Forecast a Stock-Market Top in 2011

(MarketWatch) — How will we know when the bull market is finally coming to an end?






More from MarketWatch.com:



• Gold Investing: What to Do and How to Do It



• Ryan and Obama Health Plans Fail



• Small-Cap Investors Paying Too Much for Risk









This is a particularly timely question right now, given the extraordinary cross currents that are buffeting the market. My columns in recent weeks have reflected those conflicting forces, with some of the advisers I've quoted contending that the bull is alive and well, and others arguing that the bull is living on borrowed time.



For insight, I turn to Ned Davis Research, the quantitative research firm, which looks to a basket of indicators to help determine when a market top is imminent.



It is interesting to note that, nearly two years ago, I turned to this same firm for help in answering this very same question. At the time, many were convinced that the market's rally was nothing but a bear-market correction. But Ned Davis, upon analyzing his various indicators of a potential top, concluded that the bull market had further to go.



What's his firm saying now?



In an interview earlier this week, Ed Clissold, the firm's Global Equity Strategist, said that — though there are some worrisome signs on the horizon — for now his firm is giving the bull the benefit of the doubt.



The top-identifying indicators that the firm looks to fall into four major categories, according to Clissold. They are:



Valuation



Clissold told me that, though stock valuations aren't yet at such an extreme as to cause this category of indicators to flash a sell signal, there are some causes for concern.



One of these causes for concern, according to a letter Davis sent to his institutional clients earlier this week, is that "profit margins on the S&P Industrial Average are at record highs. ... Using data back to 1954, very high profit margins, on average, have not been bullish for stocks, because the series is very mean-reverting."



Another source for concern, which Davis also highlighted earlier this week, is the cyclically adjusted P/E ratio that Yale professor Robert Shiller made famous.



At the same time, however, Clissold referred to other valuation measures that suggest stocks are not particularly expensive right now — such as the P/E ratio based on 12-month earnings (as opposed to the 10-year average that Prof. Shiller prefers).



All in all, a split decision on valuation. As Davis wrote earlier this week: "I can certainly understand the bullish stance of those who argue stocks are still reasonably priced, based upon current earnings. Yet, I don't think that presents a complete picture of potential risks. I am just providing the evidence for clients to make their own decisions."

Jim Cramer's Stay Mad for Life: Get Rich, Stay Rich (Make Your Kids Even Richer)

Sentiment



This is the one category out of the four that, in Davis' opinion, comes closest to yelling "sell." He maintains two sentiment indices, one of which is well into the zone of excessive optimism and the other on the border of that zone. On contrarian grounds, that is worrisome.



Market breadth



This is the category that is perhaps the most bullish, according to Davis. "One of the key characteristics of a major top in the stock market is considerable divergences," Davis wrote earlier this week, and there are few signs of that.



One of the indicators on which Davis relies for evidence of divergencies is called the "High Low Logic Index," which represents the lesser of new 52-week highs or new 52-week lows as a percentage of all issues traded. The High Low Logic Index traces back to a metric created three decades ago by Norman Fosback.



In his book Stock Market Logic, Fosback describes its rationale as follows: "Under normal conditions, either a substantial number of stocks establish new annual highs, or a large number set new lows — but not both. As the [High Low] Logic Index is the lesser of the two percentages, high readings are therefore difficult to achieve. … When the Index attains a high level, it indicates that the market is undergoing a period of extreme divergence. … Such divergence is not usually conducive to future rising stock prices."



Currently, according to Davis, the High Low Logic Index is bullish at 2.4%. At the stock market top prior to the 2007-2009 bear market, in contrast, it rose to close to 6%. The only other time in recent decades when this index got this high was in early 2000, right before the popping of the Internet bubble.



Interest rates



Clissold told me that this category, like valuation, is providing some causes for concern, but is not yet outright bearish.



The concerns derive from higher rates, which have caused some of the firm's interest-rate trend indicators to enter into bearish territory. However, Clissold added, he doesn't think that these concerns yet amount to a "screaming sell signal."



One straw in the wind that he recommended we be on the lookout for would be the 10-year Treasury yield rising to around 4.25% — three quarters of a percentage point above its current level.

Jim Cramer's Buy & Sell List

Cramer Buy Recommendations




Airgas (ARG) is up by 7.1%, since the March 15 close. In FY 2010 through March, revenues decreased by 11.16% to $3.86 billion, and non-GAAP EPS dropped by 25%. The profit margin also improved to 55.17% from 52.98%, however the EBT margin worsened to 8.13% from 9.87%. The next earnings release is on May 5, with analysts expecting between $0.84 and $0.86. In comparison, Q4 2010 produced $0.69. The packaged gas industry in the US is highly competitive, and ARG shares already trade well above our fair value estimates.



