Ollie&#39;s Bargain Outlet Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/olli#NASDAQ">OLLI</a>) is set to enhance its retail footprint following the acquisition of seven former Big Lots store leases won through a recent bankruptcy auction. This acquisition comes as part of the ongoing restructuring efforts of Big Lots, which included the closure of 143 stores.
<h2>Details of OLLI&#39;s Acquisition of 7 Big Lots&#39; Stores</h2>
Of the seven stores, Ollie&#39;s Bargain has received the final clearance and approval for six stores from the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. The seventh store is expected to receive the necessary approvals soon.
What makes these stores an ideal choice is that these have the required size, situated in prime trade areas and align with OLLI&#39;s commitment to serving value-oriented customers. Not only this but these stores also are located in the Midwest, a region where OLLI sees significant growth potential and has opened a new distribution center.
Similar to the 99 Cent Only stores&#39; acquisition, OLLI&#39;s primary focus is on opening the acquired Big Lots stores while adjusting the schedule for other planned store openings in its pipeline to optimize productivity and reduce pre-opening costs. For fiscal 2024, the company anticipates 50 new stores and two planned closures.
Ollie&#39;s Bargain&#39;s acquisition of former Big Lots stores signifies a strategic growth initiative within the competitive retail landscape. Currently, OLLI operates 541 stores across 31 states. The company&#39;s long-term plan is to operate 1300 stores across the United States.
<h2>What More Should Investors Know About OLLI?</h2>
Ollie&#39;s Bargain business model of &quot;buying cheap and selling cheap&quot;, cost-containment efforts, focus on store productivity and expansion of customer reward program and Ollie&#39;s Army reinforce its position in the industry. Ollie&#39;s Army continues to be a significant sales driver in the second quarter of fiscal 2024 with the increasing membership. The company ended the quarter with 14.5 million active Ollie&#39;s Army members, which accounted for more than 80% of sales. Collectively, these initiatives position the company for sustained growth.
OLLI delivered a strong performance in the second quarter. It emphasizes value-driven merchandise assortments, which allowed the company to seize market opportunities and meet consumer demand effectively. Comparable store sales rose 5.8% in the quarter, driven by growth in transactions and basket size. Ollie&#39;s Bargain has now achieved nine consecutive quarters of comparable store sales growth.
The improved business performance prompted management to lift its fiscal 2024 view. OLLI now expects net sales in the range of $2.276-$2.291 billion compared with $2.257-$2.277 billion stated earlier. Ollie&#39;s Bargain now anticipates comparable store sales to rise in the band of 2.7-3.2% compared with 1.5-2.3% previously stated. The company has revised adjusted EPS to be in the band of $3.22-$3.30, up from the earlier estimated range of $3.18-$3.28.
<h2>How is the Zacks Consensus Estimate Faring for OLLI?</h2>
Reflecting the positive sentiment around OLLI, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for EPS has seen upward revisions. In the past 60 days, analysts have increased their estimates for the current and next fiscal year by 0.3% to $3.28 and 1.1% to $3.72 per share, respectively. These estimates indicate expected year-over-year growth of 12.7% and 13.4%, respectively.

<h2>Does OLLI Stock Look Attractive?</h2>
In the past six months, OLLI&#39;s shares have gained 38.5%, outpacing the industry and the S&amp;P 500&#39;s growth of 6.8% and 9.9%, respectively.
<img alt="Zacks Investment Research" src="https://staticx-tuner.zacks.com/images/articles/charts/da/80057.jpg?v=2118532209" />

OLLI stock has been a strong performer, but its valuation remains a topic of debate. Currently, the stock trades at a premium relative to the industry, with a price-to-earnings ratio indicating that its growth potential may already be factored into price.
OLLI&#39;s forward 12-month price-to-earnings ratio stands at 26.7X, higher than the industry&#39;s ratio of 18.6X. This suggests that investors are paying a premium compared with the company&#39;s expected earnings growth. OLLI has a Value Score of D.

