Advisors' Opinion:
  • [By Jon C. Ogg]

    1. The U.S. economy grows 3% as housing starts surpass one million and private employment hits an all-time high – All time high on private employment? 1 million housing starts?

    Homebuilder ETF: SPDR S&P Homebuilders ETF (NYSEArca: XHB) as it is tied to homebuilders and building products rather than including other sectors that only overlap in building. At $32.57, its 52-week range is 426.94 to $33.38. Housing Starts were always well over 1 million on an annualized basis each month before the recession, but they only reached that in two months of 2013 (St. Louis Fed data).

    2. 10-Year Treasury yields move toward 3.5% as the Federal Reserve completes tapering and holds short-term rate near zero – This may sound bad, but it is actually good and fits in line with rates not rising too much. Keep in mind that the 10-year Treasury is at 2.94% now and ended at 3.03% on the last day of 2013. Elsewhere on the yield curve, Doll sees many parts of the fixed income market to end 2014 with negative total rates of return.

  • [By Ben Levisohn]

    The SPDR S&P Homebuil! ders ETF (XHB) has dropped 10.5% during the past three months, or about when all the talk about an end to the Fed’s bond buying really picked up, compared to a 2.7% return for the S&P 500.

Plan retirement timing to maximize returns: Navlakhi

Although, equities and fixed income products can be good investment tools, Navlakhi feels that gold is an excellent investment choice in uncertain times. Hence, investors can allocate a certain portion of their investment in the golden metal, ideally 5-7% of one's total net worth.

Below is the edited transcript of his interview with CNBC-TV18. Also watch the accompanying video.

Q: Investors wants to invest Rs 2 lakh lump sum every year in mutual fund or ULIP. His goal is Rs 10 crore. How should he allocate the money?

A: First of all, I think when he is planning for retirement, an important thing to note is the time of his retirement. He mentioned that he wants to accumulate these funds in the next 10 years. If he is going to invest Rs 2 lakh per annum and he already has about Rs 2 lakh of investments currently, we should assume a return on the portfolio of about 10-12% typically with possibly about 60% currently in equities and the balance in fixed income type of products.

With that amount, he would probably be short of reaching his goal. What he requires to do is if he can add something like Rs 4-5 lakh per annum, then in 10 years he will meet the goal. The other option obviously for him is to look at the retirement goal maybe 12-13 years later instead of 10 years.

In that case, he will be able to achieve his goal. So that's the first important thing for retirement planning, the time period. Give a reasonable time period and don't look at retiring very, very early. Then you have more time for the money to earn its returns.

Q: You also have some fund names that you are suggesting?

A: If he is looking at equity funds, I will just name one fund each from the large cap, mid-cap and multi-cap category. From the large cap it could be Franklin India Bluechip, in the midcap category HDFC Midcap Opportunities and a multi-cap fund like ICICI Dynamic Plan . If he needs fixed income, then ICICI Regular Savings or a Templeton India Short-term Plan is what I would suggest.

Q: Investor can invest Rs 50,000 lump sum. He wants to invest in gold. How should he allocate the money?

A: Gold is a very good investment in uncertain times. If we expect that there will be uncertainty in the markets, let's say in Europe there are problems, in India there are problems and we therefore, will see gold prices continuing to go up because people look at gold as a safe haven.

My real point is that we have had a very strong rally in the last three to four years in gold because of the uncertainties. It's not that the uncertainties are really over. But, I think a very important factor to keep in mind is that the rupee is probably in a weak position today. It could strengthen.

The impact or the benefit that gold would give for international investors may not be the same that you would get with the Indian rupee. My advice would be that he should definitely have some portion of his total assets in gold.

But, if he has Rs 50,000 to invest, I wouldn't recommend him to put all the money there. Maybe, he can start with Rs 15,000 or so. Out of this money, because he has zero gold today, he can invest in gold and the rest can be invested at the age of 62. He probably needs to have fixed income investments, if he doesn't already have them.

