Benzinga’s weekly Stock Wars matches up two leaders in a major industry sector with the goal of determining which company is the better investment. This week, the duel is between two warehouse club giants: BJ''s Wholesale Club Holdings Inc (NYSE: BJ ) and Costco Wholesale Corporation (NASDAQ: COST ). The Case For BJ’s: This company’s roots can be traced back to the Massachusetts discount department store chain Zayre in 1984 — the BJ’s name was a tribute to company president Mervyn Weich’s daughter Beverly Jean. The company was publicly traded before its 2011 acquisition by the private equity firms Leonard Green & Partners and CVC Capital Partners , and it returned to being publicly traded in 2018. Today, the Westborough, Massachusetts-based BJ''s focuses on the eastern half of the U.S. with 229 wholesale clubs and 160 branded gas stations in 17 states. On June 10, announced plans for new clubs in Noblesville, Indiana; New Albany, Ohio; Wayne, New Jersey; and Midlothian, Virginia. In other corporate developments, the company recently partnered with DoorDash Inc (NYSE: DASH ) to offer on-demand grocery delivery from its location, making it the first wholesale club available on the DoorDash marketplace, and in January it acquired the assets and operations of four distribution centers and the related private transportation fleet from longtime partner Burris Logistics .

June’s No. 1 Profit & Protection Pick… Revealed On Thursday, I introduced five high-potential picks chosen by the quant-based Profit & Protection system. They ranged from speculative biotech firm 2seventy Bio (NASDAQ: TSVT ) to blue-chip BJ’s Wholesale Club (NYSE: BJ ). Now, if I were a quant-based investor with hundreds of long-short positions, I would buy small positions in all five! But we’re here to make big, meaningful bets that can move the needle of a concentrated, well-researched portfolio. So today, I’m going to reveal which of the five companies has made it to the no. 1 spot on this month’s Profit & Protection buy list: RealReal (NASDAQ: REAL ). Source: GoodStudio / Shutterstock.com The Turnaround E-Commerce Play At first glance, the RealReal looks like a bust when it comes to e-commerce plays.

Over the past month, we’ve covered the essential aspects of the Profit & Protection investment system. Growth Quality Value Momentum But here’s the twist: The system doesn’t necessarily pick obvious companies. As we saw in previous letters, some commonly held standards like “high operating margins,” “low P/E ratios,” and “fast past growth” are actually negative indicators for future stock growth. Instead, data from the past decade suggests investors are statistically more likely to outperform by buying turnarounds, ultra-low price-to-sales companies, high-growth stocks and those with extreme momentum in any direction. Put another way, struggling Bed Bath & Beyond (NASDAQ: BBBY ) is more likely to come out ahead of blue-chip energy firm Kinder Morgan (NYSE: KMI ) once the dust settles from Jerome Powell’s rate increases. Today, we’ll consider five companies set to do even better.
