TOP PICK
World’s largest retailer. Just gave a 21% dividend increase. Analysts didn’t like the last quarter when their same store sales growth was negative so the stock was punished. Trading at 11.5X 2011 earnings. Likes that they buy back shares and reduce debt. New focus on merchandising. 2.8% yield.
COMMENT
Has lost its mojo. So much competition with Target and Cosco. They are now the biggest grocery store in North America. Don’t expect double-digit gains. Hard to recommend, except that we could end with higher food inflation.
DON'T BUY
In 10 years it has gone nowhere. We know how much it has expanded and how the earnings have grown in this time. It has had tremendous earnings compression. Wouldn’t own it because he doesn’t know when they will get increased multiple.
TOP PICK
9% growth on a global company. If you agree with concept that we are looking at a declining standard of living in the western world, they will benefit, not high-end retailers. 13x PE, 2.4% dividend, ROE of over 22%. Risk would be a severe double dip and increased unemployment.
DON'T BUY
Was a growthy story back at the turn-of-the-century and even into the 1990s but has become less so. It is a defensive issue in that people have piled in through the 08-09 period but once things started to get better, they left this and went in for more growth. Fully valued.
BUY
A play on a lower demographic area and should benefit in slower times.
BUY
Benefited when consumer was concerned about the future. As consumers started to get more confidence, they began moving to branded names. Good core position though.
BUY
Doesn't feel you can get hurt with this company. Sound management and loves the way they run their company. Annual return for the long-term will be 6%-8%. Long-term hold.
WEAK BUY
Globally, a leader in retailing. Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.B-N) has been buying recently, which makes it interesting. Hard to see how competition could gain meaningful share against them. Not a growth stock but should grow its BV over time.
COMMENT
(Market Call Minute.) Doesn't see the growth in this. If you look 10 years it is pretty much where it is. Could be a trading stock.
DON'T BUY
When times were bad everyone wanted to be here. If people see economic recovery is not going to be so robust, they may return to Walmart. No one buys for the dividend, but it’s nice it’s there. He doesn’t think retail is a great place to be.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Sept 8/08. Down 17.13%.) Stopped out in Sept/Oct last year. Wouldn't buy.
WEAK BUY
Has gained about 10% in share value compared to average of about 50%. It is because they are defensive and since market found a bottom. Money is flowing out of it. Is trading at a reasonable rate and company could grow at 7%.
BUY
Great Company. Trading at lowest PE since 2000. This is not a high beta stock and is not where people want to be right now. They under performed in the recent rally. Increased gross margins by 110 basis points last quarter. Strong company with good global growth. Cheap multiple; increasing dividend; and $15 Billion buy back. Big issue is will they keep the customers that came from higher end retailers.
DON'T BUY
As the Cdn$ appreciates it takes away the return from a US investment and it is not compelling enough for her to buy. This company has benefited with this recession. Consumers are still very price conscious.
