Electronics retailer RadioShack Corporation (NYSE: RSH) is on the rebound. The company posted net income of $46.3 million for 3rd Quarter 2007, as opposed to a net loss of $16.3 million in 3Q 2006. Cash generation is up, prepaid wireless system sales are up, GPS system sales are up, gross profit is up, and cash balances are up. On the flip side, better inventory management and a more profitable product mix combined with serious cost control efforts to reduce SG&A expenses by 13%, contributed to the rebound.

Radio Shack managed to post these good numbers despite the fact that total sales fell 9.4% due to large declines in Sprint post-paid wireless systems. CEO Julian Day insists that Radio Shack will continue to focus on both growth and profitability despite continuing problems in post-paid wireless sales. The company is trying to help its bottom line by continuing to repurchase shares, $162 million worth in 3Q 2007 alone, out of $209 million YTD.

Perhaps electronics will be a hot holiday seller this winter, giving Radio Shack a much needed boost. The stock currently trades at $18.21 and will pay a dividend of 25 cents per share.
