ODP is a Great Spec BuyShares of ODP have performed well in the past several months, as turnaround efforts seem to be achieving favorable outcomes.
Even better, they are paying a 3.34% dividend while you wait, and the payout ratio of 52.6% seems manageable to maintain, and barring a plummeting of sales, seems safe to me. They're also cheap at 8x 2018 estimated earnings per share.
Shares are climbing nicely since I bought at $2.41 on May 21st (+22.34% not including dividends). This current pullback to the breakout level is holding as support, with additional support from the 200dsma slightly below at $2.85.
I'm adding to my position and highly recommend you consider this name in your portfolio for a longer-term spec play.

Book Value: $3.72 (Total Shareholder's equity/number of shares)We know...Market doesn't follow any logic. Finally the super overvalued stocks are starting fo fall . Anyway, there are very few stocks which are quite undervalued. Benjamin Graham’s Criteria for Picking Value Stocks
VALUE CRITERIAS: Graham advised buying companies with Total Debt to Current Asset ratios of less than 1.10 - ODP Current Assets (in millions) 2,870 ODP Total Debt is 1,700. so 1700/2870 = 0.59 (Much less than 1.10)
Current Ratio (current assets divided by current liabilities) to find companies with ratios over 1.50. About OFFICE Depot Numbers: 2870/2046 = 1.40 (a bit lower than 1.50)
Invest in companies with price to earnings per share (P/E) ratios of 9.0 or less. ODP P/E is 6.8
Find companies with price to book value (P/BV) ratios less than 1.20. ODP Price (Market value) is 1,280 . Total stockholders’ equity (last quarter) is 2,120 so 1,280/2,120 = 0,6 (50% less than 1.20!)
Invest in companies that are currently paying dividends. ODP, actually, is paying dividends.
Following the Graham numbers, ODP is one of the very very few companies to be undervalued. It's undervalued by 76%
