WPK is a bit of a 'sleeper'. It has $450M net cash, and is 53% owned by its parent. The stock is cheap. Looking at consensus estimates, EPS growth is really expected to slow down, and is essentially going to be flat next year. Expectations are for sales +5% and EPS to go from $2.33 to $2.34. Assuming nothing else happens, it looks like the 'ramp up' is likely over.

We reiterate this manufacturer of food, beverage and healthcare product packaging as a TOP PICK.  Recently reported EPS was up 16%, representing the highest Q1 earnings achievement in company history.  It trades at 16x earnings and 1.7x book.  We recommend maintaining the stop at $39, looking to achieve $53 -- upside potential over 21%.  Yield 0.2%

DON'T BUY
Winpak Ltd.
Their customer base is the food industry and it does not grow that much. This company can only grow when they make acquisitions. There is nothing wrong with it but there is not enough upside to buy. It is a good company.

Winpak Ltd.
It is a very well run company. They run it like a private company. They are very focused on the return of incremental capital. They have never had dilution in share capital since the day they went public. They are not cheap but these companies usually are not. It is a little overvalued at present.

Winpak Ltd.
Excellent operators, but are they also excellent allocators of capital. Underlevered, overcapitalized. Pay a special dividend. Sold it recently, and moved into CCL, as it's more global. North American-centric. Will generate lower revenues and profits from new K-cups process. Organic growth has slowed down. Facing more competition. Hold on if you're a long-term investor, as there may be a catalyst at some point.

(A Top Pick January 8/18 - Down 1%.) Part of the industrials that experienced massive multiple contraction. Earnings are growing. Lots of cash on the balance sheet. Still like it a lot.

HOLD
Winpak Ltd.

A good growth story over the past decade, growing without issuing new equity. The packaging space has been challenged the past two years though. He wouldn't enter this space now, but it's okay to hold WPK for the long-term. Pays a 0.26% dividend only.

BUY
Winpak Ltd.

This business makes small acquisitions that are incremental. They have high margins and high returns. They think very long term. He does not think it is properly appreciated.