<h2>How to Play OLLI Stock?</h2>
Ollie&#39;s Bargain is well-positioned to enhance its market presence, drive sales and deliver value to its customers, leading to improved financial performance in the coming quarters. Investors with a long-term horizon may stay invested in this Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) stock but potential investors should look for a better entry point, given its higher valuation.

Momentum and value investing are two distinct investment approaches with their own strengths and risks. While momentum investing relies on following existing price trends, value investing focuses on identifying undervalued shares before a market correction. Read on to learn more about the differences between these two strategies &mdash; and which might be best for you.&nbsp;
<h2>What Is Momentum Investing?</h2>
Momentum investing is a strategy where investors buy stocks or other assets that have shown an upward price trend and sell those that are falling. The idea is that assets that have performed well in the recent past will continue to perform well in the near future, while underperforming assets will continue to decline. This strategy is based on the belief that trends in asset prices tend to persist over time due to investor behavior, market psychology, and sometimes economic factors. Investors typically cut losses quickly and secure profits early to avoid sharp market reversals.
<h3>Key Traits of Momentum Investing</h3>
&nbsp;To identify and capitalize on price trends, momentum investors will typically:
<ul>
<li>
Focus on Price Trends
</li>
<li>
Have Short- to Medium-Term Holding Periods
</li>
<li>
Emphasize Relative Strength
</li>
<li>
Use Technical Analysis
</li>
<li>
Monitor Trading Volume
</li>
<li>
Employ Strong Risk Management
</li>
<li>
High Portfolio Turnover
</li>
</ul>
<h2>What is Value Investing?</h2>
Value investing is a more conservative strategy that involves evaluating a company&#39;s financial and long-term health. Value investors identify undervalued companies and buy shares at a reduced price, hoping the market will eventually correct the mispricing and recognize the asset&#39;s true worth.
<h3>Key Traits of Value Investing</h3>
Instead of following trends like momentum investors, value investors will typically:
<ul>
<li>
Seek Undervalued Assets
</li>
<li>
Maintain a Long-Term Investment Horizon
</li>
<li>
Rely on Fundamental Analysis
</li>
<li>
Prioritize a Margin of Safety
</li>
<li>
Exercise Patience and Discipline
</li>
<li>
Favor Stable, Established Companies
</li>
<li>
Adopt a Risk-Averse Approach
</li>
</ul>
<h2>Differences Between Momentum and Value Investing</h2>
Momentum and value investing offer contrasting approaches to the stock market, each with unique characteristics suited to different investors and market conditions.
<h3>Investment Philosophy</h3>
The core difference between momentum and value investing lies in their investment philosophy.
Momentum investing is based on the belief that trends will continue. Investors buy assets that are rising in price and sell those that are falling, aiming to profit from the continuation of these trends. It is driven by market psychology and the assumption that upward or downward momentum will continue due to investor behavior and herd mentality.
Value investing, by contrast, is built on the principle that the market sometimes misprices stocks. Value investors believe that over time, the market will correct these mispricings, and the stock&#39;s price will rise to reflect its true intrinsic value. This approach is rooted in patience and the idea that sound fundamentals will eventually prevail over market noise.
<h3>Time Horizon</h3>
Momentum investors will typically hold stocks for weeks or months, looking to capitalize on quick price movements before the trend reverses. They focus on taking advantage of short-term market conditions and frequently adjust their portfolios to respond to new trends.&nbsp;
Value investing, on the other hand, has a much longer time horizon. Value investors are willing to wait years for the market to recognize a company&#39;s true value. Their goal is not to chase quick gains but to hold quality stocks that will appreciate slowly and steadily over time, benefiting from both price correction and long-term growth.
<h3>Analysis Type</h3>
Momentum investing relies heavily on technical analysis, which involves studying price charts, market trends, and trading volume. Momentum traders use indicators like moving averages, relative strength indexes (RSI), and other technical tools to identify entry and exit points. Their focus is more on price patterns and historical data than on the financial health of a company.
Value investing focuses on long-term potential rather than short-term price action. Value investors perform fundamental analysis on a company by examining its earnings, book value, cash flow, and debt. They compare the company&#39;s intrinsic value to its market price to identify if it is undervalued.
<h3>Risk Level</h3>
Due to its reliance on short-term price movements, momentum investing is generally considered a high-risk strategy.&nbsp;Since trends can reverse quickly, momentum traders face the risk of sharp downturns and rapid losses if they fail to exit positions in time. Moreover, because momentum is largely influenced by market sentiment and investor behavior, it can be unpredictable and volatile.
Value investing tends to be lower risk because it focuses on finding discounted stocks that are fundamentally sound. By buying stocks at a discount to their intrinsic value, value investors create a &quot;margin of safety&quot; which can protect against downside risk. Although value stocks may take longer to appreciate, they are generally viewed as more stable and less susceptible to extreme volatility than momentum-driven stocks.
<h3>Market Behavior</h3>
Whether the market is bullish or bearish, as long as clear trends are established, momentum investors can profit. They rely on the assumption that prices will continue to move in their current direction, making this strategy particularly effective during periods of significant market momentum and sentiment-driven trading.
Value investors, by contrast, often succeed in markets with mispricings, especially during downturns or corrections when stocks may be temporarily undervalued. In volatile or bear markets, value investors may find more opportunities as others sell stocks that are temporarily out of favor.
<h3>Source of Returns</h3>
Momentum investors seek to profit from market timing, buying stocks that are on the rise and selling them before the trend reverses. They rely on quick shifts in stock prices and can often experience rapid gains (or losses) over short periods.
By purchasing stocks at a discount to their intrinsic value, value investors profit when the stock price rises to reflect its true worth. In addition, value stocks often pay dividends, providing another steady source of income over the long term.
<h2>Momentum vs. Value Investing: Which Is Better?</h2>
Neither strategy is inherently better than the other; each has its advantages depending on market conditions and individual investor preferences. Value investing appeals to those with a long-term, conservative approach. It is also a more forgiving strategy for beginner or less active investors since the longer general time frame allows prices to rebound before major goals like retirement. Momentum investing is more suited to those comfortable with higher risk and short-term market movements. While this strategy is riskier compared to value investing, momentum investors may be able to take profits more quickly &mdash; ideal if you&#39;re investing for a shorter-term goal, like buying a new car.&nbsp;
As always, consider your risk tolerance, investment time frame, and goals when choosing the right strategy for you. Consulting a financial advisor may also help you determine which method aligns with your objectives.