Q: It's not very common for investors to go on looking at certain times and uncertain times. Personal finance guys just put their money away. The better part of the day is spent earning your living. So as a rule, how much money should one put at all in gold?

A: Typically we look at gold investment at between 5-7% of one's total net worth. When things are uncertain, then you probably can enhance that investment. That is, you have money but you feel that it's uncertain to put money in equities today and therefore, maybe you can add another 5% to that gold kitty.

When you see a very strong rally, it is good to take out some profits, not just stick to it saying gold is always something that goes up because people have short-term memory, they have the last four years to go back to. But if they actually went back to the last 30 years, they will see that gold has really not given great returns, in fact slightly below inflation.

Top 5 International Stocks To Own Right Now

Last week, shares of Ford Motor (NYSE: F  ) crossed the $15 line for the first time since early 2011. The last time Ford stock reached that level, the company was benefiting from a spate of recalls at Toyota Motor (NYSE: TM  ) and the devastating Japanese tsunami of March 2011, which disrupted supplies for Toyota, Honda Motor (NYSE: HMC  ) , and other Japanese automakers.

Today, Ford stock's strength can be attributed to the company's success, rather than competitors' difficulties. The U.S. housing market recovery has boosted demand for Ford's F-Series pickups. Meanwhile, high fuel prices have encouraged U.S. consumers to replace their aging cars with more fuel-efficient models. Lastly, international trends are improving: Ford is gaining market share in China -- the world's largest auto market -- and is implementing a decisive plan to return to profitability in Europe.

In December 2013, MFC announced its subsidiary, Manulife (International) Limited, had completed the transaction to sell its life insurance business in Taiwan to CTBC Life Insurance Co., Ltd. Advisors' Opinion:
  • [By Jonas Elmerraji]

    Manulife Financial (MFC) is another stock that's forming an ascending triangle pattern right now. In the case of this $33 billion Canadian financial services firm, resistance comes into play at $18, a price level that's acted as a ceiling for shares since all the way back in July. The buy signal comes on a move through that $18 barrier.

    Whenever you're looking at any technical price pattern, it's critical to think in terms of those buyers and sellers. Triangles, and other pattern names are a good quick way to explain what's going on in a stock, but they're not the reason it's tradable. Instead, it all comes down to supply and demand for shares.

    That $18 resistance level is a price where there has been an excess of supply of shares; in other words, it's a place where sellers have been more eager to step in and take gains than buyers have been to buy. That's what makes a breakout above it so significant -- the move means that buyers are finally strong enough to absorb all of the excess supply above that price level.

    After it happens, I'd recommend keeping a protective stop at $16.50.

    Air Canada, the nation�� largest airline, surged 7.2 percent after reducing costs. Manulife Financial Corp. (MFC), Canada�� largest insurer, increased 2.6 percent for a fourth day of gains. Trilogy Energy Corp. plunged 9.8 percent after reporting a loss as sales declined. Detour Gold Corp. plunged 18 percent after saying it will not meet its 2013 production targets. Centerra Gold Inc. and HudBay Minerals Inc. sank at least 3.7 percent as gold dropped to a three-week low in New York.

  • [By Patricio Kehoe] est Canadian life insurer by market capitalization, offering asset management, wealth management and financial services to customers in Asia, Canada and the U.S. However, the company�� annuity and segregated fund business has suffered over the past two years, due to the low interest rate environment, leading to a decline in earnings and operating results. Nonetheless, the firm has been undergoing some changes throughout 2013 and management expects profitability to increase for fiscal 2014, despite its underperformance during fourth quarter fiscal 2013. Thus, many investment gurus like George Soros (Trades, Portfolio) and Jim Simons' (Trades, Portfolio) hedge fund remain bullish about Manulife�� future outlook, evidenced by their shares purchased in the past quarter.

