Patheon (PTI.TO)

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Nov 16/04. Up 14%.) Thinks it will go to at least the top of the trading range of $16. The times are right for the group.
SELL
Would sell into this strength. An extremely tough business. It's characterized by rapid turnover of products, capital intensive and very fleeting profitability. Fully valued. Legal issues with management that has to be worked through.
BUY
Believes in the long term management. Just made an acquisition in Puerto Rico which will be good.
TOP PICK
What will be emerging over the next decade is more health care and cheaper. Attractive price. A good consevative way to participate in a growth sector.
DON'T BUY
Year-end selling took place and there is a rally coming out of year end. Doesn't meet his tests.
TOP PICK
Trading at a very cheap multiple at about 14 X versus its historical multiple of 20 X earnings. The last 3 quarters have started to see the earnings ramp up. Margins are better too. Also likes their Peurto Rico acquisition which can be very accretive to them.
DON'T BUY
Has had a lot of promise, but has never come through. Has made a lot of acquisitions and taken on a lot of debt. Earnings have not come through the way they should have.
TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Sept 14/04. Up 4%.) Has been into long term support this fall. Likes the sector.
TOP PICK
Feels that pharmaceutical companies are under a lot of pressure and have to become more efficient in manufacturing and increasing outsourcing. Likes the acquisition. Very profitable plants. Will generate surplus cash.
HOLD
Seems like they have one bad situation after another. Now have an issue with the OSC. Still believes the story. Very good management. Very cheap.
DON'T BUY
Once confusion starts, it never seems to go away, especially in this unforgiving market.
SELL
OSC is conducting a probe re insider trading. Really haven't delivered on their promises. A very difficult business. Capital intensive.
WAIT
Feels the bottom will be about $8.20 as long as there is no other cockroaches. Could drop further with tax loss selling in Nov/Dec.
BUY
One of the better manufacturers of drugs. Had a stumble this last year as a drug being manufactured in the UK reached the end of its product cycle. Has positive earnings. Not a low PE. Prospects are quite good.
BUY
Well managed company. Has had some problems with a plant in the UK, but this is getting cleared up. Profitable.
