Stock Opinions by Stephanie Link, Chief investment strategist, Hightower

PARTIAL SELL

She's up 160%, so she trimmed it. It's fairly rich. Are better opportunities in data centres like Eaton. Would buy back GEV at better levels.

BUY

She trimmed GE Vernoa to buy more Eaton and Quanta Services, and both just reported blow-out quarters. Quanta: EBITDA +40%, backlog +14%. Eaton: data centres +45%, pipeline +65%, and backlog 3x more than normal. Good valuations.

BUY

Fine growth and amazing turnaround story.

BUY

Has a great platform strategy and products; growing cash flow to $4.5 billion by year's end. Will rebound as they execute.

BUY

Growing faster than expected: total revenues +27%, product revenue 28%. They guided 8% margin expansion, and this is the story going forward. It's been volatile, but are positioned well for 2025. They announced a partnership with MSFT.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

She added more, despite the pain, down 20% from highs. Doesn't like the valuation, but likes the diversification of revenues, not just data centres but also software. She will buy on the way down.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

She added more, because it got so cheap at 9x forward PE. She expects housing to rebound. In fact, Home Depot saw its first positive comp in 8 quarters. 

BUY

Likes CEO. It's been gaining market share for 7 straight quarters as inventory declines the past 8. 

BUY

Bought more. Great management and M&A strategy, which will add to earnings regardless of the oil price. Likes their cost control and cash flow.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Is down 20% in 6 months and trades at 6.5x EBITA vs. 12x historically, strong managers, $20 billion free cash flow and new share buybacks.

BUY

Her best performer this month, with revenues growing 40%. Excellent balance sheet, drug pipeline and managers. She just entered this and will buy on dips.

BUY

60% of EBITDA comes from Macau, which is recovering; she's bullish here because LVS has done a ton of renovations that completes this spring. Trades at 11x EBITDA vs. 14x historic. Is -20% the past year.

WEAK BUY

Housing has a long way to go, but was up in Q4. She will take any improvement. They have very easy comps. 

WEAK BUY

They're in the second inning of their turnaround, and shares remain cheap. Expectations remain low.
