Best Stocks To Own For 2018

Shares of Baker Hughes (BHI) had dropped 6.6% during the first three days of the week after the announcement that it would join forces with General Electric‘s (GE) oil & gas business. Today, however, they’ve rebounded, perhaps suggesting that investors are coming around to the long-term prospects of the deal. In a note released yesterday, FBR’s Thomas Curran and Mark Kelley explain what those are:

Bloomberg News

Since October 28, 2016, as a correction in oil has stoked the latest retreat in OFS stocks,Baker Hughes has underperformed. Given that both sides of the Street seem to perceive de minimis regulatory risk to deal consummation, we believe Baker Hughes’ sell-off chiefly reflects stock participants’ evaluation of the (1) reshaping ofBaker Hughes’ risk-reward profile and (2) potential of the merged entity. With this deal, we believeBaker Hughes essentially chose to forego pre-2019 optionality that could have yielded more 20172018 upsidesuch as insisting on a takeover premium from General Electric, pursuing other M&A possibilities, or remaining solely focused on its flourishing transformation in exchange for a post-2018 with greater potential. Although we do expect Baker Hughes’ trade-off to eventually be vindicated, the deal has also reinforced our existing 2018-based valuation, in our view, capping the stock at $62 for the next 912 months. Baker Hughes’ 8% decline has also reduced the merged entity’s implied enterprise value by 11%. We think investors are also signaling skepticism about guidance for the merged entity, especially for GE Oil & Gas….

Best Stocks To Own For 2018: 8point3 Energy Partners LP(CAFD)

Advisors’ Opinion:

  • [By Laurie Kulikowski]

     We highlight CAFD as our top income oriented pick, a relatively safer, more conservatively-run company within our YieldCo coverage. The stock is yielding 7.5% on a FY16E DPS basis, and provides predictable income over the next several years, regardless of new projects beyond the initial portfolio. With two of the strongest companies in the solar industry serving as sponsors, enough liquidity on the balance sheet to fund growth-projects through mid-2016, and additional levers to pull in order to grow DPS if needed (e.g. payout ratio), we believe CAFD is undervalued.

  • [By Lisa Levin]

    8Point3 Energy Partners LP (NASDAQ: CAFD) was down, falling around 9 percent to $12.05. 8point3 Energy reported Q1 earnings of $0.03 per share on revenue of $9.9 million. First Solar announced plans to review alternatives for the sale of interest in 8point3 Energy Partners. Wells Fargo downgraded 8point3 Energy from Outperform to Market Perform.

  • [By Shanthi Rexaline]

    Wells Fargo Securities downgraded shares of 8Point3 Energy Partners LP (NASDAQ: CAFD) and lowered its price target on Thursday, citing growth/strategic concerns given future sponsorship uncertainties.

  • [By Shanthi Rexaline]

    If the Suniva noise is removed, the firm believes First Solar stock becomes a fundamental story of execution and long-term share gains. The firm also noted that the company has found success selling off projects to third parties, as intended, with the management seeing more value in selling to third-parties rather than to 8Point3 Energy Partners LP (NASDAQ: CAFD).

Top 5 High Tech Stocks To Buy For 2018

On November 5, Oracle (NYSE:ORCL)confirmed that it has finally completed the acquisition of Netsuite (NYSE:N) for $9.3 billion in cash, or $109 per share that the company had initially offered. In my previous article about Oracle, I had suggested that the acquisition of NetSuite, the cloud business application software company, is a smart move by Oracle. What’s more, it is not paying an excessive price for the deal. In fact, Oracle insisted that it will not pay more than what it had first offered despite the resistance from T Rowe Price (NSDQ:TROW)which demanded $133 per share.

T. Rowe had about a 13% stake in NetSuite before the deal, the largest holdings after Oracle’s Chairman Larry Ellison who owned about 40% of NetSuite shares. Although Oracle’s offer represented a premium of 19% on NetSuite’s closing stock price of $91.57 on the day before the bid, T. Rowe was of the opinionthat the NetSuite shares were worth more. However, Oracle showed a disciplined behavior insisting on the initial offer, which it considered fair value, and after receiving approval from a majority of the unaffiliated shares of NetSuite (excluding Mr. Ellison’s shares), the deal was closed.

Top 5 High Tech Stocks To Buy For 2018: Canon, Inc.(CAJ)

Advisors’ Opinion:

  • [By Dan Carroll]

    Nikon’s story is similar to what’s plaguing its Japanese rival, Canon (NYSE: CAJ  ) . Canon’s stock has nosedived by 20% year to date, but the stock’s recovered nearly 3% over the past month. Don’t let appearances fool you: The company slashed its full-year sales and profit forecasts back in July, as the worldwide camera market has slumped, and as smartphones continue to take over this aging niche. Canon’s route back to respectability looks like a treacherous climb.

One year ago, Amigobulls coveredabout the research arm of Microsoft (NSDQ:MSFT), Microsoft Research, as a top-class research organization that, among other pursuits, is exploring quantum computing.

Quantum computers, which process information encoded in quantum bits – qubits – that can be in a quantum superposition of zero and one states, could process information much faster than today’s computers by exploiting subtle quantum phenomena such as quantum entanglement. Here’s why Microsoft stock may make aquantum jump in the long term due to its big bet on scalable quantum computers.

The theoretical peak performance of quantum computers increases very fast with the number of qubits – which justifies the interest of tech giants and funding agencies – but so does the engineering challenge of building practical, operational,high-performance quantum processors. Scalable quantum computing systems, where the number of processing qubits can be increased without running into insurmountable difficulties, are the Holy Grail of quantum computing.

Last week Renewable Energy & Power, Inc. (OTC PINK : RBNW ), a diversified corporation with markets in energy-saving technologies of LED lighting, solar and wind energy, announced a large San Francisco Bay Area electronic assembly corporation has approved the installation of 1,275 LED lights for their entire main campus.

This is the third such announcement in as many months by the Las Vegas based company. It got me thinking about what the company does and how LED lighting can impact a business’ bottom line as much as it contributes to reducing emissions and the effects of global warming. But what about LED lights in RBNW’s backyard? How much of the Vegas Strip is LED? Well, it turns out, quite a bit.

Over a year ago three of Nevadas largest casino companies MGM Resorts, Wynn, and Las Vegas Sands announced plans to source renewable energy for their hotels, a move driven both by increasing demand for responsible energy use from the companies that rent their conference halls, and a surplus of cheap power from solar farms in Nevada and California. MGM Resorts had already implemented an ambitious energy conservation effort by replacing 1.3 million light bulbs in its properties with LEDs.
