than JCP
Internal Factors Strength The number of stores JCP owns Prototype store in Texas that recorded a sales per gross square foot of six hundred dollars
Weakness Currently unable to generate enough sales
Conclusion Although JCP has not been generating enough profit for the last three years, we think that is largely due to the change in management and remodeling project. Therefore, we suggest a “Buy” position on JCP.
