GNW continues to impress on a business level and reward investors who believe in the company's resurgence. After shedding 75% of their value in two years (2010-2012), shares of GNW hovered under the $6 level for most of 2012 before the precipitous rise they've enjoyed back to the $10 level. The gain in generation of value comes as no surprise - the company is buoyed by strong new leadership (CEO McInerney), a strengthening balance sheet and deleveraging from underperforming assets, and a robustly rebounding housing sector. The company is beginning to click on all cylinders, as noted in their most recent earnings report. Margins are once again increasing and revenues and bottom-line profits were both stronger than anticipated. Finally, the stock is trading at a near 65% discount to its tangible asset book value, or liquidation value. With any semblance of a continued recovery in the housing market, GNW has perhaps chance for more upward mobility than any other stock on this list.
Stratasys, Inc. (SSYS)
WOW - $18 !!! Nice.
You think that there's a lot of margin holdings with a stock under $4?
Downgraded by Robert W. Baird to neutral yesterday.
Touched $38. Really unbelievable!!
I cannot believe that CMA is at this price!
We need them to announce that IPO ! You'll see $12.50 when they do it!!!
Sentiment: Buy
I think that we'll break $16.
there should be opportunities within a week to buy at under $10.
It is like stealing from a baby
The earnings were better than I thought that they'd be. I'm not buying here.
It should be evident that the GNW recovery is intact. I'm thinking $20 within 18 months. NICE.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
i'll take the under.
the recovery has started.
Last year, they released earning on April 25. It is obviously past this date. I'm expecting another #$%$ poor" quarter, and maybe another dividend cut (or their should be one).
Sentiment: Sell
If you don't believe call them ask.
Yep, that's why I sold the shares years ago when they were planning to purchase RI. They've gone nowhere since.
any time soon.
Beneficial Mutual Bancorp in Philadelphia is the subject of a governmental
investigation into its residential real estate lending.
The Department of Justice's probe will postpone the mutual thrift's plans to
convert to a stock-owned organization. The investigation is being conducted
under "the Equal Credit Opportunity Act and the Fair Housing Act," Beneficial
said.
The company said the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. made a referral to the
Justice Department about its origination of home equity and residential mortgage
loans. A spokesman for the FDIC declined to confirm whether it made a referral.
I thought it was that way when they got killed 2-3 years ago. Let's hope for a different result.
Just a wee bit more to $10. Come on
