Paul Harris, CFA Bayerische Motoren Werke AG BMW-GR COMMENT May 21, 2019

(A Top Pick Jul 24/18, Down 18%) Auto stocks have remained out of favour longer than he thought, despite this stock having a good dividend. The Chinese market turned down sharply, following comments from President Trump. There is nothing wrong with the company. He expects them to manufacture more e-vehicles than Tesla this year. Yield 5%

The traditional car makers have finally made moves to catch up to Tesla. In one of the best positions to benefit from cyclical and secular trends. Margins are improving, leading to a higher stock multiple. Yield is 2.30%. (Analysts’ price target is $84.65)

(A Top Pick Mar 24/21, Up 15%) Still bullish. Shares were flatlining since 2015 as the auto industry slumped, but recently the Tesla and EV cloud has lifted a bit. BMW is now planning to move into EVs as margin outlook improves.

Trades at 6x earnings. Even through pandemic, increased production and sales slightly. Upper-end brand name. Consumer's down and so is China, but you'll see activity once that turns. Wealthy in China are still increasing, and that's a big market for them. EV offering is better than TSLA's. Yield is 7.26%.
