Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O’Reilly We once again reiterate this private equity based income trust as a TOP PICK. It generates about 85% of its cashflow from US operations (the rest in Canada), in a well diversified portfolio of assets. It trades at 6x earnings compared to peers at 24x and trades at just over 1.1x book value. It pays a growing dividend, backed by a payout ratio under 45% of cash flow from operating activity. We recommend trailing up the stop (from $15.50) to $17.00, looking to achieve $21.00 -- upside potential over 15%. Yield 7.2% (Analysts’ price target is $18.24)

Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O’Reilly We again reiterate NYCB, a top services bank in Metro New York, New Jersey and other other regions, as a TOP PICK. It trades at 10x earnings versus peers at 12x, and is currently trading at book value. Rising interest rates will enhance their profitability. The dividend yield is high, backed by a payout ratio under 60% of cash flow. We recommend $10.50 as a stop loss, looking to achieve $15.00 -- 27% upside. Yield 5.87% (Analysts’ price target is $15.02)

Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O’Reilly We again reiterate SKX as a TOP PICK following its recently announced earnings. Reported earnings beat analyst expectations by 33%, and demonstrated a 12% ROE. It trades at 10x earnings compared to peers at 14x. We like that they have been using cash reserves to pay down debt. We recommend trailing up the stop (from $37) to $40, looking to achieve $62 -- upside potential over 29%. Yield 0% (Analysts’ price target is $61.92)