Airgas is the largest US distributor of industrial, medical, and specialty gases and hard goods, such as welding equipment and supplies. Airgas is also one of the largest US distributors of safety products, the largest US producer of nitrous oxide and dry ice, the largest liquid carbon dioxide producer in the Southeast, the fifth largest producer of atmospheric merchant gases in North America, and a leading distributor of process chemicals, refrigerants and ammonia products.



Peabody Energy (BTU) is +2.0%, since the March 15 close. In 2010, GAAP EPS is +71.69% to $2.85, after -52.71%. Revenues went up by 14.10% to $6.86 billion, after -8.81% in 2009. The EBT margin improved to 16.23% from 10.84%. In 2011, analysts expect non-GAAP EPS to be between $3.48 and $6.02. In 2010, non-GAAP EPS was $3.05. The next earnings release is on April 19, with analysts expecting between $0.46 and $0.73. In comparison, Q1 2010 produced $0.52 for non-GAAP EPS. BTU shares also trade with a P/S multiple of 2.6. From 2004 to 2010, those multiples were 1.4, 2.4, 2.1, 3.6, 0.9, 2.0, and 2.5, respectively. Double digit revenue growth and EPS doubling should raise multiples to near 3.0x. The company also has a debt to equity ratio of 0.58. This is an established company, and we believe that it ought to be a part of your portfolio, if you seek to shed some risk. BTU shares trade slightly above our fair value estimate, and we believe it will outperform the market.



Peabody Energy is the world’s largest private-sector coal company and a global leader in clean coal solutions. Peabody fuels 10% of US power and 2 % of worldwide electricity.



Continental Resources (CLR) is up by 5.5%, since the March 15 close. In 2010, revenues grew by 33.99% to $839 million, and GAAP EPS shot up by 135.71% to $0.99. The profit margin improved to 77.60% from 76.11% and the EBT margin expanded to 30.80% from 17.57%. The company also has a debt to equity ratio of 0.77. The next earnings release is on May 2, with analysts expecting non-GAAP EPS between $0.44 and $0.61 and revenues between $299.2 million and $337.61 million. In comparison, Q1 2010 produced $0.43 and $248.268 million, respectively. Given higher oil and gas prices, we recommend CLR for our readers. However, keep your portfolio diversified. If you already have oil and gas stocks, avoid this. This is a good opportunity for one looking to add oil and gas exposure.



The company is an independent oil and natural gas exploration and production company. It is now the third largest crude oil producer in the Rocky Mountain region, the largest leaseholder and driller in the Bakken Shale and the largest leaseholder in the Anadarko Woodford in Oklahoma, with additional operations in the South and East regions of the US. The company’s exploration activities in large new or developing plays provide the opportunity to acquire undeveloped acreage positions for future drilling operations.



Caterpillar (CAT) is +8.2%, since the March 15 close. In 2010, GAAP EPS jumped by 190.21% to $4.15, after falling by 74.74%. Revenues grew by 31.46% to $42.58 billion, after dropping by 36.88% in 2009. The EBT margin also improved to 8.81% from 1.76%. In 2011, analysts expect non-GAAP EPS to be between $5.49 and $6.90. In 2010, the actual non-GAAP EPS was $4.15. The next earnings release is on April 29, with the Street forecasting between $0.97 and $1.52. In comparison, Q1 2010 produced $0.36. CAT shares trade with a price to sales multiple of 1.7. This is the high multiple, if looking at the period from 2001 to 2010. These shares should be trading 1.5 times sales. The company also has a debt to equity ratio of 1.89. The company is aiming for $8.00 to $12.00 in non-GAAP EPS in 2012, and we believe that it will get there.



