ATS Automation Tooling Systems (ATS-T) has garnered positive sentiment from various analysts despite some recent volatility in stock performance. The latest quarter saw revenue exceed expectations, although bookings showed signs of softening, prompting a focus on higher-quality businesses rather than immediate growth. A strong backlog and improving margins have been highlighted, suggesting resilience in the business model even amidst muted earnings due to factors unrelated to demand. Analysts express optimism, with price targets hovering around $49-50 and a potential upside of 10-25%, indicating that the stock still represents a favorable entry point for investors despite a recent dip in price. The company is well-positioned to capitalize on trends in automation linked to reshoring and modernization in manufacturing.

COMMENT

Feels the stock can go up over $20. Had major problems because of their solar divisions. Air France operation is now done with and they are dealing with their Ontario operation. Have a good backlog. The Ontario economy recovery is key because of what they have to do with the automotive/airplane sector, etc.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick April 17/12. Up 11.04%.)

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Jan 17/12. Up 41.52%.) Still likes. Has a lot of upside. Great play in terms of a recovering economy. Good management. Can see it getting back over $20.

COMMENT

Chart shows a very long sideways contained movement between $5.40 and $8, followed by a gigantic upward move in early 2012. It is now again back into a mega long-term sideways cycle. Old resistance levels of around $7.70 is now the new support. As a trader, you should Buy at around the $7 - $7.70 mark and Sell around the top at around $9. There’s no sign of it breaking out to the upside, it is a Trader.

BUY

(Market Call Minute) Surprising reaction to their report. More enterprise solutions now. A good entry point.

BUY

Just reported earnings that were not as good as people had hoped. Bookings for last quarter were not as good as expected. Overall backlog is pretty good. Likes management.

BUY

27 of 740 stocks in his database. Streamlining the company and working to get rid of solar side of business. Rather than making things that make things, they are trying to participate in the value add of the things they make. Looking at providing service rather than it being a one-time sale. He likes it. Backlogs are interesting. Good opportunity for the stock.

TOP PICK

Sold off their division in France that went into bankruptcy so that will not drag on earnings. Their Ontario solar is now dragging on earnings. He can see this one doubling from here. Just had 20% revenue increase and 45% earnings increase.

COMMENT
Ranks in the top 5% of his database. Stock has dramatically turned itself around. Solar division has been sold off, which has reduced the losses. There is a broad description that manufacturing may be moving back into North America.
TOP PICK
Chart is showing a nice consolidation during 2010 and 2011. Fundamentally it is looking really good. Coming up positive on all of his various scans that he does. Have a Stop around the $8.50 level.
TOP PICK
He can see this at $20 plus. Sold their Photowatt factory in France. They have a record backlog now of $375 million. Expects tremendous upside. Good management.
DON'T BUY
Sold last year. $4.60 book. Did a great job of rejigging the company. He is not a buyer here but the company is good and the company could go higher.
COMMENT
Bankruptcy of their French photo op plant has been a major drag on their earnings. Hopefully that will be out of the way in the next 6 months. Can see this one being above $20 at some point.
TOP PICK
The only problem they have is the photo op operation in France. It has now gone into bankruptcy and they have taken huge write-offs on it. Thinks there will be more problems with it going forward. Management thinks that in the next 6 months it will be done. Have a tremendous backlog. Profitable after the write-downs. Potentially a $20 stock.
DON'T BUY
Sold his holdings in early 2011. Good company and good management. The biggest problem was their solar panel division in France. Until they rectify this, he wouldn't buy.