    Of Hedging and Repricing

    Manulife�� capital sensitivity and volatile earnings have made it difficult for the company to maintain steady growth prospects in the past, but quarter four's earnings report showed improvements in some aspects, especially regarding EPS growth, which jumped 73% year over year, closing at $1.62 per share. This is largely due to the company�� recent strategy of hedging two-thirds of its variable annuity business, and looking forward all newly written businesses in this segment will be hedged. Furthermore, the firm has been gradually trading most of its short-term bonds for long-term bonds, which will improve the bond duration of its investment portfolio, thereby reducing earning sensitivity. While insurance sales were weak for 2013, declining 13% from 2012 and 32% year over year for the quarter, Manulife�� shift towards expanding its wealth management business (wealth sales increased 37% over the past fiscal year) and mutual fund sales should help offset declines in the future.

    In fact, today the company announced that it will be launching a new universal life product for the Canadian market called Manulife UL by May 26 of this year. The new

2 Basic Materials Stocks Spiking on Unusual Volume

DELAFIELD, Wis. (Stockpickr) -- Professional traders running mutual funds and hedge funds don't just look at a stock's price moves; they also track big changes in volume activity. Often when above-average volume moves into an equity, it precedes a large spike in volatility.

Major moves in volume can signal unusual activity, such as insider buying or selling -- or buying or selling by "superinvestors."

Unusual volume can also be a major signal that hedge funds and momentum traders are piling into a stock ahead of a catalyst. These types of traders like to get in well before a large spike, so it's always a smart move to monitor unusual volume. That said, remember to combine trend and price action with unusual volume. Put them all together to help you decipher the next big trend for any stock.

Top Construction Material Stocks To Invest In Right Now

With that in mind, let's take a look at several stocks rising on unusual volume today.

CF Industries

CF Industries (CF) is a manufacturer and distributor of nitrogen and phosphate fertilizer products in North America. This stock closed up 11.7% at $202.32 in Monday's trading session.

Monday's Volume: 5.65 million

Three-Month Average Volume: 899,814

Volume % Change: 484%

Shares of CF soared higher on Monday after billionaire Dan Loeb's Third Point Management revealed a position in the firm in its quarterly investment letter. Loeb told investors the company trades at an unwarranted discount to its peers and that it expects management to deliver a much larger dividend to shareholders.

From a technical perspective, CF soared higher here back above both its 50-day at $184.76 and its 200-day at $198.52 with monster upside volume. This move pushed shares of CF into breakout territory, since the stock took out some key overhead resistance levels at $187.60 to $191.52 and then above $196.25 to $196.97. Shares of CF are now quickly moving within range of triggering another major breakout trade. That trade will hit if CF manages to take out some past overhead resistance at $208.17 with high volume.

Traders should now look for long-biased trades in CF as long as it's trending above its 200-day at $198.52 or above $197 and then once it sustains a move or close above Monday's high of $202.77 to $208.17 with volume that hits near or above 899,814 shares. If that breakout triggers soon, then CF will set up to re-test or possibly take out its next major overhead resistance levels at $220 to $225.

Keep in mind that CF is set to report earnings on Aug. 6 after the market close. Look to play that breakout before and then after earnings, once you know that the stock is reacting positively to the numbers.

W.R. Grace

W.R. Grace (GRA) is engaged in the production and sale of specialty chemicals and specialty materials. This stock closed up 1.7% at $76.70 in Monday's trading session.

Monday's Volume: 2.54 million

Three-Month Average Volume: 613,848

Volume % Change: 323%

From a technical perspective, GRA bounced notably higher here right above its 200-day moving average of $73.85 with above-average volume. This stock recently plunged lower from $87.56 to its intraday low of $74.46 with heavy downside volume flows. That drop pushed shares of GRA into oversold territory, since the stock has a current relative strength index reading of 29.61. Oversold can always get more oversold, but it's also an area where a stock can experience a powerful bounce higher from.

Traders should now look for long-biased trades in GRA as long as it's trending above its 200-day at $73.85 and then once it sustains a move or close above Monday's high of $78.15 with volume that's near or above 613,848 shares. If we get that move soon, then GRA will set up to re-test or possibly take out its next major overhead resistance levels at $82 to its 50-day at $83.20. Any high-volume move above its 50-day will then give GRA a chance to tag $85 to $86.

