COMMENT
This is an interesting name in that it is a bit of a US darling. There is not a lot of Canadian fund managers that own BB-T. The Americans think of it as a play on technology in the automobile. QNX is going to be THE solution in terms of security. If that does not work out, they will probably be acquired.
COMMENT
They've done a great job transitioning into car software. It's still in turnaround and the stock is a little expensive. BB is getting there and doing well, but there's still a lot of work ahead. Too early to tell.
HOLD
He has faith in John Chen because Mr. Chen has done turnarounds before. The reason BB-T came down so far is due to the market. When the market turns, this stock can turn around more quickly and move up by leaps and bounds. It has debt but have deep pockets.
DON'T BUY
The CEO has made good moves, but he hasn't said how he'll grow their topline. Also a general pullback in U.S. tech means better stocks to buy elsewhere, stocks that boast better growth.
DON'T BUY
He has been waiting for improvements and the earnings have still not improved. Technically it has failed support and now he looks for $9 soon.
WAIT
He can not endorse this company right now. It looks like a good company but does not see a lot of financial disclosure regarding their recent acquisition. It does seem to make strategic sense. He has to wait to see what happens.
DON'T BUY
John Chen is making a big move to take BB into the cybersecurity space. During this pulback, he'd rather look at other tech names--or not buy any tech at all.
BUY
It’s wait-and-see. It’s a different company than it was. What they do now is great, and the stock is acting well. Stock is cheap now, he’d buy it.
WATCH
He bought it a couple of years ago and took profit. They have since found it would be dead money investing in this right now. Their product development is stagnant. However at this price level, he would look at it again.
DON'T BUY

It's got to catch up to its valuation. They've migrated from a hardware to software business fantastically. But the new business takes longer to grow. Problem was that this stock got ahead of the fundementals. Down the road, this could get sorted out, but not now.

WAIT

This has been range bound. He has an underweight position on this stock. This is very volatile. If it moves out of this range, it could have a lot of upside. He is confident that it will break out.

RISKY

Moving from device to software producer. Has a problem when companies are in transition. Stock has pulled back, to a pretty compelling level. Not a bad place to add. (Analysts’ price target is $15.17.)

COMMENT

CEO Chen has done a great job in turning this company around or at least halting its decline. He's transitioned BB from handsets into software, especially among the carmakers (self-driving cars). Is this big enough though? Trading at very high multiples, 3x book. It's unlikely to offer big earnings for several years. BB is more attractive to growth than value investors.

COMMENT

A real success story. Most thought it was dead in the water, now poised to benefit from Chen’s management. Someone might take a run at it for its patents. Still speculative. Tough business. Sees it as surviving and doing better. May have a tougher time in a recession.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Sep 26/17, Up 13%) He still likes it. They have a lot of debt but a lot of cash in the bank. This is a good long term play. He does not like John Chen's pay package. But he is happy to hold it.
