MU-MICRON TECHNOLOGY INC-Cap is 11.2b. Short interest is 5.83. P/E is 6. They are down 62% on the year. Analysts are varied. ook is at 11.93. They are supposed to have a great year, future is sorta unknown. Book grows at 8.93. Return on equity is at 16.99. Debt is at 49.51. Their earnings are going down in the dumps…but why. In consistent earnings, selling below book. Let’s say things stay flat. Lot’s of speculation about this company. I’d buy at 5. Their stock will probably shoot up. Price is at 10.8. I’ll put in a 7.5 and a 10 price point here as well.
LOOKS LIKE WE MAY HAVE A BIG DOWN DAY TODAY:
THRM-GENTHERM INC-They are nearing at 37.46. P/E is 15.67. Cap is 1.36b. Short interest is at 3.87. Analysts are bullish. Earnings are upward and pretty good. Book is 9.73. P/E average is at 40. EPS this year growth is 9.58. Next 3-5 is 25. Book growth is 43.57. Return on equity is at 27.32. Debt to assets is at 26.94. Been doing great lately, mean is 14 for r on e. These guys are growing and they seem to make car seat heaters. So lets say they keep a 15p/e and lets say we keep book growint at only 14. We could see book of 36.07. And with a 25 return that year. We could see EPS of 9, and thus a price of 135.26. I’d buy at 32-33.
PYPL-PAYPAL HOLDINGS INC-Sells at 32.2. Not far above their 52 week low. P/E is at 34.62. Cap is a lofty 39.34b. Short interest is 2%. Analysts are bearish. Book is 10.82 per share. EPS this year is 18% growth, and 17% moving forward. Book grows at 2.22. Return on equity is at 10.71. No debt. These guys prolly shouldn’t be judged based on return on equity. Let’s say they’ll grow at 5 return on equity, and let’s say their multiple is 30. Price of 17.82, and EPS of say 2.64, and thus we have a price of say 92.4. I speculate this company will grow and blossom. I think 22.5 or 22 is a reasonable entry point.
TZOO-TRAVELZOO INC-Price is at 7.3. P/E is at 9.13. Short interest is at 2. Cap is only 107m. Analysts are neutral. Book is 1.52. EPS is supposed to be up 20%. Book is growing at 5. Return on equity is 32.47. 3.93in debt. Earnings are unsteady. This is a really nice company for travel deals. I could see book at 2.48. and thus EPS of .496, and thus a price of 5. I can’t buy this company. I can buy at 1.5.
NVR-NVR INC-is a home builder in the US. They currently sell fro 1520 per share. They are up 18% on the year. P/E is 18.65. Cap is 5.95b. Short interest is 2.42. Analysts are very bullish. Book is 311 per share. Average p/e is 23.31. EPS growth this year is at 24.72. Next 3-5 is at 23.8. Book growth is negative. Return on equity is at 29. Debt is at 49.88. Earnings are upward but quarter to quarter, things are spotty. Return on equity is sorta spotty. I would call 18 a fair average. We’ll use a p/e of 17. We’ll say book grows at 8, we could see book of 671.43 per share and thus EPS of 167.82, and thus a value of 2,853.02…conservatively speaking. That’s a return of 6.5. I’d buy at 1200, given my multiples here.
BVX-BOVIE MEDICAL CORP-Sells at 2.15, down 60% on the year, but still up from the 52 week low of 1.72. P/E is 15.86. Cap is at 60.37. No short interest. Analysts are bullish. Book is .91 per share. EPS growth this year is 65%, and 15 going forwrad. Book has shrunk this past year. Return on equity is negative. Debt is at 15.73%. Historical r on e is insane. This is a stupid little company. I won’t buy.
AMWD-AMERICAN WOODMARK CORP-Sells at 66.22, up 64% on the year. No dividend, P/E is at 20.69. Cap is 1.06b. Short interest is at 3.51. Analysts are very bullish. Book is at 16.38. Earnings are expected this year. Book is growing at 5.57. REturn on equity is at 21.36. Debt is 8.65. These guys are a commodity cabinet maker. I don’t like their business.