How Can 3M Earnings Grow Faster?

3M (NYSE: MMM  ) is scheduled to release its quarterly earnings report tomorrow, and shareholders have sent the stock on an impressive run so far this year, with sizable gains that have outpaced the overall performance of the Dow Jones Industrials (DJINDICES: ^DJI  ) . Yet for the company to justify its higher valuation, 3M earnings need to keep pace with share-price gains, and that doesn't look very likely to happen in the near future.

3M still has plenty of good prospects for future growth, though. The question is whether 3M can reawaken its longtime innovative spirit and come out with another set of revolutionary products that will reinvigorate its business. Let's take an early look at what's been happening with 3M over the past quarter and what we're likely to see in its quarterly report.

Can 3M earnings growth accelerate?
Analysts haven't been too upbeat in recent months about the prospects for 3M earnings, as they've cut their June-quarter estimates by $0.07 per share and shaved a full dime per share from their full-year 2013 and 2014 estimates. That hasn't held the stock back, though, with shares posting gains of more than 10% since mid-April.

What makes 3M's share-price gains so impressive is that they've come despite relatively weak growth. In its first-quarter report, 3M saw overall revenue growth slow to just 2.1%, with net income rising only slightly. Admittedly, a large part of those headwinds came from the strong dollar's currency impact on foreign revenue, but still, 3M hasn't come out with innovative blockbuster products that tend to be the long-term drivers of sales success.

One issue that 3M faces is that it's tended to be conservative with respect to emerging businesses. That stands in stark contrast to fellow Dow conglomerate General Electric (NYSE: GE  ) , which has made gutsy bets on the energy side of its business and has seen them largely pay off. Just as GE got into wind turbines and has expanded to oil and gas services, 3M has the potential to become a much larger player in the solar industry if it chose to go beyond its supporting role for other companies and take the lead in module production or technological innovation. In addition, 3M's LED light bulb promises a 25-year life span and could seriously challenge GE in the lighting space if it put its mind to it.

Yet 3M has started to get more aggressive about capturing opportunities. With substantial cash commitments to strategic growth acquisitions and to research and development, 3M already leads GE and several of its other conglomerate peers, and it has plans to boost its R&D spending even further. Combined with its having identified Latin America, Asia, and Africa as prime candidates for expansion, especially in its health-care and consumer-business divisions, 3M is putting a long-term growth strategy in place that investors seem to have faith in.

In the 3M earnings report, watch for the company to give more specifics on its plan to jump-start its growth. With a solid dividend, investors will be willing to wait for better results, but eventually, 3M needs to come through with higher earnings and revenue if it wants to sustain its recent stock-price gains.

3 Characters Disney Should Consider for Its First R-Rated Comic Book Film

More than 61,000 people attended Denver Comic Con earlier this month, and odds are that more than 130,000 will attend San Diego Comic Con next month. Hardcore fans like these are why Iron Man 3 is a billion-dollar box-office success and The Walking Dead ended as the top-rated TV show of the fall season. They're looking for edgier comics-sourced fare on the big screen.

Would family-friendly Walt Disney (NYSE: DIS  ) ever make an R-rated comic-book film? The opportunity is too big to pass up, says Fool contributor Tim Beyers in the following video.

Consider Time Warner's (NYSE: TWX  ) success with Christopher Nolan's Batman series. The Dark Knight may very well be rated PG-13, but only the clinically unconscious would call it a kids' film. Heath Ledger's Joker is as dark a character as you'll find in a comic-book film, and that one earned a billion at the box office when doing so was a rarity. Overall, Nolan's Batman series earned Warner more than $2.4 billion in global box-office receipts.

Marvel, meanwhile, has plenty of characters that could star in a darker comic-book film. The Punisher is an obvious choice, Tim says, though Lions Gate's (NYSE: LGF  ) two tries with films based on the vigilante did poorly enough that the studio returned the movie rights to Disney.

Marvel should put the character to use soon. Or choose another. Hundreds of characters in the Marvel universe are violent enough to star in an R-rated film; Disney is leaving money on the table by sticking with lighter theater fare.

