Stock price when the opinion was issued
This is the one he likes in the space. Part of its business is very utility-like. Steady dividend, which will rise over time. Dividend also looks attractive in the face of an economic slowdown when interest rates would fall. Hold for the long haul.

Generally when there are spinouts, the spinout is set up for success. So he usually likes those products. At the beginning there are often a bunch of people who don't know it, sell it off, and that can be an opportunity.