Ford (F) is up by 1.3%, since the March 15 close. In 2010, revenues grew by 9% to $128.95 billion, and the EBT margin improved to 5.54% from 2.56%. GAAP EPS increased by 93.02% to $1.66. In 2011, analysts expect non-GAAP EPS to be between $1.15 and $2.25, or a decrease between 39.7% and an increase of 17.8% from $1.91 in 2010. Revenue estimates range between $117.6 billion and $132.3 billion. The next earnings release is on April 25, when analysts expect between $0.28 and $0.60, or between a decrease of 39.1% and an increase of 30.4%. In comparison, Q1 2010 produced $0.46 for non-GAAP EPS. Ford shares trade with a price to sales multiple of 0.5. This is the highest multiple between 2001 and 2010. So, investors have high expectations on Ford. If the company can demonstrate upper single digit growth in EPS and in revenues, this multiple is justified. The company also has $103.98 billion in long term debt ($19.26 billion for the automotive sector and $85.112 billion for the financial services sector). Ford trades at a significant discount to our fair value estimate. Interested buyers should look at taking a position in shares now.



Joy Global (JOYG) is up by 7.1%, since the March 15 close. In FY 2010 through October, GAAP EPS dropped slightly by 0.23% to $4.40, after expanding by 27.83% in FY 2009. Revenues also fell by 2.06%, after +5.25% in 2009. On the bright side, the EBT margin improved to 19.27% in FY 2010 from 18.97% in FY 2009. For FY 2011, analysts expect non-GAAP EPS to be between $5.19 and $5.83, after producing $4.40 in non-GAAP EPS in FY 2010. Q1 2011 already showed $0.96, which was an improvement from $0.73 in Q1 2010. The next earnings release is on June 2, when analysts forecast non-GAAP EPS to be between $1.29 and $1.50. In comparison, Q2 2010 posted $1.15. JOYG shares trade with a P/S multiple of 2.8. This level is the highest since the 2005-06 era, when EPS had triple digit percentage increases and revenues grew 20-35%. This company also has a debt to equity ratio of 0.26. Skim the company outlook, here.



We agree with Cramer on this, and expect growing demand from emerging markets. Joy Global is a worldwide leader in manufacturing, servicing and distributing equipment for surface mining through P&H Mining Equipment and underground mining through Joy Mining Machinery.



Xilinx (XLNX) is slightly down by 0.1%, since the March 15 close. In FY 2010 through March, revenues grew by 0.46% to $1.83 billion, but GAAP EPS dropped by 5.15% to $1.29. The profit margin remained steady at 63.36%, but the EBT margin fell to 23% from 27.30% in FY 2009. Through the first 3 quarters of FY 2011, non-GAAP EPS came in at $1.81, compared with $0.75 for the same period in FY 2010. The next earnings release is on April 27, with analysts expecting between $0.49 and $0.55 in non-GAAP EPS. In comparison, Q4 2010 produced $0.58. We expect the company to continue to make inroads in the programmable logic device chip space, and place a buy on XLNX shares. Xilinx is the world's leading provider of programmable platforms.



Cramer Sell Recommendations





Community Bank System (CBU) is up by 3.6%, since the March 15 close. Revenues grew by 8.61% to $270 million, and GAAP EPS shot up by 50% to $1.89. The next earnings release is on April 26, with analysts expecting non-GAAP EPS to be between $0.45 and $0.49. In comparison, Q1 2010 produced $0.42. We expect the company to post earnings above $0.48. CBU shares trade below our fair value estimate, and we believe that they have plenty of upside. The company is also a prime takeover or merger target. Buy CBU for the long run.



Headquartered in DeWitt, NY, Community Bank System has $6.3 billion in assets and approximately 170 customer facilities across Upstate NY, where it operates as Community Bank, and Northeastern PA, where it is known as First Liberty Bank & Trust. Its other subsidiaries include: Benefit Plans Administrative Services, an employee benefits administration and consulting firm with offices in Upstate NY, Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, PA and Houston, TX; the CBNA Insurance Agency, with offices in four northern NY, communities; Community Investment Services, a broker-dealer delivering financial products throughout the company’s branch network; and Nottingham Advisors, a wealth management and advisory firm with offices in Buffalo, NY, and North Palm Beach, FL.



On April 11, the company announced that it completed its merger with The Wilber Corporation, and its banking subsidiary, Wilber National Bank, a $870 million commercial bank with 22 banking offices serving the Central Region of Upstate NY.



Stillwater Mining (SWC) is +5.9%, since the March 15 close. In 2010, the company grew revenues by 40.93% to $556 million, and GAAP EPS returned to positive territory to $0.51 from -$0.10. The profit margin nearly doubled to 16.30% from 8.28%. The company also reported its highest earnings in a decade in 2010 ($50.4 million). The next earnings release is on May 2, with the consensus analyst estimate at $0.37. In comparison, the company produced $0.14 for non-GAAP EPS in Q1 2010. Palladium prices remain at high levels, and we expect production growth of 2%. This signals to us that SWC shares are undervalued, and should be a buy for those looking to diversify their mining holdings. SWC should outperform the general market.