Interestingly, The House of Mouse isn't so prudish in other areas. Next week, Activision Blizzard releases to stores a particularly violent video game featuring the mutant assassin Deadpool. An R-rated comic book film would be no different, as well as an appreciated catalyst for investors expecting Disney to use all of Marvel's assets to boost profits.

Which characters would you choose if Disney were to greenlight an R-rated comic book film? Tim Beyers singles out two more besides The Punisher in the following video. Please watch, and then let us know which hard-boiled comic-book storyline you think would play best at the box office.

Learn how to grab global gains
Nothing exports like superheroes, and for Disney and Time Warner, going global with big comic-book flicks has paid handsomely.

Top 5 Transportation Stocks To Buy Right Now

A massive typhoon has battered the Philippines. That will set back what has been a promising economy for years and make the nation's troubling unemployment and poverty rates much worse than they have been. The world's 40th nation as ranked by gross domestic product (GDP) may barely be able to keep its status as a developing nation.

The Philippine GDP expansion has been impressive. Based on the most recent International Monetary Fund (IMF) assessment, GDP growth was 6.6% last year, a rate the agency ranks as better than most of the region. The IMF had forecast Philippine GDP expansion at 6% in 2013 and 5.5% in 2014. It is highly likely now that GDP will contract late this year and into next, and that contraction could be horrible.

The Philippines has struggled for years to improve a high unemployment rate, and more particularly an under-employment rate of 20%. In a country with 107 million residents, hundreds of thousands could be thrown out of work. At least short term, those numbers will soar, perhaps until workers are hired to repair the devastation. The national economy relies on several industries highly dependent on infrastructure that supports factory activity and transportation. These include petroleum and chemical refineries, as well as the assembly of wood products, clothing and electronics. Some 32% of workers are in agriculture, according to the CIA World Factbook, which will be devastated for years in areas most badly flooded.

Hot Specialty Retail Stocks For 2016: Costamare Inc (CMRE)

Costamare Inc. (Costamare), incorporated on April 21, 2008, is an international owner of containerships, chartering the Company�� vessels to liner companies. As of February 22, 2013, it had a fleet of 57 containerships aggregating approximately 332,000 twenty feet equivalent unit (TEU). During the year ended December 31, 2012, its fleet consisted of 47 vessels in the water, aggregating approximately 242,000 TEU. The Company�� containerships operate primarily under multi-year time charters.

As of February 22, 2013, the average (weighted by TEU capacity) remaining time-charter duration for its fleet of 57 containerships was 5.1 years. During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company�� vessels were managed by at least one of Costamare Shipping, CIEL and Shanghai Costamare. The Company�� customers include international liner companies, including A.P. Moller-Maersk, COSCO, Evergreen Marine, Hapag Lloyd, HMM, MSC and ZIM.

Advisors' Opinion:
  • [By Seth Jayson]

    Costamare (NYSE: CMRE  ) reported earnings on July 24. Here are the numbers you need to know.

    The 10-second takeaway
    For the quarter ended June 30 (Q2), Costamare missed estimates on revenues and beat expectations on earnings per share.

  • [By Rich Duprey]

    Containership owner and provider�Costamare (NYSE: CMRE  ) announced yesterday its second-quarter dividend of $0.27 per share, the same rate it's paid since late 2011.

  • [By Jonas Elmerraji]

    Thinks aren't looking quite so auspicious for shares of small-cap Greek shipping stock Costamare (CMRE). Greek equities enjoyed some buoyancy this year, the result of getting oversold due to headline risk during the economic crisis in the Eurozone. But this stock's down days don't look behind it yet.

    That's because Costamare is currently forming the bearish opposite of the bullish pattern in NTT: a descending triangle. CMRE's setup is formed by downtrending resistance above shares and horizontal support down at $16.75 that shares are getting pushed down into. A move through $16.75 is the signal to sell this stock.

