3 Big Losers This Week

Motley Fool analyst John Reeves gives us his weekly wrap-up, discussing three companies that cratered this week. The big story was Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL  ) , which is now down 11% for the week and a staggering 35% from its highs last fall. In the video below, Reeves discusses the aftermath of Apple's earnings call, as well as the bear vs. bull case for the company.

He then moves on to high-end retailer Coach, (NYSE: COH  ) , which fell 17% after reporting weaker-than-expected domestic sales. Competition in the handbag space was one culprit blamed by Coach, turning all eyes to Michael Kors (NYSE: KORS  ) , a competitor that has slowly but surely been stealing market share. Finally, Arena Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: ARNA  ) is down 11% for the week following news that the EU had questions about its weight loss drug. While approved for sale in the U.S., the EU has yet to sign off on the drug, meaning that Arena shares will likely remain volatile for the near future.

As previously mentioned, Michael Kors is one of today's hottest high-end fashion brands, and that's translated into one of the best-performing stocks in retail. Since its debut on the market in late 2011, the share price has more than doubled. But with all that growth, has the stock finally reached its high point�or is there still room left to run? The Motley Fool's new premium report on Michael Kors gives investors all the information they need to make the right decision, covering key must-watch areas, opportunities, threats to the company, and more.