Stillwater Mining Company is one of the world’s leading producers of platinum group metals and the only significant primary producer of palladium in the Western Hemisphere. The company’s 28-mile long JM Reef in Montana is the highest grade ore body containing platinum group metals. View the latest company presentation here.



Tibco Software (TIBX) is up by 12.7%, since the March 15 close. In FY 2010 through November, the company expanded revenues by 21.34% to $754 million, and GAAP EPS grew by 27.78% to $0.46. The EBT margin held steady at 14.70% from 14.42% in 2009, but is still improved from 10.99% in 2009. Q1 2011 produced EPS of $0.16, which was higher than Q1 2010’s $0.12. The next earnings release is on June 20, with analysts expecting between $0.18 and $0.21. In comparison, Q2 2010 produced $0.15. Tibco faces fierce competition from IBM, and we believe these shares will underperform the general market.



The company is a provider of infrastructure software for companies to use on-premise or as part of cloud computing environments. TIBCO says it provides companies the two-second advantage™ – the ability to capture the right information at the right time and act on it preemptively for a competitive advantage. More than 4,000 customers worldwide rely on TIBCO to manage information, decisions, processes and applications in real time

Will Banks Increase Dividends ?

With the Federal Reserve finally giving its consent for big banks to increase dividend payments, everyone is heaving a sigh of relief … well, almost everyone.

The Little Book of Big Dividends: A Safe Formula for Guaranteed Returns (Little Books. Big Profits)


Credit rating agency Standard & Poor's seems to have different ideas.



The immediate results

With several big banks coming up with plans to raise their dividends and buy back stock, it seems that the financial crisis is firmly a thing of the past. Economic recovery aided by strong operating profits in the financial sector has no doubt helped the big banks pass the dividend stress tests.



Let's put things into perspective. According to revisions in the GDP last week, the finance sector accounts for 30% of all fourth-quarter operating profits for 2010. Considering the recency of the financial crisis, this is definitely a positive thing for the banks, especially because this sector contributes less than 10% to the overall GDP.



In absolute numbers, finance profits jumped to $426.5 billion. It's agreed that the financial sector led the way into the recession, but now the same sector is leading the way out. Shouldn't they now be entitled to return capital to shareholders?



Not according to credit rating agency S&P. The reason: The economic crisis is not fully over and banks still don't have the balance sheet strength to afford returning capital to shareholders. The agency said that banks need an 8% risk-adjusted capital ratio to make sure that another financial crisis is avoided, and it argues that banks still fall short of the target on an average which read 7.6% at the end of 2010.



The performance

So how exactly are the banks placed? The big banks have definitely recovered. Let's have a look at their capital ratios individually.



According to Basel III norms -- the new global standards set following the financial crisis for adequacy in bank capital requirements, liquidity, and leverage -- the minimum tier 1 capital ratio must be 6% and total capital ratio 8%.



Bank of America's (NYSE: BAC ) tier 1 capital ratio stands at 11.2%, while the total capital ratio is 15.8%. This is not bad. However, the Fed recently blocked its move to increase dividends later this year. This might be because of the bank's huge mortgage business, which is still under particular scrutiny from institutional investors and state attorneys general. Fair enough.



JPMorgan Chase (NYSE: JPM ) has a tier 1 capital ratio of 12.1% and a total capital ratio of 15.5%. With approval from the Fed, the bank is raising its quarterly dividend to $0.25 a share from $0.05. It also plans to buy back stock worth $15 billion. This bank is behaving like the crisis is almost fully behind it.Be a Dividend Millionaire: A Proven, Low-Risk Approach That Will Generate Income for the Long Term



Citigroup (NYSE: C ) has a tier 1 capital ratio of 12.9% and a total capital ratio of 16.6%. The Fed approved its plan to get back to its $0.01 per-share dividend.



Capital One's (NYSE: COF ) tier 1 capital ratio stands at 11.6%, while the total ratio is 16.8%. The bank has not disclosed the Fed's response on its capital plan, though it will not be raising its dividend this quarter. However, it has managed to dramatically reduce its year-over-year leverage ratio to 8.1%, from 10.3% at the end of 2009, as well as its total asset-to-total equity to a very low 7.4.