EBAY-Not consistently profitable. Analysts are bullish.
ICLR-Sells at 69.49, up from the 52 week low of 55.21. P/E is 18.77. Cap is 3.87b. Short interest is 4.61. Book is 15.08 per share. EPS this year unknown, and in 3-5 unknown. Book growth is 10%. Return on equity is at 23.07. No debt. Earnings grow well, except they were terrible in 2010. These guys do outsourced clinical studies for biotech, medical devices and pharma. Looks like could lose a big account with phizer. Let’s see. I’ll consider investing at the end of 2016, price point? We could see book of 39.11, and thus EPS of 7.822, and conservatively, a price of 117.33. I’d buy em for 45-50, upon recheck of stats.
plnr – bought out
lrad-these guys have questionable management and they make sirens…weird
IVTY-recent ipo
LDL-LYDALL INC-these guys make performance filters. Cap is 470.53m. Short interest is at 1.28. P/E is at 10.08. They are selling for 27.69, near their 52 week low. Analysts are gaga. Book is 14.21 per share. EPS forward is 9.52. EPS next 3-5 is at 22.5. Book growth is at 6.28 over past 5 years. Return on equity is at 20.72, no real debt at 17.81. Historical return on equity is at a sort of uneven median of 6, but higher in recent years. We could see book of 26.13, and we could see EPS of 5.2, and thus a share price of 52. They seem like a good company, and they are expected to grow certainly. Historical earnings look great too. Earnings growth are at 22.22 compounded over the past 10 years. This company is just getting awesome, so they don’t have the pedigree of earnings and r on e. So it’s hard to give them a good valuation. Book has been growing at 4.84%. I just think this company is overbought. I’ll buy for sure at 15. I’ll put a trigger at 20. We’ll see. UPON REVIEW: They are now selling at 27.47. Book is still at 14.21. No dividend. Book value per share is compounding kinda slowly. But let’s say return on equity is 10, as it has been, and let’s give them a book of 36.86. With a r on e of 20, we could see EPS of 7.372 and with a 10 p/e we could see a value of 73.72. I just agree with that 20 price point.
calgon-filtration
YNDX-russian search engine…na.
VKTX-VIKING THERAPEUTICS-crap little company
PRAH-95 p/e
ASB-ASSOCIATED BANC CORP-These guys are selling at 16.38. Book is at 19.57. P/E is at 13.49. Book grows at 4.23. EPS this year 11% growth. Next 3-5 7.66 growth. Return on equity is 6.73. Debt is 118%. Dividend is at .44, with 10 and tax that’s about 5.14. Book could easily be at 29.62, and thus r on e would be 2 for a price of 20 + dividends of 5.14. I’ll buy if they come down to 7, 10, 15.
CE-CELANESE CORP-good earnings. Near their 52 week low, trading at 59.2. Analysts are neutral. Dividend is 1.2. P/E is 17.84. Cap is 8.69b. Short interest is 3.73. Book is 18.55. Growth this year is 5.79%. EPS growth next 3-5 is 8.42. Return on equity is 18.12. Debt is 88%. Return on equity is always really high. With 10 and tax, dividend comes to 10.39. Book sometimes grows at very high figures, and they go through the book for various reasons year to year. We’ll use a figure of 5%, but that is really pigeonholing them. Book will be 30.22 eps let’s say is 50, and thus we have EPS of 15, and using a reasonable p/e of 15, we have a value of 225 plus our 10.39 dividend for a prospective yet conservative value of 235.39. I may have to reevaluate, but this stock is close to a buy. I’ll put an alert out for 57, and then at 55, and I may have to crunch again before trigger is pulled.
CSII-CADRIOVASCULAR SYSTEMS INC- they don’t earn money.
DGII-DIGI INTERNATIONAL INC-Analysts lurve it. P/E is at 38.56. Short interest is at 1.3. Cap is at 265m. They are up 22 in the very recent past. Book is at 10.98 per share. P/E was historically 59.08. Earnings this year are supposed to be up 27%. Book is growing at 2.71. Return on equity is at 2.46. There is no debt. Ownership interest is at 3.4%. Earnings are spotty, and they were doing better 5+ years ago. Median return on equity is at 4.38. This company creates wireless connectivity and remote control over industrial machinery and other stuff. They don’t have enough stability, these guys are still using their book to stay afloat. We’re gonna find out about earnings tomorrow after market…so this thing may shoot up on friday…or crash.
