Three stocks — Tiffany, Coach and Fossil — are worth shorting, Active Bear Fund Portfolio Manager Brad Lamensdorf told CNBC on Tuesday.
Tiffany, the luxury retailer, faces tightening margins due to high inventories, as well as conditions in Asia and Europe that are “much weaker than analysts are pricing into the stock,” he said on “Fast Money.”
Coach and Fossil face much of the same headwinds, he added.
“Again, their inventories are sky-high,” he said. “We think margins come way down due to these inventories.”
