DON'T BUY
Value trap. Very cheap on the basis of forecasted earnings. Trading 5-6 times earnings. They are losing market share, especially in the US. Last quarter was showing signs of weakness on international growth.
BUY
Getting to be quite compelling from a value point of view. They are not going to disappear. A good company that the market has not got much favour with. Over time if they can grow earnings and grow internationally then people will attribute a multiple like the piers have .
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick July 23/10. Down 56.09%.) Had never imagined they would drive evaluations down to these levels.
DON'T BUY
From one point of view, it looks like an enormous value. When you look at the way they lose market share, the way Apple (AAPL-Q) keeps eating their lunch and what happened to their Playbook tablet device, you realize it is a value trap.
WAIT
Growing domestically and especially over seas. The problem is that the technology hasn’t improved in 5 years. New QNX platform is due to come out soon. He is looking at it.
HOLD
Hold at current. 2 current news items are disconcerting. 1) Apple's (AAPL-Q) blow-out numbers. They are also starting to make progress in emerging markets. 2) Manager who brought Playbook into existence has gone to Samsung. If you own, put a stop loss in 5%-10% below current price in case stock gets pounded unexpectedly.
DON'T BUY
This is a stock you have to stay away from. The business is massively under attack from both Google (GOOG-Q) and Apple (AAPL-Q). Dirt cheap, but dirt cheap stocks can be real value traps.
WAIT
Would have to be under $25 to be on his watch list, but he is watching it. One of the best balance sheets out there. No debt or stupid acquisitions. What they need is killer products. He has a lot more faith in management than other analysts out there.
DON'T BUY
No debt and a great long-term track record. Trading at 5X trailing earnings. The whole cell phone/wireless market has really become a consumer dominated market. This one has suddenly become uncool. Missed the last product cycle. Being something that is almost as good is not good enough. Also losing a lot of ground on the corporate side.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick June 22/10. Down 55.38%.) They're still holding their subscriber growth. There is tremendous value in this stock if they can get the execution right.
BUY
Fallen to about 1.5X Book Value. ROE, even with severely cut back earnings, is still better than 20%, so it is getting fairly cheap. The real concern is the long term survivability against its competition. Now a trading stock, Not a Buy and Hold.
COMMENT
Key problem is the speed of getting technology into the market place. QNX technology is fine, but the space and speed of it is the problem. Statistically it is as cheap as you can imagine. Possibly it is a take-over target. Next earnings report is Sept 16th. He took his weight down to half before the last call.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick July 8/10. Down 46.73%.) His model price is $70.98. iPhone 5 is coming out. If the news gets really bad he thinks this will go down to $20.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick June 23/10. Down 56.84%.) Stock appears to have bottomed out in the last 2 to 3 weeks but there is still work to be done.
DON'T BUY
Would avoid this stock completely. There are way too many down gaps. (A gap is where a stock has a substantial price movement.) Doesn't think everybody that wants to sell it have sold it yet. Wouldn't be surprised to see it trading down around $25 in the next couple of months.
