They have recently taken profit. He still likes it and may consider getting back in. There are headwinds with slower iPhone sales, but there is no other big cap that offers the same growth potential. He wonders if growth in emerging markets potentially being for lower cost phones.

He looked at it a year ago while it was going through re-structuring. He thinks it still has not fully bottomed in price. They are now selling parts of the business to pay down debt and funding costs may be going up. About 40% of their business is in turbine power business and that may be slowing down.

He sold this about 2 years ago. As the US housing market recovered this had done well. Now that US housing is slowing and US interest rates may be near 5-6%, he thinks this could further impact demand. He likes the yield and thinks it would continue to be a hold. (Analysts’ price target is $13.86)

A record Black Friday and strong Cyber Monday. This is not a valuation they could justify owning now at. They are expanding into many markets, but the multiples are just too high.

The integration of WGL and concerns over funding costs were overshadowed by a weak quarterly earnings report. They sold out at $18.25. They own good quality assets, but financing costs and concerns over higher interest rates is casting doubt out the dividend being maintained. Their risk management would not allow them to enter into this.

He owns it and believes the market over-punished it for the recent missed earnings. He still likes it and is closing to adding more to their position. Yield 6%. (Analysts’ price target is $39.67)

He likes the asset management model going forward. They have a great reputation for running their business. It would be highly leveraged to the US market. He would prefer to own the parent company (BX-N), who is less levered to European assets.