    Whenever you're looking at any technical price pattern, it's critical to think in terms of buyers and sellers. Triangles, rectangles, and other price pattern names are a good quick way to explain what's going on in this stock, but they're not the reason it's tradable. Instead, it all comes down to supply and demand for shares.

    That support line at $16.75 is a price where there's an excess of demand of shares; in other words, it's a place where buyers have been more eager to jump in and buy at lower levels than sellers have been to unload them. That's what makes the move below it so significant -- a breakdown indicates that sellers are finally strong enough to absorb all of the excess demand below that price level. Wait for that signal to happen before you bet against CMRE.

Advisors' Opinion:
  • [By Aimee Duffy]

    Master limited partnerships are not like other stocks, and the metrics we use to compare an MLP to its peers differ from the metrics we use to compare regular companies. For example, instead of the traditional P/E ratio, we emphasize MLP-specific metrics like distribution coverage ratio, and today's focus: price to distributable cash flow (P/DCF). I'll use MPLX (NYSE: MPLX  ) , Tesoro Logistics (NYSE: TLLP  ) , and Holly Energy Partners (NYSE: HEP  ) as our three examples.

Advisors' Opinion:
  • [By Robert Rapier] In last week’s MLP Investing Insider (MLPII) I took a look at the MLP IPOs from the first half of 2013. Today I review the half dozen that have debuted in the second half of 2013.

    Phillips 66 Partners (NYSE: PSXP) launched on July 23 as one of the most anticipated IPOs this year. PSXP owns some of the midstream logistics assets of its sponsor, Phillips 66 (NYSE: PSX). PSXP has yet to announce its first distribution, but according to the IPO prospectus the minimum yield will be $0.85 per unit on an annualized basis. At the current unit price, this equates to a minimum annual yield of 2.8 percent, which is mainly a function of the huge run-up in unit price between the IPO pricing and today’s unit price. If the distribution does come in near the minimum, the unit price will almost certainly correct downward following the announcement.

    Marlin Midstream Partners (Nasdaq: FISH) launched on July 26. The partnership provides natural gas gathering, transportation, treating and processing services, NGL transportation services and crude oil transloading services. Marlin’s assets include three natural gas processing facilities in Texas, two natural gas gathering systems, two NGL transportation pipelines, and two crude oil transloading facilities. Marlin expects most of the gross margin to be generated under fee-based, minimum volume commercial agreements.

    Marlin targets a coverage ratio of 1.10x to support distributions. Marlin’s partnership agreement provides for a minimum quarterly distribution of $0.35 per unit for each whole quarter, or $1.40 per unit on an annualized basis. The prorated distribution for the two months of the recently concluded quarter since tje IPO should be announced soon. The minimum annual yield based on the current unit price is projected at 7.7 percent. The unit price has declined 6 percent since the IPO.

Microsoft Stock Rides on Digital Fumes

Computers have infiltrated every facet of our lives, from our toothbrushes to the parking meter. The one company to get in early and become the standard bearer of software, Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT  ) made out like a bandit with its network effects: Your office uses Office? We'll use Office, too. With that momentum, the products sold themselves every upgraded version -- you didn't want to send files in the old, incompatible, unstylish format.

That momentum, though, is fading. Competition and industry dynamics are combining to unseat the default software choice, and Microsoft is struggling to deliver products to keep it relevant. The market has yet to realize just how quickly Microsoft can find itself without much of a future.

A breakdown
The following charts list out Microsoft's revenue and operating profits by division. Note that online services, which includes Bing and MSN, have run at a loss for the past three years.

Top 5 Railroad Stocks For 2016

Profits from Windows fell 6% from 2011 to 2012. Windows 8 is supposed to buoy those numbers; however, while its official sales numbers remain a mystery, reports of a 14% drop in PC sales don't suggest a hit piece of software. Sure, PC sales don't include tablets, what Windows 8 was truly created for, but even sales of Microsoft's Surface have reportedly been slow, with an estimated and unofficial 1.5 million sold versus an order of 3 million. About 130 million tablets overall were sold in 2012.

