    It might seem risky to invest in a luxury goods maker when the bears expect a recession within the next two years. However, the highest-end brands are generally more resistant to economic downturns than mid-range "affordable luxury" brands like Tapestry's (NYSE:TPR) Coach and Kate Spade. That's why we recently saw Tapestry's stock plunge after it reported less than 1% sales growth last quarter.

Eni SpA with its consolidated subsidiaries of the continuing operations engages in oil&gas exploration, development and production, marketing of gas, electricity and LNG, power generation, refining and marketing of petroleum products and, commodity trading. In 2015, the Group commenced a plan to divest its Engineering & Construction segment, which is managed by the subsidiary Saipem (Eni's interest being 42.9%), and its Chemical business which is managed by Eni's wholly-owned subsidiary Versalis. In the 2015 Consolidated Financial Statements, the two segments have been accounted for in accordance with IFRS 5 "non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations". Therefore, they have been disclosed as discontinued operations and have been measured at the lower of their carrying amounts and fair value; results of operations and cash flow of the comparative periods have been restated accordingly.   Advisors' Opinion:

  • [By Shane Hupp]

    ENI (NYSE:E) was downgraded by analysts at Zacks Investment Research from a hold rating to a sell rating. According to Zacks, “With recovering oil prices, Eni’s operating profits from its Refining & Marketing business has gone down in the first half of 2018 against the comparable period of 2017. Also, operating profit from its Chemical business fell 79% during this period due to rising costs of oil-based feedstock. Moreover, Eni has sold 50% of its stake in the Zohr field, a high yielding project, which can impact its revenues. Fall in demand for products like gasoil and gasoline, in Italy, is also a concern for the company. If this consumption trend persists, the company’s profit levels will get affected. Given these headwinds, Eni seems like a risky bet that ordinary investors should exit.”

    Eni SpA (NYSE:E) has received an average rating of “Hold” from the twelve analysts that are presently covering the company, MarketBeat.com reports. Two investment analysts have rated the stock with a sell recommendation, three have given a hold recommendation and seven have issued a buy recommendation on the company.
