ACM,
BUY ON WEAKNESS
A long-term hold. He's been buying around $28, though has moved above $30 today. A profit warning last quarter led to a pullback and buying opportunity. They've had a checkered past 12 months, but it's okay moving forward. It's a play on iPhone's continued growth. Now, it's a dollar away from an entry point.
TOP PICK
Digital optical communications. They make Gorilla Glass for large display units. Anytime you can buy this near a 3% yield, you are going to do well. Yield 2.87% (Analysts’ price target is $31.00)
TOP PICK
A company that is into industrial glass and pays a decent dividend. They are doing a share buyback. A low-beta company that is safe and steady. Yield 2.81% (Analysts’ price target is $34.59)
BUY
They make glass for cars and fiber-optics are back in a huge way (i.e. virtual reality). Trading at a cheap 14x earnings and have back a ton of stock in recent years. They benefit from the growth of technology and face few competitors.
TOP PICK
Known for their gorilla glass, but they're also into augmented reality, a growth market. They've bought back a third of their shares. Trading at 14x earnings. Expect double-digit dividend growth. (Analysts’ price target is $36.72)
HOLD
Earnings have been doing fine. He likes them as they sit in a great place for tech and telecom infrastructure spending. From here, he would hold, but would love to see it break above $35 resistance to add more. However, he is not convinced the market is going up forever, so watch your position closely and trade with a stop -- maybe $32.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jan 30/18, Up 6%) The company makes gorilla glass that is used on iPhones and also TV sets and they are a global leader. They have bought back almoe=st 50% of their shares in the last 5 years. Double digit dividend increases. He really likes it.
DON'T BUY
There is some real growth and application but the company has struggled to be identified. You would hope to see a little more from them over 10 years. You realize a bunch of value and then it gets stuck in the soup again. There are simpler stories out there. It is trading rich for a story with volatile earnings.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jan 29/18, Up 2%) Done an amazing job, optical division has great growth. Have a ton of cash, aggressively buying back stock, double-digit dividend increases. Incredibly long term management view, well run, and cheap.
BUY ON WEAKNESS

He probably owned it on 15 of the 40 years of his career. Not now. Most knowledgeable company on glass on the face of the earth. But they keep on being commoditized. A good company. Long term he would wait for a dip to buy it. (Analysts’ price target is $37.04)

BUY

Is in a great spot whether new home building or repairing an older home. Their business model is in great shape. The company has not had that much growth, so fits the model of value stocks, and having a jump. Great one to own for the longer term.

BUY

He expects double-digit earnings growth for the next 2-3 years. They have a pristine balance sheet and expects to see further dividend growth. They are involved in “gorilla glass” used in cellphone screens. They are a technology based company with not a lot of competitors.

BUY

Loves it and is still buying it. They make guerilla glass for iPhones. Share buybacks will aggressively continue. They have little competition.

TOP PICK

This has been buying back shares like crazy. Bought back about a 3rd of shares outstanding. They are still sitting with a ton of cash. They make the Gorilla glass for iPhones. Fibre optics, which was their big business back in the late 90s, has re-emerged again. Also has some other businesses that are related in the medical business and the emissions business. A double-digit grower selling at about 13X this year's earnings, so it is really, really cheap. Dividend yield of 1.91%. (Analysts' price target is $33.95.)

COMMENT

A very good company. The key reason he doesn't own this is that he doesn't like the fibre business. A lot of people believe no more fibre will be necessary incrementally. As we increase productivity of multiplexing over fibre, we haven't had to install it in the same fashion as in the past as broadband grew. Their display business bothers him a little, because it is a business where customers demand price cuts sequentially. He doesn't like businesses that have to cut prices. What would interest him is if their ion impregnated glass (gorilla glass) can be used in automobiles. It would substantially reduce the weight in a car.
