WATCH
Great company and has done very well recently. Concerned about the big divergence from the original peak that the MACD shows. Looks like the up trend line has been broken. From an options standpoint, if you like the company and its fundamentals, he would sell puts. Could be a little dangerous on the Long side.
HOLD
Been dead for 5 years. Had problems on their hardware side and their service side wasn’t making enough money as well as problems with mass over runs. Now focused on the mainframe side and upgrading the service side. Thinks the stock has a little more legs to it.
HOLD
Cheap at 14-15 X earnings. Not a fast growing company. More than 50% of its business is in services, outsourcing the IT operations. That grows 5%, maybe 6% a year, but they have been growing at 3%-4%. Would be good to hold if there is a correction.
HOLD
Finally getting things fixed on the service side, which is their major driver. Needs capital expenditures by big corporations and they are nor spending.
BUY
Had a bounce pretty close to its previous highs. There are rumours of a possible takeover. Have shifted their focus from hardware to software and seem to be firing on al cylinders. Technically they look very strong.
DON'T BUY
Had a pretty good earnings per share in this most recent quarter. The data that stuck out like a sore thumb was their global services, their consulting division, which comprises about 50%, only grew by 3%. Makes you wonder where the organic growth is going to come from.
BUY
Have done very well in selling hardware as companies have had to upgrade data base equipment and take on memory storage. Have been a little sluggish on the service side, but the hardware has been propelling them.
BUY
Just reported a solid quarter. There is probably a little bit of upside. If it gets close to $100, you want to start to peel back. A little below fair value.
SELL
A very strong company but is mature so high percentage growth is unlikely. Will continue to languish.
WATCH
Technology stocks in general have been poor performers. In the low $70’s has always been a good time to pick away at this name and sell it in the high $80’s area. If there is a rally in the NASDAQ, this would be a good solid name to add to your proposal.
BUY
Disappointing stock price performance over the last year. Reported earnings that were well above expectations. Cheap.
BUY
A quality company. Recession resistant because most of its revenue is service oriented. Not the growth story it was in the past, but also not as cyclical.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Dec 22/05. No change.) Corporations are flush with cash but they are doing mergers, acquisitions and share buybacks and have not started on the new product cycle yet. When they do, IBM will be a major beneficiary.
PAST TOP PICK
IBM is up a little since being a top pick. She still owns it and is still buying. IBM has very diversified product lines. It is a value company.
DON'T BUY
Always overvalued.