Goldman Sachs (NYSE: GS ) holds a tier 1 capital ratio of 16%, while the total capital ratio stands at 19.1%. Traditionally, investment banks such as Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley are supposed to keep higher capital levels since their assets tend to be riskier. The Fed approved the bank's payback of $5.65 billion to Warren Buffett, including the 10% premium, which it borrowed during the financial crisis.



Morgan Stanley (NYSE: MS ) has a tier 1 capital ratio of 16.6% and a total capital ratio of 16.5%. Another bank yet to reveal the Fed's response, it says it will find profitable ways to use its excess capital, which means it might reinvest it in the business or buy back stock.

What next?

Is S&P justified in issuing warnings that at "this juncture of economic recovery," excessive payouts to investors might hinder capital requirements? Probably yes. It seems the agency, along with Moody's and Fitch (the three major ratings agencies), is particular about not repeating the mistakes, as they were all completely in the dark on the financial collapse in 2008.



My attitude is that S&P is more concerned about stock buybacks and special dividends which might reduce capital levels. That position is justified, despite the fact that these big banks collected substantial profits, because that won't continue forever.



Someone must address the huge leverage big banks employ, as this happens to be one of the primary causes of the downturn. The problem lies with the fact that certain banks take it for granted that they are "too big to fail" and believe a government bailout will always be around. Their claims that capital levels are adequate should therefore be treated critically. There is no harm in being cautious when high unemployment, government cutbacks, and rising oil prices all pose risks to the U.S. economy.

What stocks CRAMER has a BUY or sell RECOMMENDATIONS ?

Wednesday, March 9th buy and sell recommendations of Jim Cramer, host of Mad Money on CNBC. Since then, for comparison purposes, the S&P 500 is +0.88% and the Dow is +1.60%.




CRAMER BUY RECOMMENDATIONS



Noble Energy (NBL)



Noble Energy (NBL) was first recommended this year by Cramer on January 10. He also put out a buy on March 9 and March 16. Since January 10, NBL shares are up by 16.1%, and since March 9, it is +6.0%.



Non-GAAP EPS (2010): $4.22



Non-GAAP EPS analyst estimates (2011): $3.15 to $5.87 (-25.3% to +39.0%)



Revenues (2010): $3.02 B



Revenue analyst estimates (2011): $3.1 B to $3.6 B (+2.6% to +19.2%)



Profit Margins (2011 and 2010): 81.14% and 77.30%



Q1 2011 report date is April 28.



Non-GAAP EPS analyst estimates (Q1 2011): $0.70 to $1.31 (-10.2% to +67.9% vs. $0.78 in Q1 2010)



Revenue analyst estimates (Q1 2011): $741 M to $871.25 M (+1.0% to +18.8% vs. $733 M in Q1 2010)



NBL shares trade with a price to sales multiple of 5.7, which is the highest level between 2001 and 2010.



Debt to equity ratio: 0.33



Looking at historical figures, investors have priced in revenue growth in excess of 25% and EPS growth well above the highest estimates. Given the improving global economic environment and resultant higher demand for oil and gas, and Noble’s discovered reserves, we expect Noble to continue increase production and sales at its current pace, we expect revenues at $3.4 billion.

Revenue analyst estimates (Q1 2011): $741 M to $871.25 M (+1.0% to +18.8% vs. $733 M in Q1 2010)



NBL shares trade with a price to sales multiple of 5.7, which is the highest level between 2001 and 2010.



Debt to equity ratio: 0.33



Looking at historical figures, investors have priced in revenue growth in excess of 25% and EPS growth well above the highest estimates. Given the improving global economic environment and resultant higher demand for oil and gas, and Noble’s discovered reserves, we expect Noble to continue increase production and sales at its current pace, we expect revenues at $3.4 billion. Assuming a price to sales multiple of 5.5, we place a price target of $105.50. You’re looking at making 9% here. These shares do not provide aggressive capital appreciation at this point, but are a buy.



Noble Energy is a leading independent energy company engaged in worldwide oil and gas exploration and production. The company has core operations onshore in the U.S., primarily in the DJ Basin, in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico, offshore Eastern Mediterranean, and offshore West Africa. This company does have exposure in Saudi Arabia. View the company’s presentation at the Howard Weil Energy Conference on March 28.



Global Industries (GLBL)

Global Industries (GLBL) is up by 16.3%, since March 9. He reiterated the buy on March 16.



