HOLD
He was happier when the stock was at $60 a few weeks ago. Reiterated guidance of 2-3% growth this year, but market was hoping they'd benefit more from low price of oil. Stock can do well over $6/EPS as long as oil doesn't run back to $80 and the economy doesn't fall apart. Materially undervalued as a trading opportunity.
HOLD
Sell underperformers and switch to those with more potential in a recovery? It's always hard. It's a game of averages. You have to go with your best idea that you have the most conviction in. Small caps do worse in a lousy market compared to big caps. It's cheap here. Got hammered last quarter with concerns about the media division, but he thinks this is temporary. But his opinion may not be the best, as he's liked this for 3 years and it's only gone one way.
HOLD
Has owned for a while. One of the more defensive companies you can own. Medical things you can only use once. Sells a suite of products and software to hospitals. Lots of EM opportunities. Still has to pay down debt from an acquisition, but but in 12-18 months should be ready for another. Good place to be with aging demographics, especially in US.
HOLD
Where do you see an exit point? Exit, never. He'll sell when Warren Buffet sells. Expecting a pretty lousy quarter. They have the most unbelievable pricing power. Diversifying. Can't guarantee there won't be a little volatility when earnings come out, but that's the time to buy more.
DON'T BUY
At its low? Terrible balance sheet. Grasping at straws, making an expensive acquisition because they're late to the party. Not at all interested. Buy Apple if you're looking for a beaten-up tech company.
BUY
You have to own this company if you think people will continue to love their iPhones.
TOP PICK
Betting on no recession, and folks are going to travel. Vail has collected some of the best resorts. They spend money acquiring assets, or improving the customer experience of company operations. Generates a lot of free cash. Seriously undervalued. Yield is 2.7%. (Analysts’ price target is $286.88)
