ACM,
DON'T BUY
Too expensive for what you're getting, over 20x earnings. Whole space has stalled. Within the company, any promise would be in opticals such as 5G, automotive displays.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick May 12/22, Down 2.9%)Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly Our PAST TOP PICK with GLW is progressing well. To remain disciplined, we recommend trailing up the stop (from $27) to $29 at this time.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jun 28/21, Down 19%) Sold it last fall for $36. They're a cyclical stock, suffering supply chain shortages. Sales are down. But a great company. Make fibre-optic company. Looking to re-enter this after the supply chain rectifies.

Unlock this Panic-proof Portfolio opinion with Stockchase Premium

Curated by Michael O'Reilly since 2020.
1550+ opinions with 4.81 rating (one of the best performing expert).

TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly GLW is the maker of Gorilla Glass, vaccine vials, and glass products used in LED display and fiber optics. It operates in 15 countries. Recent earnings seem to demonstrate the continued ability to pass along rising costs to its customers, making it a good inflation hedge. And with next years earnings expected to be stronger, it supports a 13x earnings valuation, compared to peers at 28x. The dividend has been growing for 13 consecutive years and is expected to be a payout ratio of <45%, based on next year's earning outlook. The company has been using some cash reserves to buy back stock and retire debt, but there is plenty still left in the tank. We recommend a stop loss at $27, looking to achieve $46 -- upside potential over 30%. Yield 3.0% (Analysts’ price target is $46.10)
HOLD
Longer term, room for growth. A company with low earnings predictability. During times of angst, market is not as confident in it, so it trades off. Valuation of 14.5x earnings. Glass for technology and fibre optics. Decent hold, expect volatility.
TOP PICK
They make gorilla glass for the iPhone and flat screen TVs. 5G will cause their fibre business to grow. Hey have huge free cash flow, more than a reasonable valuation, and double digit growth with a growing dividend. (Analysts’ price target is $48.38)
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Apr 20/20, Up 131%) The drawdown when the market pulled back was much further than it has historically been. A good business. Should look at it when the dividend is around 3%. It is a mission critical product for glass, tvs, etc. He no longer holds it.
BUY
A solid industrials company. They've been up and down for a long while, but now have gotten their act together.
BUY
It's performed reasonably well. He expects good growth in years to come in healthcare and iPhone-related (they make the glass) businesses.
DON'T BUY
They don't create enough profit. Won't benefit from the vaccine rush.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Sep 06/19, Up 12%) Likes it and its 5G exposure. Sold because it didn't hold up well during the March 23 selloff, and likely wouldn't do so again. Fairly valued at these levels. If it got into the $15-20 range, he'd be a buyer again.
BUY
It's cyclical. They make glass for the environmental sector as well as for iPhones. A great free cash flow generator and solid dividend grower. He sees a lot of upside from here.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick May 07/19, Down 34%) It's down because of lower iPhone sales. GLW is a leader in fibre optics, so GLW will do well in the 5G rollout. Shares are cheap now, trading with a solid dividend and strong cash flow. Solid. This is a buying opportunity.
TOP PICK
It has been hit so has a discounted valuation. 3% dividend when it is on sale. There is the 5G rollout. There will be a lot more remote working going forward. Buy it when it is on sale. The dividend should be relatively safe. (Analysts’ price target is $26.42)
BUY ON WEAKNESS
Has a great business line, but not a great stock. It's been rangebound for a while, so you can buy it at $28, then sell at $33-34, and play it that way.