Arcosa, Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/aca#NYSE">ACA</a>) recently acquired the construction materials business of Stavola Holding Corporation and its affiliated entities (Stavola) for $1.2 billion.
This apart, ACA completed the previously announced sale of its steel components business on Aug. 16, 2024.
<h2>Buyout Synergies</h2>
The acquisition was funded with a $600 million 6.875% Senior Note issuance (due 2032), which closed on Aug. 26, 2024, and a pre-payable $700 million variable-rate senior secured Term Loan B Facility (due 2031), which was funded concurrently with the closing of the transaction. Excess cash proceeds will be used to pay down borrowings on the company&#39;s revolving credit facility.
For third-quarter 2024, the company expects adjusted EBITDA to be within $1-$1.5 million loss, reflecting a partial period of ownership that was impacted by the deferral of certain product shipments and business interruption from actions necessary to complete the divestiture process. Moreover, Arcosa plans to update its 2024 revenue and adjusted EBITDA guidance for the completion of these transactions at third-quarter earnings release.
The company anticipates deploying strong free cash flow to return to its net leverage target of 2.0-2.5X within 18 months.
<h2>About Stavola</h2>
Founded in 1948, Stavola is an aggregates-led and vertically integrated construction materials company. It primarily serves the New York-New Jersey Metropolitan Statistical Area&nbsp;through its network of five hard rock natural aggregates quarries, 12 asphalt plants and three recycled aggregates sites.
In the past 12 months (ended June 30, 2024), Stavola generated revenues of $283 million and adjusted EBITDA of $100 million, representing an adjusted EBITDA margin of 35%. Of the total adjusted EBITDA, 56% was contributed by the aggregates business. This is expected to create tax benefits attributable to Arcosa with a net present value of nearly $125 million.
Antonio Carrillo, president and chief executive officer of ACA, stated, &quot;These transactions significantly advance our strategy of growing in attractive markets while reducing the cyclicality and complexity of our overall portfolio. Stavola underscores our aggregates-led acquisition strategy, expanding our platform into the nation&#39;s largest MSA with industry-leading financial attributes.&quot;
<h2>ACA&#39;s Stock Performance</h2>
Shares of this Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) company have soared 11.6% in the past six months compared with the Zacks Building Products - Miscellaneous industry&#39;s 6.6% growth. Solid contributions from its Construction Products and Engineered Structures segments boosted growth. A boost in infrastructural and public construction spending, along with a renewable energy drive, should improve Arcosa&#39;s growth.
<img alt="Zacks Investment Research" src="https://staticx-tuner.zacks.com/images/articles/charts/17/80058.jpg?v=925353102" />

