A repeated theme is the company's recent turnaround phase, but with varying opinions on whether it warrants holding, selling, or even partial divestment.

Lactalis
HOLD
The company is doing all the right things. Making the right acquisitions, growing the company properly and not over promising.
HOLD
Reported some phenomenal numbers. Beat expectations by $.10. Even though it's got fantastic management, fundamentals of cheese just don't have the spreads between milk and cheese lining up. Clean balance sheet and lots of cash. Wouldn't chase it.
PAST TOP PICK
(A top Pick Oct 12/06. Up 1.5%.) Reasonable valuation. Good balance sheet. 2% dividend. Still likes.
TOP PICK
A Canadian based company with a lot of operations in the US. Earnings have been a little weaker of late due to margin compression. California Department of Agriculture re-set the price of milk versus cheese and that will add $5 million to earnings. The US government is looking at a similar proposal. 2.5% yield.
HOLD
Just made 2 acquisitions. A well-run company. Focused a lot on the cheese business but is expanding into other sectors.
BUY
Good company and will grow if they make acquisitions. Management is slow in making acquisitions as they do not like to overpay.
HOLD
The problem has been the spread between cheese prices and rock milk prices, which has been narrowing. Regulated markets. There are signs the spread is starting to improve in the US. A good defensive stock.
TOP PICK
Expects 2005 will be a low growth year, so not a bad idea to have some stocks that are in industries that are staples, such as food. Have a dominant position in Canada. Good price. Not a huge growth story, but nice and steady.
TOP PICK
A stable company. May not have fabulous growth, but has reliable earnings and not trading at huge multiples. Very reliable management.
BUY
A potential buyer of the Parmalat assets. Their move into the US cheese market has been very successful.
BUY
Long term I like it. Well run in Canada. Good potential. Buy on 5% pull back.
DON'T BUY
Have a lot of cash and pays a dividend. Fully valued at this time.
TOP PICK
Has been in decline. In consolidation price. Should have significant upside.
WEAK BUY
Safe investment, but may not have big growth.
WEAK BUY
Dominant player in their sector. A good long term hold.
