BUY
Have sold a lot of businesses and the remaining one is pretty well tied to the economy. New management has turned it around nicely.
WAIT
Has some interesting technology. Getting back to their core knitting.Earnings are expected to turn from minus $0.12 to plus $0.06 by January '06. Has a 10 P/E against some pretty good earnings growth. In the near term, sales are down 24%. Ranks in the bottom 10% of the database. Wait to see some good quarters.
BUY
In the top 15/18% of his database. Expected to earn $0.09 at its January/06 year end giving it a P/E of 10. Earnings are then expected to rocket ahead to $0.18 giving a 48% earnings growth with a P/E of 5 which is extremely cheap. Likes the stock.
WEAK BUY
In the top 15% of his database at 87. Makes very interesting vision systems that help construction. Most recent earnings showed a growth of about 100%. Earnings from ’06 to ’07 are forecast to grow from $0.07 to $0.18. P/E is extremely cheap at 4 X, but be mindful that there is only one analyst covering this. Speculative.
BUY
Ranks high, 51 out of 700 in his model. Top 5% of his database. Laser projection systems to help lay up carbon fibre is driving the strong success of the company. (Boeing uses this material for their jets) Sold out in the 4th quarter of ‘05 and 1st of ‘06 and the backlog stretches out about 9 months. Also active in housing. Earnings expected a go from $0.03 to $0.13 which gives a 9 PE.
BUY
A low-risk way of getting into the aerospace side. Ranks 17 out of 700 in his database. Small market cap at $33 million. Jan/07 earnings are expected to be $.13, up from $.03 which gives a P/E of 9 X’s. Cheap.
BUY
In the top 15% of the database at 40. Stock is dirt cheap, but there is only one analyst covering it. Earnings expected to go from $.03 to $.13 Jan/07 and $.21 Jan/08.
BUY
Ranks high in his model at 48. The biggest challenge is that there is only one analyst that covers the company. Earned $0.03 in ‘05 which is expected to go up to $.13 the following year and then $.21. Also working on interesting a laser technology system for Boeing.
HOLD
Their last quarter was an absolute disaster and he is now fairly cautious because of the surprise and increased expenses. No longer a buy.
COMMENT
In the midst of a prospectus based financing. Ranks 421 in the model. Torn between the huge opportunity they have on the aerospace side versus the slowdown they have on the lumber related side of the Company.
