HOLD
Trading at a discount compared to its competition. Feels it has lesser downside risks but lesser upside. Consider going down the supply chain with companies such as Maxim Integrated (MXIM-Q), Altera Semiconductor (?) (ALTR-Q) or Broadcom (BRCM-Q). They provide the broadband and components for smart phones to work.
TOP PICK
(Top Pick Jan 29/10, Down 13.86%) There is no inherent weakness in their technology and they are coming out with new products. International is a huge growth area for them and more than for apple. Blackberry messenger is particularly addictive to young people. Their product is secure, with the others the gov’t could be listening.
BUY
Has never been cheaper on a fundamental basis. New York analysts are non-believers in this story. Reached the stage where it doesn’t matter what their earnings or forecasts are. At 8 or 9 times earnings and a lot of cash on the balance sheet, there should be a limited downside.
BUY
Strong results and the stock had a bounce but is now pulling back, possibly because of profit taking. Attractive investment right now and is trading at a very low multiple. US sales are declining but international growth is growing.
DON'T BUY
Very good 3rd quarter number and were up 40%. Might be a cheap stock if they can turn themselves into a consumer product company but that is enormously hard to do.
BUY
Just reported 45% earnings and record sales at 40%. US analysts love to hate this one. Good potential growth stock both near term and long term.
WATCH
Reporting tomorrow and thinks the consensus number will be $1.64. Will be interested in what the Playbook looks like.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jan 28/10. Down 11.01%.) Growing quickly and it’s cheap.
BUY
Expects earnings to go from $6.18 to $6.89, 11% growth into Feb/12. New Playbook will be significant for them as it introduces 1) new operating system and 2) ability to run on duo processors. Expect that platform will end up in handsets this coming summer. May be 5 million orders right out of the gate from corporations.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Dec 9/09. Down 8.76%.) Has continued to meet all expectations in terms of earnings growth and market share. Extremely miss priced. Still growing at 25% a year but only trading at 9X earnings.
TOP PICK
Even if they lose market share, the market is growing so quickly that revenues will continue to grow. Expect they will show 20%-30% earnings growth rate. Trades at 7X earnings and has no debt.
TOP PICK
Thinks the Playbook is going to work. Will be one of the 3 or 4 players surviving the smart phone market. Expect they will do way better than people are expecting. Trading at under 10X earnings.
HOLD
Has been in the news recently when one a former Canadian based analyst went into the US and gave a glowing report. RIM is yesterday’s technology and is playing catch up with Apple (AAPL-Q). PlayBook looks really interesting but not sure how much a 7” screen is going to entice people to make the switch. If you own, hold until the release of the PlayBook but be very tight with your Stops.
HOLD
A highly competitive market. This company dominates business applications. Thinks it will be a survivor. On a very long view, it could do well. Well managed.
DON'T BUY
Sold put options against it. The earnings aren’t there, but he thinks they will be a survivor. Loves the company but it is a very competitive field right now.