Online services, Microsoft's effort in online advertising, lost about $2.5 billion in 2010 and 2011, and then $8.5 billion in 2012 after writing off $6 billion in goodwill.

The entertainment division, made up of Xbox and Windows Phone, barely contributed to profits in 2012, with $364 million.

The real drivers in Microsoft's income are its business-oriented profits in servers and Office. Taken together, they contributed $23 billion in operating income, helping fund the losing business segments, as total operating income for Microsoft was $21.7 billion. While Microsoft seemingly has a large consumer presence based on its expansive advertising, it is dependent mostly on business sales and should be valued as such. But even business sales could change rapidly for the worse.

More mobile, less Office
Microsoft is following the industry toward online offerings, including its juggernaut Office. Such a move makes sense, but it takes Office and puts it against free offerings such as Google (NASDAQ: GOOG  ) Drive. It also highlights the trend away from single workstations and toward mobile devices that depend more on accessing items through a browser instead of through an application running on an traditional operating system. Google's (NASDAQ: GOOG  ) Chrome OS exemplifies this as well, as an entire operating system built specifically geared toward Web-based applications. And Google, of course, dominates competitors such as Microsoft when it comes to online advertising, which contribute to 95% of Google's revenues.

It makes sense that Microsoft has thrown all that it can at the mobile market through Windows Phone and the Surface. It needs to be a part of that growing tech sector. Even the weight of Microsoft, however, doesn't guarantee successful products. The company can fund a failing product for a long time -- maybe even long enough for some general adoption -- but significant profits may never follow. For example, the Xbox was able to gain a following in a market that Microsoft never previously touched, but it still fails to significantly contribute to earnings.

For now, Microsoft continues to milk Office. But with mobile devices that don't need such software, based much more on Web-centric applications, the future is hazy. Even if its server business remains untouched and grows with its industry, there's little to look forward to in Microsoft's future.

It's been a frustrating path for Microsoft investors, who've watched the company fail to capitalize on the incredible growth in mobile over the past decade. However, with the release of its own tablet, along with the widely anticipated Windows 8 operating system, the company is looking to make a splash in this booming market. In this brand-new premium report on Microsoft, our analyst explains that while the opportunity is huge, the challenges are many.

Cintas Corporation Beats Q1 EPS Estimates; Gives FY2015 Guidance (CTAS)

After the closing bell on Monday, business services company Cintas Corporation (CTAS) released its fiscal 2015 first quarter results, with revenues coming in basically flat compared to last year’s Q1, while adjusted EPS came in higher.

CTAS’s Earnings in Brief

Cintas reported second quarter revenues of $1.102 billion, up 0.2% over last year’s Q1 revenues of $1.100 billion. Adjusted earnings for the quarter came in at $92.4 million, or 78 cents per share, a significant gain over last year’s Q1 figures of $76.5 million, or 62 cents per share. The company's results met analysts’ revenue expectations of $1.1 billion and EPS beat the 75 cent estimate. Looking ahead, Cintas sees FY2015 earnings in the range of $3.20-$3.29 on revenue in the range of $4.4 billion to $4.75 billion. Analysts are expecting EPS of $3.09 on revenue of $4.50 billion.

CEO Commentary

Cintas CEO Scott D. Farmer released the following comments: “Our first quarter results reflect the continued good execution by our employees, who we call partners. We have focused on selling good, profitable business over the past few years, as well as managing our cost structure and continuously improving the efficiency of our processes. This focus has resulted in improved margins and better customer retention."

CTAS’s Dividend

Cintas made no mention of its annual dividend, which was to be expected as the company normally declares a dividend raise in mid-to-late October. CTAS paid its most recent annual dividend of 77 cents on December 11, 2013. We expect the company to announce a higher dividend within the coming weeks.

Stock Performance

CTAS stock was up 55 cents, or 0.83%, in after hours trading. YTD, the stock is up 12.21%.

Is This a Good Time to Invest in Stratasys?

