Stockchase Opinions

David Driscoll Pitney Bowes PBI-N DON'T BUY Aug 08, 2013

Does the rumour that IBM is looking to acquire this company, make any sense? That makes no sense at all. IBM is really trying to battle out in the cloud computing space. Think of this company as being an outlier that is just getting old branded. Debt to cash flow ratio is humongous.

DON'T BUY
Dividend is unsustainable because of low earnings. Also getting competition.
DON'T BUY
Won’t have a lot of growth. Prefers other stocks.
TOP PICK
A slow growth industry but, they are the best in the business. Usually raise their dividend every year.
HOLD
Solid company that pays a solid dividend, and is a company that nobody knows. Having a touch time because everyone is going on line. There are better possibilities, but if you own it, hold on to it.
DON'T BUY

Nice dividend. Payout ratio is low. When you look at their suite of products, this is a dying business. This stock is cheap for a reason. Products are all centered around snail mail. 11% yield is a real red flag. Doesn’t know if they will survive.

DON'T BUY

Has a great yield of 12%, for exactly the wrong reason, i.e. the price has been dropping. There is no catalyst here. This is postage and postage meters and more and more people are not using the mail. Right now they are covering their dividend but he doesn’t feel this will last for long.

DON'T BUY

May have bottomed but he is concerned about the dividend which seems a little high. 3 consecutive years of earnings declining. 81% payout ratio. Serious headwinds as an industry.

DON'T BUY

12.3%. Well known secular decliner. Sales declines are starting to accelerate. It is cheap, but the problem is that they have debt. They make their money on postage.

DON'T BUY
The CEO is smart, but everything they try seems to fail. It ain't working.
