COMMENT

Their suite of products is better than it was, though competition is fierce. He prefers Cisco for its CEO.

COMMENT

It got its groove back after struggling for years with weakness in China and recently with supply-chain disruption caused by Covid. They're turning things around--stabilizing their service-provider business and found new growth opportunities thanks to the 5G build-up and the demand for hardware support in cloud computing. Plus, they've made a series of software-as-a-service acquisitions which are lucrative. They reported late last month and reported mild top- and bottom-line beats but solid guidance for the current quarter. They have an analysts call Friday. Trades at 15x earnings and pays a 3.15% dividend, which should get it rolling, but it hasn't.

TOP PICK

Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly JNPR is a steady producer of networking, router and cloud-computing equipment. In recent earnings its revenues were up 5% and earnings of $0.43 per share beat the market by $0.12. It trades at a forward 12 PE, a current 17 PE compared to a sector average of 21. It pays a solid dividend, backed by a 78% payout ratio. We would trade this with a $17 stop-loss, looking to achieve analyst targets near $25 -- 25% upside. Yield 4.07% (Analysts’ price target is $24.88)

COMMENT

He owned Western Digital a few years ago. He still follows it, but finds there are other players, like Juniper or Cisco, who are better investments today.

WEAK BUY

They had a good beat on earnings and they seem to be turning the corner. The sector as a whole in the router world is critical to future growth of the internet. He would prefer to diversify his risk through an internet ETF.

TOP PICK

Internet infrastructure. They are the leader in the fast-growing IP networking sector and are gaining market share. They are going to realize increase sales into 2016 from services cloud and security. Last quarter they reported an earnings surprise 31% above consensus estimates. Trading at 13X forward earnings. You are getting a 12% growth rate. Dividend yield of 1.55%.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Chart shows a long basing pattern of $14.50-$24. If you are a trader, try to pick it up at the lower part of the band and then sell at the upper end. Once you get out of the band, there are several places where you will have support resistance.

BUY

Routing company without analysis of packets or prioritization of packets. Moving into the enterprise.

BUY

Prefers Cisco (CSCO-Q) which has a wide diversity of products. Also much cheaper on a valuation basis then Juniper. A well-run company with good technology. If you buy, you will find it is the more volatile stock. If you buy at these levels, you will probably do well.

DON'T BUY

Prefers Cisco (CSCO-Q). In this market, you want to stay with the industry leaders. A decent company, but doesn't make his core holding list. Has been through some financial uncertainty.

WEAK BUY

2nd fiddle to Cisco (CSCO-Q). Probably stronger with the wireless customers. A business you can own, but he prefers Cisco which has a better franchise, better history on ROE, less volatility and is also fairly valued.

DON'T BUY

Bought a company called Netscreen which makes high throughput fire walls and VPN appliances. Has never been able to understand their valuation. Too expensive. Would buy at 40% less.