Non-GAAP EPS (2010): -$0.71



Non-GAAP EPS analyst estimates (2011): $0.00 to $0.46



Revenues (2010): $568 million



Revenue analyst estimates (2011): $564.5 M to $813 M (-0.6% to +43.1%)



Profit Margins (2011 and 2010): 5.78% and 17.39%



Q1 2011 report date is May 4.



Non-GAAP EPS analyst estimates (Q1 2011): -$0.07 to $0.03 (vs. -$0.19 in Q1 2010)



Revenue analyst estimates (Q1 2011): $84.9 M to $138.2 M (-20.5% to +29.3% vs. $106.81 M in Q1 2010)



GLBL shares trade with a price to sales multiple of 2.0. In 2004, 2005, and 2007, those multiples were 2.0, 1.9, and 2.5, respectively.



Debt to equity ratio: 0.38



It looks like investors have priced in revenue growth in excess of 15% and EPS growth to above $0.30. We are not quite as bullish, and expect revenues to grow by 10% to $624.8 M. The price to sales multiple is in line, and we place a price target of $11.00. At prices near $10, this would make GLBL a tepid buy opportunity.



The company is a leading offshore solutions provider of offshore construction, engineering, project management, and support services including pipeline construction, platform installation and removal, deepwater / SURF installations, IRM, and diving to the oil and gas industry worldwide.



MEMC Electronic Metals (WFR)

MEMC Electronic Metals (WFR) was first introduced this year by Cramer as a buy on January 14. He brought it back into light on March 9 and then on March 16, with buy recommendations on both days. Since January 14, WFR is +9.5%, and since March 9, it is down by 0.5%. We think WFR is a terrific pick.



Non-GAAP EPS (2010): $0.15



Non-GAAP EPS analyst estimates (2011): $0.94 to $1.54 (+526.6% to +926.6%)



Revenues (2010): $2.23 B



Revenues analyst estimates (2011): $2.2 B to $3.6 B (-1.7% to +61.4%)



Profit margins (2010 and 2009): 15.05% and 11.01%



Q1 2011 earnings release is on April 15.



Non-GAAP EPS analyst estimates (Q1 2011): $0.05 to $0.23 (vs. -$0.04 in Q1 2010)



Revenue analyst estimates (Q1 2011): $500 M to $711.9 M (+14.2% to +62.6% vs. $437.7 M in Q1 2010)



WFR shares trade with a price to sales multiple of 1.3. From 2003 to 2007, the multiples were 2.7, 2.8, 4.5, 5.8, and 10.7, respectively.



Debt to equity ratio: 0.01



WFR shares should be trading near 2 times sales per share, but the company is being penalized for increased costs. Yet, due to expected higher volumes of wafers and higher prices, we expect total revenues to grow by 45% to $3.25 billion. We place a price target of $24.50, and recommend WFR as a buy. At current levels, it is possible to double your money.



The company is a leader in semiconductor and solar technology. MEMC has been a pioneer in the design and development of silicon wafer technologies for over 50 years. With R&D and manufacturing facilities in the U.S., Europe and Asia, MEMC enables the next generation of high performance semiconductor devices and solar cells.

Saks (SKS)

Saks (SKS): Cramer first told his viewers to sell this company on February 18. He had a change of heart, and put out a buy on it on March 9, March 11, and March 16. Since February 18, SKS is down by 9.6%, and since March 9, it is down by 4.8%.



Non-GAAP EPS (FY 2011 through January): $0.19

Q1 2011 earnings release is on May 17.



Non-GAAP EPS analyst estimates (Q1 2011): $0.12 to $0.17 (+0% to +41.6% vs. $0.12 in Q1 2010



Revenue analyst estimates (Q1 2011): $681.5 M to $715.5 M (+2.1% to +7.2% vs. $667.438 M in Q1 2010)



SKS shares trade with price to sales multiple of 0.7.



Debt to equity ratio: 0.31



Due to cautious optimism on consumer spending, we believe SKS shares should be trading 0.5 times sales, instead at its current levels. We expect revenues to grow by 4% to $2.89BBQ Grill Master, learn various techniques like: creating the proper BBQ fire, direct and indirect methods of cooking, searing rubs and more! B, and place a price target of $9.10. Short SKS shares.



Saks Incorporated operates 46 Saks Fifth Avenue stores, 57 Saks OFF 5TH stores.



Honeywell (HON)

Honeywell (HON): Cramer has religiously recommended this, with buys on January 7, February 2, February 28, March 9, and March 16. Since January 7, HON shares are +7.6%, and up 28.6% over a 6 month period.



