WAIT
Is becoming more of a value name, but problem is where is the growth coming from. Does not rank that high in his system. He is waiting for the playbook to compare to the iPad II. They have the advantage on security but it is being questions in several countries. The question is if they keep the strangle hold in the enterprise business.
BUY
It is a value stock now as well. Sitting on a tone of cash. They should implement a dividend. It would give short sellers a bit of trouble.
TOP PICK
Keen to get his hands on the playbook. It operates on a new operating system and has dual processors. Has a full QWERTY keyboard on the screen. Stock at the moment is cheap. 46% ROE and 8.5 times Feb 2011 PE. The key is whether the new products will gain them market share. Playbook will have robust security, whereas Apple’s product can be hacked into.
BUY
Great technology stocks get to a point where they are not able to grow any further. He homes Jim will break this trend. He is encouraged by the new product line and that fact that Jim is focused on the business. You can’t take on the business and the NHL at the same time.
BUY
Likes it and is a buyer for new accounts. He thinks the whole space is about to take off. Has proven that it is technologically competent. P/E compared to Apple makes it cheap.
WATCH
Doesn’t pay a dividend so he doesn’t own but is following it. Also very volatile. Have to come out with new products that resonate with consumers. In the last 6 months it has gravitated from a growth stock to a value stock. Would prefer it at a lower price.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
Was very impressed with Apple’s (APPL-Q) new iPad. RIM has not got their new Playbook out yet. Expect Apple to be a formidable competitor for the next couple of years. Would wait for a better buying opportunity, but if you own continue to Hold. Demand for these types of things is going to explode.
DON'T BUY
Not a good time to buy – he doesn’t like the strategy – they are late to the party. Doesn’t see them gaining any significant market share. Sees them slowly losing market share over time. Even though the balance sheet is great. It’s a classic value trap.
COMMENT
Potential for Playbook hasn't been priced into the stock. Increased handset shipments by 40% in 2010. Also beat analysts’ estimates last quarter. Technology tends to do well October into January. Technically, chart shows a lot of support at $45 with lower highs from early 09. Broke out late 2010 breaking a long-term trend, which is very positive so technicals look very good. Could see it going to $72.
TOP PICK
(A Top Pick April 19/10. Down 9.98%.) Smart phone market continues to expand. Will continue to have a strong position in the business market and will continue developing new products for the consumer. Strong internationally.
HOLD
Probably one of the more controversial technical stocks for analysts. Very cheap at 9 or 10 times earnings. Market is expecting margins to compress significantly. Percentage of US smart phone shares has been in a downward trajectory for about 1-1.5 years. Hyper competitive industry.
TOP PICK
Still trading at 10x earnings. It’s too difficult to pass up. Some good press south of the border. They bought QNX in April, which is behind the software in the new Play Book.
BUY
His model price is $84.18, a positive differential of 25%.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
Earnings are heading up. Chart shows the stock is in an upward band but would wait for it to drop to the lower level ($62?). This is one where he writes options all along because the premiums are always volatile.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Match 15/10. Down 12.56%.) Playbook is coming and the reviews are extremely positive. Expecting a couple surprising quarters of sales. Very cheap at 10X earnings and is still a Buy.
