PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Feb 18/10. Down 12.77%.) Good value and he sees good upside growth. Market is not properly valuing the international growth that they have been putting up. Focused too much on the US where it has struggled more. The cash flow supports a much higher valuation.
HOLD
Tablet is why the stock has bounced a little bit. Even if they only get 10% market share it will be huge. RIM is not expensive, but American investors just don’t have to buy it. If it gets to $70 he would take profits.
BUY
A lot of change in the smart phone market right now because of new competitors and everyone trying to grow. Also overall market is growing globally. Rim has lost share in North America but are definitely growing share internationally, which is where the growth is longer term. Have key products that are in the market place. Will also be launching their own tablet. Very attractive multiple at 10.5X 2011 earnings.
TOP PICK
Everyone know about iPhone and Android. Rim generates 3.5 Billion free cash flow, no debt. It may base for a bit. Good entry point.
DON'T BUY
Earnings per share numbers are very strong. Devices due for release in the next little while look promising. Valuation is very compelling. Wouldn’t Buy if you don’t already own it until their new tablet is in the market place. (Apple’s (APPL-Q) iPad version 2 will be coming out at the same time.)
COMMENT
Nat fairly valued. Way too cheap. You have to be careful as Droid and iPhone is eating its lunch. A lot of optimism on its new Playbook but doesn’t know if it will hit its targets.
TOP PICK
Some risks over the next year with introduction of Playbook and migrating the new operating system on to the Blackberry but smart phone industry is growing at a great rate and they will participate, particularly outside the US. If it works out, you are looking at a double. Trading at 8X earnings.
BUY
Trading at 10-12 times earnings. Significant free cash flow. In an extremely competitive industry.
DON'T BUY
Trading at under 9X forward earnings. Cheap but where is the future in terms of market share and what’s going to happen with Playbook that is supposed to come out some time this quarter. Not sure that it ranks well from a growth perspective. Would prefer Apple (AAPL-Q).
TOP PICK
Canadian analysts have an average $95 target price and US has $65. Trading at 8X earnings. Beat expectations 5 quarters in a row. Growing at 30% annually.
BUY
Just in Vegas for the tech show and they have the playbook coming out. They did a great job and have the dominant email and business franchise. Concerns about competition and competing operating systems. Motorola is back in that game. Will be volatile for sure. On a pure valuation basis, Apple is more expensive.
WAIT
Will face difficulties for most of this year. We have a lot of competition in tablets. You might wait until we see their new products and operating systems.
BUY
The model price is $81.70, that’s a 38% positive differential. Cheap at 10X earnings.
DON'T BUY
Stock is way too choppy and in a downtrend right now. Has been trading in a fairly tight range of low $50’s and low $60’s for most of the past year. Good support at $46 and if it bounced off this, there might be another $10. You need to see this before a positive trend develops. If you Buy or Own, use a Stop around the $50 level. Looking for significant resistance around $75.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
Great company but a very volatile stock. This is a trading stock as there are too many moving parts and too much competition in their space.
