Summary: Part III of Barron's annual Analyst Roundtable highlights the picks of the following five analysts:
Meryl Witmer (Eagle Capital): Cash flow is key and opportunity is everywhere."(1) Navistar International Corp. (NYSE: NAV - News) -- investors are focused on its Class 8 truck business, adversely affected by new environmental regulations, so it's undervalued, but its other businesses are solid. (2) Kaiser Aluminum Corp. (NasdaqGM: KALU) -- it emergered from bankruptcy in 2006 with no debt, a clean balance sheet, and stellar operations. (3) Texas Industries Inc. (NYSE: TXI - News) -- Texas is the new Florida for housing with reasonable prices and continued growth; this concrete maker has expansion opportunities.Marc Faber, author of one of Wall Street's most closely read newsletters, the Gloom, Boom & Doom Report:"Global macro trends lead the way." (1) Cresud Inc. ADR (NasdaqGS: CRESY) -- farmland prices are up 40% over the past 3-4 years, but are still cheap; it's a play on agricultural commidities. (2) ProShares Short MidCap400 (AMEX: MYY - News) -- when the mid-cap index comes down, this goes up. (3) iShares Dow Jones US Broker-Dealers Index Fund ETF (NYSE: IAI - News) -- short it; Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (NYSE: GS - News) will one day be a very good short.Oscar Shafer, New York money manager: Keep an "eye on the products companies make -- how they work and fatten the bottom line." (1) Flamel Technologies S.A. (NasdaqGM: FLML) -- it has an important new partnership with GlaxoSmithKline (NYSE: GSK - News), and its innovative drug delivery methods give it tremendous potential; the stock could double or triple. (2) Shire Pharmaceuticals Group plc (NasdaqGS: SHPGY) -- the company settled issues with other producers, and 2007 should be an active year with multiple new drug launches. (3) Avis Budget Group Inc. (NYSE: CAR - News) -- a fluky 2006 saw margins drop to 2.9%; management has laid out a plan to return to 8%, and it could be an attractive acquisition candidate. (4) Sally Beauty Inc. (NYSE: SBH - News) -- it plans major expansions into Canada, Mexico and Brazil, will deleverage $1.8 billion of debt rapidly, and has operational improvements that will increase cash-flow. (5) Tesco Corp. (NasdaqGM: TESOF) -- its 'casing drilling' technology will replace conventional oil drilling because of its increased speed and lower costs; the stock ($17) could be $28-30 by year end.Fred Hickey, author of the High-Tech Strategist newsletter: (1) Research In Motion Ltd. (NasdaqGS: RIMM) -- short it. Unless RIM becomes the next Motorola, there's a lot of downside. (2) Apple Computer Inc. (NasdaqGS: AAPL) -- short it. AAPL is 1/5 the size of Hewlett-Packard Co. (NYSE: HPQ - News), yet their market caps are very close ($75b vs $100b). IPod growth rate is falling apart, and computer sales are down. The ongoing options investigation means CEO Jobs is still at risk. (3) Lam Research Corp. (NasdaqGS: LRCX) -- short it. After the Microsoft Corp. (NasdaqGS: MSFT) Vista launch, anticipate a huge drop in memory prices; LRCX could collapse in a hurry. (4) Heelys Inc. (NasdaqGM: HLYS) -- its rollerblade shoes are a fad that's already fading. (5) streetTRACKS Gold Trust ETF (NYSE: GLD - News) and iShares Silver Trust (AMEX: SLV - News) -- if you want to bet the Fed will cut rates, the dollar drops, and gold rises, this is the way.Mario Gabelli: He looks for "deals and steals, consumer trends and the math behind undervalued outfits." (1) Cablevision Systems Corp. (NYSE: CVC - News) -- Time Warner Inc. (NYSE: TWX - News) is a potential buyout initiator, or the Dolan family may take it private; the competition makes it a win-win. (2) Groupe Danone (NYSE: DA - News) and General Mills Inc. (NYSE: GIS - News) -- yogurt and health cereals are a play on health and wellness, a booming industry. (3) Brown-Forman -- Jack Daniels is one of the top-seeling premium branded products in the world. (4) International Flavors & Fragrances Inc. (NYSE: IFF - News) -- growing demand for flavors and fragrances in emerging markets, and a shorter product lifespan, will boost sales. (5) Energizer Holdings Inc. (NYSE: ENR - News), AutoNation Inc. (NYSE: AN - News), AutoZone Inc. (NYSE: AZO - News), Waste Management Inc. (NYSE: WMI - News) -- companies with great share buyback programs. (6) GATX Corp. (GATX) -- U.S. municipalities are selling infrastructure to fund healthcare and pension costs; GATX leases railcars.
