SELL
Smart phone is being commoditzed. If you are into Apples or Rim, you have to trade.
DON'T BUY
Has been challenged over the past several years. Criticized for largely missing the boat on the smart phone trend without enough models in that space. Have reversed this and have improved their offerings but are still not penetrating into the US, which is a critical area.
PARTIAL BUY
Likes their reach into emerging markets and their ability to sell low-cost handsets at low margins but with great volume. Reasonable entry point but because of market volatility would suggest you take 1/3 to ½ of your position now and pick up the balance over the next 3 to 4 months.
DON'T BUY
Everyone's moving to smart phones and this company hasn’t moved quickly enough. Apple (AAPL-Q) and Rim (RIM-T) have taken over this market because they are coming out with more economical products for carriers to sell. They are a survivor and will do well but doesn't think he would buy.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick April 23/08. Down 47.03%.) Phones/cable companies were working through their inventories so demand fell. Market share fell because they were not selling the high-end phones.
BUY
Until economic troubles began, this was a star performer. Hasn't been a huge participant in smart phones but this is growing. Bread and butter have been low-end phones going into developing countries. Thinks they will still be the dominant company in cell phones.
BUY
Still like. Also looked at Research in Motion (RIM-T) and Apple (AAPL-Q) and all 3 have a lot of cash on the books. RIM and Nokia are trading around 11 or 12X earnings and have roughly $2-$3 per share in cash. Thinks of this one as a utility. Globally people are not getting landlines anymore but will own cell phones. This one is very cheap. Buy for the long-term.
COMMENT
(Market Call Minute.) In the smart phone market they are losing incredible share to Apple (AAPL-Q) and RIM (RIM-T). At the best it is a Hold. (See Top Picks.)
HOLD
Profits were down 68% because consumers are moving down from high-end phones to cheaper ones. Still have 38% market share. Expects Motorola will exit completely leaving this company more room to grow. €8 billion in cash and no debt. Best distribution and production systems. Europe, Asia, Africa and India are all Nokia. If it dropped to $10 a share with a yield of 5%, it would be a Buy.
DON'T BUY
Well run company with a global brand name. 2009 will be a bad year for cell phone sales. Also, they are losing share. Have lots of cash and pay a dividend.
BUY
Very well run company and they have some great products in the smart phone side. Cell phone market is shrinking slightly, which will hurt them. Balance sheet is slightly stretched but they throw off a lot of free cash.
TOP PICK
38% market share. Dominates the industry globally. Has partnered with Siemens on the infrastructure side and can compete on price. Have €6.5 billion and no debt. Dividend will probably go up again this year.
TOP PICK
6 to 7 billion euros in cash. No debt. Trades at about 8 X earnings. 5.9% dividend. The leader in Europe, India, Africa and China. Can handle price competition as they have the #1 production and distribution arms. Will buy more if it gets down to the $10-$12 level.
TOP PICK
20% of their stock price is cash so they don't have to worry about financing. Has 40% of the Chinese market. Well entrenched with a great manufacturing and distribution arm. Also Nokia Siemens has the structure for both 3G and 4G. Above 4% dividend yield. Trading at 6X earnings.
DON'T BUY
Not a fan of this. A commodity product. Ups and downs are very violent. Too much competition. Would rather own Intel (INTC-Q), which is the dominant franchise.