Non-GAAP EPS (2010): $2.81

Revenues (2010): $33.37 billion



Revenues analyst estimates (2011): $35.1 B to $36.6 B



EBT margins (2010 and 2009): 8.52% and 9.64%



Q1 2011 earnings release is on May 17.



Non-GAAP EPS analyst estimates (Q1 2011): $0.79 to $0.85 (+58.0% to 70.0% vs. $0.50 in Q1 2010)



Revenue analyst estimates (Q1 2011): $8.3 B to $8.7 B (+6.7% to +11.8% vs. $7.776 B in Q1 2010



HON shares have a price to sales multiple of 1.4. This is a relatively high multiple given performance since 2001.



Debt to equity ratio: 0.54



We believe HON shares should be trading 1.2 times sales per share, and we expect revenues to grow by 7% to $35.7 B. We also believe Q1 2011 results will fall within the lower end of estimates. We place a price target of $59.50, and believe it will not outperform the market. Consider taking profits soon or cutting your losses on this.



Brandywine Realty Trust (BDN)

Brandywine Realty Trust (BDN) is down by 0.1%, since March 8. Cramer also put out a buy on it on March 9 and March 16.



Non-GAAP EPS (2010): -$0.19



Non-GAAP EPS analyst estimates (2011): -$0.26 to -$0.22



Revenues (2010): $567 million



Revenues analyst estimates (2011): $339.27 M to $599 M (-40.1% to +5.6%)



Profit margins (2010 and 2009): 59.35% and 59.74%



Q1 2011 earnings release is on April 27.



Non-GAAP EPS analyst estimates (Q1 2011): -$0.08 to -$0.06



Revenue analyst estimates (Q1 2011): $81.89 M to $145.9 M (-42.9% to +1.5% vs. $143.635 M)



BDN shares trade with a price to sales multiple of 2.8. From 2001 to 2006, those multiples were 2.6, 2.7, 3.3, 4.3, 4.0, and 4.1, respectively.



Debt to equity ratio: 1.31



We believe these BDN shares are trading with a fair P/S multiple. Due to improving business conditions, we also expect revenues to grow by 2% to $578.34 million, and place a price target of $12.30. Because BDN currently trades near $12, it also seems that investors are also expecting growth in the low single digits. This is not a screaming buy, but it is yielding 4.9%, and expected to beat inflation.

The Properties and the properties owned by the Real Estate Ventures are located in or near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Metropolitan Washington, DC; Southern and Central New Jersey; Richmond, Virginia; Wilmington, Delaware; Austin, Texas and Oakland, Concord, Carlsbad and Rancho Bernardo, California. In addition to managing properties that we own, as of December 31, 2010, the REIT managed approximately 7.8 million square feet of office and industrial properties for third parties and Real Estate Ventures.



CRAMER SELL RECOMMENDATIONS



The Blackstone Group (BX)

The Blackstone Group (BX) is up by 6.0%, since March 9. He also restated the sell recommendation on March 16.



Non-GAAP EPS (2010): $1.26



Non-GAAP EPS analyst estimates (2011): $1.40 to $1.70 (+11.1% to +34.9%)

Revenues (2010): $3.119 B



Revenues analyst estimates (2011): $3.7 B to $4.2 B (+18.6% to +34.6%)



Q1 2011 earnings release is on April 21.



Non-GAAP EPS analyst estimates (Q1 2011): $0.31 to $0.40 (-3.1% to +25.0% vs. $0.32 in Q1 2010



Revenues analyst estimates (Q1 2011): $863.7 M to $985 M (+23.1% to +40.4% vs. $701.239 M in Q1 2010)



BX shares trade with a price to sales multiple of 2.2.



Debt to equity ratio: 1.85



We are bullish on BX, and expect its real estate and private equity segment to fare well compared to other years. We expect revenues to expand by 25% to $3.9 B, and place a price target of $23.50, which is about 4.75 points from present or the potential to make 25%. This is a good buy opportunity.

Its alternative asset management businesses include the management of private equity funds, real estate funds, hedge fund solutions, credit- oriented funds and closed-end mutual funds. The Blackstone Group also provides various financial advisory services, including financial and strategic advisory, restructuring and reorganization advisory and fund placement services.



Netflix (NFLX)

Netflix (NFLX) has an interesting story. Cramer first recommended selling it on February 25, this year. On Tuesday, March 1, he changed his recommendation to buy. He then put out sell recommendations on March 9 and 16. He finally settled on a buy on March 22. Since February 25, NFLX is up by 8.7%.



