Advisors' Opinion:

• [By Ben Levisohn]

  JC Penney’s current EV of $6.9B means they would have to achieve $1.1B in EBITDA for it to have a similar FY2016 EV/EBITDA multiple as Macy’s (M), the clear winner in the mid-tier department store space, in our view. The last time�JC Penney achieved that level of EBITDA was before they gave up $5.4B in sales. The thought that they could get back to that level of EBITDA is highly unlikely, in our view, and certainly not likely anytime time soon.

However, Bank of The Internet (NASDAQ: BOFI  ) has tackled this bloated industry with innovation of a different sort: an online-only bank.