Arcosa strategically pursued two acquisitions in the first half of 2024, significantly bolstering its performance. In August, the company entered into a deal with an affiliate of Stellex Capital Management, a middle-market private equity firm, to sell its McConway &amp; Torley and Standard Forged Products businesses.
These inorganic moves align with Arcosa&#39;s long-term growth strategy, aiming to capitalize on opportunities in key markets and sectors. As the company continues to integrate these acquisitions, it anticipates further synergies and operational efficiencies, thus driving value for shareholders.
In a nutshell, Arcosa&#39;s strategic acquisitions have positioned it for sustained growth and market leadership in the construction products sector, underscoring its commitment to delivering innovative solutions and creating value for stakeholders.

Why It&#8217;s Important:&nbsp;Nvidia was the top searched stock on Benzinga Pro for the month of September once again. The stock has ranked first or second for every month tracked since February, sometimes alternating with SPY or Tesla.
The SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust ranked second for a second straight month, which comes as the S&amp;P 500 tracking index hit new all-time highs in the month of September.
Tesla, which topped the month of July, has ranked third for two straight weeks. The stock has ranked among the top four stocks searched in each month tracked in 2024.
The bigger story in September were the newcomers and the stocks that dropped off.
Newcomers to the top 10 included Wheeler Real Estate, Galmed, Intel and Intuitive. Of the four stocks, only Intuitive had ranked in the top 20 over the last three months. The newcomers all had catalysts in the last month that made their stocks highly volatile.
On the 11th through 20th portion of the list, the stocks were all different from the previous month with Intuitive moving to the top 10 and Palantir going from 7th to 12th and the other stocks all new to the top 20.
Several of the companies ranked in the bottom part of the top 20 are penny stocks trading at less than $5 per share that saw wide moves that saw increased interest from Benzinga traders.
One of the bigger names to make the top 20, by name recognition, is Trump Media &amp; Technology Group, the company that counts former President Donald Trump as a co-founder. The stock has been highly volatile during the 2024 election cycle.
Dropping out of the top 10 were Lumen Technologies (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LUMN#NYSE">LUMN</a>), Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>), Geovax Labs (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOVX#NASDAQ">GOVX</a>) and the aforementioned Palantir.
Other big names that exited the top 20 include Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) that was 13th in August and fell to 24th to narrowly miss the list.
Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>), which has frequently appeared in the top 20 and was ranked 15th in August dropped out of the top 20.
Overall the month of September saw six of the same top 10 tickers from August and eight of the top 20 tickers from August.