Non-GAAP EPS (2010): $2.96



Non-GAAP EPS analyst estimates (2011): $3.99 to $4.93 (+34.7% to +66.5%)



Revenues (2010): $2.16 B



Revenues analyst estimates (2011): $2.8 B to $3.4 B (+29.6% to +57.4%)

Revenues analyst estimates (Q1 2011): $646.7 M to $719.5 M (+30.9% to +45.7% vs. $493.665 M in Q1 2010)



NFLX shares trade with a price to sales multiple of 5.9.
The Investopedia Guide to Wall Speak : The Terms You Need to Know to Talk Like Cramer, Think Like Soros, and Buy Like Buffett


Debt to equity ratio: 0.81



The Street has high expectations for NetFlix, but we feel that these shares should be trading near 4 times sales per share. Only triple digit revenue growth and EPS growth above 70% would merit the current multiple. We expect revenues to grow by 30% to $2.81 B, and place a price target of $207. NFLX is a sell at these price levels.

Qualcomm (QCOM)

Qualcomm (QCOM) has a mixed story. Cramer said to buy it on January 11 and January 27, but he changed his mind on March 16 to a sell. From January 11 to March 16, QCOM is down by 2.3%, but up by 0.4% since March 16.



Non-GAAP EPS (FY 2010 through October): $2.46



Non-GAAP EPS analyst estimates (FY 2011): $2.57 to $3.18 (+4.4% to +29.2%)



Revenues (FY 2010): $10.99 B



Revenues analyst estimates (FY 2011): $13.6 B to $14.9 B (+23.7% to +35.5%)



EBT Margins (2010 and 2009 and 2008): 36.70% and 19.93% and 34.34%



Non-GAAP EPS (Q1 2011): $0.82 (+32.2% vs. $0.62 in Q1 2010)



Revenues (Q1 2011): $3.348 B (+25.4% vs. $2.668 B in Q1 2010)



Q2 2011 earnings release is on April 20.



Non-GAAP EPS analyst estimates (Q2 2011): $0.78 to $0.85 (+32.2% to +44.0% vs. $0.59 in Q2 2010)



Revenues analyst estimates (Q2 2011): $3.51 B to $3.8B (+31.9% to +42.8% vs. $2.661 B in Q1 2010)



QCOM shares trade with a price to sales multiple of 7.5. These shares have historically traded at these lofty multiples.



Debt to equity ratio: ~0



We expect revenues to grow by 30% to $14.28 B, and place a price target of $65. This is an opportunity to make 22%, and would recommend it.



W&T Offshore (WTI)

W&T Offshore (WTI) is up by 11.2%, since March 9. Cramer reiterated the sell on March 16.



Non-GAAP EPS (2010): $1.57



Non-GAAP EPS analyst estimate (2011): $0.52 to $1.90 (-66.8% to +21.0%)



Revenues (2010): $706 M



Revenues analyst estimates (2011): $721.3 M to $841.2 M (+2.1% to +19.1%)



Profit margin (2010 and 2009): 97.50% to 64.14%



Q1 2011 earnings release is on May 4.



Non-GAAP EPS analyst estimates (Q1 2011): $0.18 to $0.50 (-63.2% to +2.0% vs. $0.49 in Q1 2010)



Revenues analyst estimates (Q1 2011): $179.4 M to $205.4 M (+5.7% to +21.1% vs. $169.585 M in Q1 2010)



WTI shares trade with a price to sales multiple of 2.3. From 2005 to 2007, the multiples were 3.3, 2.6, and 2.0, respectively.



Debt to equity ratio: 1.07



For 2011, the company gave guidance to sell between 83.2 and 96.7 Bcfe. In 2010, the company sold 87.0 Bcfe at an average realized sales price of $8.15 per Mcfe, compared to 94.8 Bcfe sold at an average price of $6.39 per Mcfe in 2009.



The current price to sales multiple is fair. We also believe that revenues will grow by 10% to $776.6 M, and place a price target of $24.25. So, there is only space to gain 1.75 points or 7.8%. This is a buy, but do not be thrilled.



The company is an independent oil and natural gas company focused primarily in the Gulf of Mexico, including exploration in the deepwater and deep shelf regions, where it has developed significant technical expertise. W&T has grown through acquisition, exploitation and exploration and holds working interests in approximately 67 fields in federal and state waters and a majority of its daily production is derived from wells it operates.