ETFC-E TRADE FINANCIAL CORPORATION-Price is 24.33. Cap is at 7.13b. Short interest is at 1.74. P/E is at 33.53. They are up 11.91% on the year. Analysts are negative to neutral. Book is at 20.01. P/E historically is at 34.22. EPS growth this year is supposed to be way up. In next 3-5, up 18.51. Book grows at 7.47. Return on equity is at 3.94. 39% debt. We could see a book value of 39.36, we could see earnings of say 1.968, and thus a price of say 59. i guess I could buy at 15.
HBHC-HANCOCK HOLDING COMPANY-Price is 21.17. Dividend is at .96. Cap is 1.64b. Short interest is at 9. Analysts don’t like it. Book is at 31.65. P/E average is at 19, and P/E of 11 right now. Book value growth per share is at 24.17. EPS is at 20.57. Forward EPS is at 8. Return on equity is at 6.39. Debt is kinda low at 19%. We’ll say 10 for book growth in the future (book of 82.09), and with a return on equity of 7, we’ll see EPS of 5.74, and with a p/e of 10, we’ll see a price of 57.4, and thus a growth rate of 10.49. I can buy at 14.5
HXL-HEXCEL CORPORATION-Sells at 39.44. These guys have great earnings, but they seem a bit overweight. Dividend is at .4. P/E is at 16.09. Cap is at 3.73b. Short interest is at 7.75. Analysts are neutral. Book is at 12.65. Book is growing at 14 for past 5. EPS is estimated at +10 this coming year. +10 over next 3-5. Return on equity is at 19.86. Debt is at 42. Dividend interest could come to 3.5 after tax and 10. Too small and unreliable. Great return on equity, consistently above 20. Pretty good book growth, with a 18% clip. Ok. They are pretty good. We could see book at 46.9 in 10 with 14% growth. We could see EPS at 8.9 if we use 19 r on e. and with a 15p/e we could see a value of 133.5 plus 3.5. With a value of 137, return would be a nice 13.26. I would buy gladly at 33.5. Doable.
PBCT-PEOPLES UNITED FINANCIAL INC-Sells at 14.44. Analysts love em. P/E is at 17.01. Dividend is at .668, 5.49 with tax and 10. Short interest is at 9.65. Cap is at 4.48b. Book is 15.64. EPS growth is at 10.47. In 3-5, 6.66. Book is sorta stagnant over last 5. Return on equity is at 5.42. Debt is at 71.49. Earnings history is pretty good. Median return on equity is 4.8. Book was growing very consistently, but they’ve let that stagnate over the past 10 years. Let’s say book goes to 26.57 over the next 10. With a low r on e we could see a 1.44 EPS, we could see a price of 21.6 plus that 5.49, for a value of 27.09. I’d buy at 7.
RMD-RESMED INC-7.51 b cap. 8.93 short interest. Price is 53.76. P/E is 21.81. Dividend is at 1.2. They are not far from their 52 week low. Analysts love em. They have great earnings. With tax and ten, that dividend is 10.27. Book is 10.47. EPS is up 11% this year, and up 9.36 over the next 3-5. Book growing at 4.28. Return on equity is at 22.68. Debt to equity is at 27.73. Historical return on equity is at 15.16 for median. We could see book of 15.92, and thus EPS of 2.388, and thus a share price of 47.76 with a 20 p/e plus that 10.27 in dividends. This stock is overbought. No price point.
VASC-VASCULAR SOLUTIONS INC-Trades at 29.72. Book is 7.19. P/E is at 40.46. EPS growth is 12.5. 20 over next 3-5. Book growing at 22.91. No debt. Return on equity is 11.05. Analysts love it. Say book is at 44.52, EPS is 4.897 and with a multiple of 18, we see a price of 88. We see an entry price of 15….everyone just expects this company to make money…but their return on equity sucks.
