Impressive balance sheet. In the right space. Got whacked when BlackBerry (BB-T) pulled their business, but they seemed to have replaced that with other stuff. Great capital management. The problem is that it is such a low margin business and there is no moat to their business. It is very tough for him to Buy this company.
Has been extremely surprised at how well it’s done. They have relationships with every single car manufacturer. Balance sheet is in great shape. He is looking to pare some profits, but thinks car sales are going to be very strong for the next 2 to 3 years, so not ready to get out of the name just yet.
A spin-off from Kimberley Clark (KMB-N). It’s big business is fine paper, stationary, etc. but there is no growth in that. They are focusing on labels and filtration where there is a lot of growth. Operate in health care and automotive and they have great return on capital. High ROE and buying back stock. Yield of 2.16%.
Likes owner/operated companies. A huge media conglomerate. The sexy stuff is the movies, but the meat and potatoes is the TV networks. Owns a lot of content such as MYV, Comedy Central. Thinks that at some point something is going to happen with this company. Company is buying back stock. Yield of 1.61%.
Beer drinking has finally stabilized. Seemed that everybody was saying nobody is drinking beer any more. Global beer sales were up in the last quarter. They are also the biggest craft brewer in the world. Likes its joint venture with SABMiller called MillerCoors. Thinks at some point SAB is going to look at Millers to Buy it. If so that could be hugely accretive to its earnings. Yie;d of 2.2%.
A wonderful company. Owner operated. Has claimed they are going to buy back stock if it goes any lower. Generating a lot of free cash. Fully occupied. 6% dividend yield.
