PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Oct 9/08. Down 19.2%.) Had a nice quarter and is showing good backlog. Auto industry is certainly a negative but companies seem to be right sizing the workforce and staying ahead of the curve. Good management and not over leveraged.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jan 25/08. Down 20.7%.) Revenues went up 47%. Earned about $60 million in the last quarter compared to losing $14 million a year ago. Very well run. Still a Buy.
TOP PICK
Fairly diverse manufacturing including solar. Doing a raise now of $50 million. If that goes well, he would have a $6-$7 target price on it. Use a $4.50 Stop.
TOP PICK
Doing well in turn around mode. Very, very good price. Did not execute well in the past in solar and now pulling up their socks. Sill exposed to auto industry and could hurt but if anyone needs to re-tool, it’s the auto industry.
TOP PICK
Great multiple and great company. New management came in last November. This is a turnaround situation. Far sooner than people expected.
BUY
Excellent management. Selling off non-core assets. Still looking to get rid of their solar Photowatt at some point in time. Sell target is $22.
TOP PICK
A classic turnaround story. A year ago, there was a proxy fight and a new board was installed along with new management. In 9 short months they engineered a remarkable turnaround. Just reported an extremely profitable quarter. There is still room for improvement on the margin side and revenue booking side.
BUY
(Market Call Minute.) New management and they are doing much better. Focusing on solar energy.
BUY
Automated tooling for automobile, housing and solar industries. Solar division was doing very poorly for quite a while. Starting to turn the corner now.
WATCH
Their basic business is the automated tooling business. They had to fight against the Canadian dollar rising so rapidly. Also bungled some of the efforts on the solar power division. New management has streamlined the company dramatically. Wait for the courtly results that come out in May, as this will be the first full quarter that the new management has been in play.
DON'T BUY
Ranks midpoint at 298 in his database. Year-over-year earnings were down over 100%. Analysts have chopped earnings estimates by about 45% in the last 90 days. Expected to earn $.05 in March 09 which brings a very crisp 144X PE. Has high respect for the new management.
PAST TOP PICK
(Top pick, April 19, 2007. Down 15%) They’re in the solar field, very competitive space that is growing. Target over $21.
TOP PICK
Deals with automation in the automotive industry, health care, computers as well as into solar. There are so many companies out there and there is some question about the efficacy. Likes the new board of directors. Also have a new CEO. Think it's moving in the right direction.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Feb 1/07. Down 56.9%.) This stock was torpedoed and it usually takes a long time to recover from a torpedo. It is probably improving and if you own it, wait it out.
DON'T BUY
Has 3 different parts. At any given time one of them could be doing very well and the others not so well. Trying to get out of their precision components business, which continues to be a drag on their results. Automation business continues to do well but their solar panel has had its ups and downs. Sensitive to economic conditions.