A few days back, I was reading a news article that described the ongoing research about 3D printed homes and it surprised me to a considerable extent. Well, it is true that the notion of 3D printed homes is far-fetched but it is possible and more than the probability of achieving such a goal, the story highlighted the massive potential embedded in the 3D printing industry. Stratasys, the global leader in 3D printing also has a highly optimistic outlook regarding the future prospects of this industry.

A step forward

Recently, the company unveiled its game changer product, a multi-material 3D printer that combines colours with multi-material printing in a single run and is expected to revolutionize aspects of product design and manufacturing processes. This printer is estimated to reduce the time required to bring prototypes into the market by approximately 50 percent which is a remarkable feat. Innovation is the indispensable fuel that keeps a technology company running and Stratasys has exhibited a strong culture of efficient innovation.

Getting big with Makerbot

Analysts on the Wall Street have criticized Stratasys' slow responsiveness to market changes and competitive dynamics. The acquisition of Makerbot, for which the company paid around $403 million has been claimed an overvalued deal as the company paid around 40 times the initial valuation of Makerbot. Though Stratasys had made an excess payment to an extent for acquiring Makerbot, it was the best way to enter the consumer 3D printing markets. The acquisition absolutely fits into Stratasys' plan of owning the 3D printing space.

Additionally, Makerbot's 3D printers start at a price of around $2K while Stratasys cheapest printer cost $10K and this acquisition would give Stratasys the much needed pricing leverage that is needed to stay in consumer 3D printing markets. The decision to buy out Makerbot is also valid because one of Stratasys' oldest and fiercest competitor 3D systems (the pioneer of this industry) is already a major player in consumer 3D printing business. Makerbot's recent deal with Dell to offer 3D printers and scanners to small and mid-sized businesses marks the start of benefits that will accrue to Stratasys in the long run.

The duel with 3D systems

As I mentioned above, one of Stratasys' biggest rivals and dominant player in the industry is 3D systems. The company is the initiator of the 3D printing concept and has maintained its position in the industry by creating multiple entry barriers in form of pricing strategies, litigation and robust product portfolio.

Of late the confidence in 3D systems has been on a decline as the company has made some erratic acquisitions in the past in a bid to achieve quick growth but these have not churned out any commendable result. Apparently, 3D systems has overestimated the rate of this industry's growth and hence, invested in ideas that are ahead of time.

The stock plummeted 15% in a day after the announcement of 2013 guidance because like the company itself, investors have also put immense confidence in the scope of 3D printing. As such, the unloading of shares will continue till the market completely discounts the overvaluation factor.

It can be noted that the recent price fall in 3D systems cannot be construed as a sign of a bursting 3D bubble because the aspects of 3D printing industry growth do not align with that of an overvalued bubble. I agree that the stock faced a price correction but the reason behind it is the company's fast-moving acquisition spree that is yielding insignificant results. Also, unlike the dot-com bubble of 2000, the 3D printing industry has much lesser players and robust entry barriers in place which will push the companies to set realistic goals and achieve them.

Take caution

Stratasys has also delivered a cautionary guidance especially with respect to operating expenses which will see a healthy increase during the year 2014. However, the synergy from Objet and Makerbot deals has instilled confidence in the management in respect of sales and revenue.

Though the guidance from Stratasys has a rosy outlook, it has also contained investor expectations. It is quite clear that Makerbot will be the cornerstone of growth for Stratasys in 2014 as the former has an established product portfolio in the consumer 3D printing space along with a strong research and development team. Hence, Makerbot can work towards establishing dominance on the consumer side by offering an affordable range of printers.

Final words

3D printing industry is currently in its early stages and investors have flocked to this sector because of the glamorous future opportunities. As a result, misguided valuation has become a buzz word in the industry and it is becoming difficult to measure the actual worth of these opportunities. Even Stratasys is trading at a 50x multiple based on EPS guidance provided by the company for 2014.

In my opinion, it is prudent to hold off putting money in Stratasys for a while and understand the full impact of integration of Makerbot to its product portfolio because the latter sells its printers at lower operating margins. Thus, a full-fledged integration of Makerbot and clarity in prospects of this industry will be a good point for entry of investors.
