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.

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.
