Top 2nd half stock picks to buy in 2011

•Baidu (BIDU): The Chinese equivalent of Google (GOOG) owns 75% of the market in China.


•Gol Linhas (GOL): This airline should fly high on the rise of the Brazilian middle class, as well as upcoming soccer and Olympics events in the country.

•Freeport McMoRan (FCX): For a commodity play, it's hard to find better than the largest publicly traded copper miner in the world.

•Johnson Controls (JCI): This is a U.S. company with good exposure to China, since it makes auto interiors for manufacturers there. The auto industry was beaten down this year, but Johnson Controls is a good way to capture the chance it will ramp back up.

•Banco Bilbao Vizcaya (BBVA): Again, the strategy here is to jump in as the stock bounces back. This bank is making a big play for more share of the Spanish market.





When asked about his take on General Motors (GM) and Ford (F), Jubak said both automakers are on the upswing, with GM specifically one of the best-positioned to sell more cars in China. But a better way to profit from the recovery in the auto industry is at the supply level, with stocks such as Johnson Controls, he The Lord of the Rings: The Motion Picture Trilogy (Extended Edition + Digital Copy) [Blu-ray]added.

Boeing (BA) would be on Jubak's list for all of 2011, but he said the stock has already appreciated in the first half of the year. It may continue to appreciate through the end of 2011, but a better strategy would be to look at suppliers, such as Precision Castparts (PCP).

BX 10. Digital Realty Trust(DLR_) is a data-center real estate investment trust, or REIT.

Still, 65% of Wall Street analysts rate the REIT "buy."

9. Crown Castle(CCI_) owns, operates and leases wireless communications towers.

Recent lease modifications with carriers, including AT&T(T_), are expected to bolster 2011 revenue. Given the company's history of exceeding rental revenue guidance, Goldman is bullish on the company's growth prospects and is forecasting rental revenue 2% above the top threshold of management's guidance and 77 cents of earnings in 2011. Its $64 target was derived by combining free-cash-flow and discounted-cash-flow analyses, implying 24% upside

8. Chicago Bridge & Iron(CBI_) is an engineering and construction company, focusing on infrastructure projects for oil-and-gas companies.


Goldman views it as a levered oil play. Crude oil is trading above $90 a barrel, currently, and demand is growing amid the global recovery. E&C backlogs are inflecting and Goldman expects investors to start paying higher multiples for stocks in the sector, with Chicago Bridge & Iron offering the most upside. Its stock trades at a forward P/E of 14 and a cash-flow multiple of 15, 34% and 35% peer discounts.





--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



7. Sapient(SAPE_) is a services company, selling advisory, analytics and consulting services to businesses and government agencies.

It also operates technology outsourcing centers in India. Goldman has a $15.50 price target on the stock, suggesting an impending 12-month return of 27%. The stock returned 47% in 2010 and has delivered annualized gains of 11% since 2007. Sales and net income advanced 16% and 171% a year, on average, over that span. The stock trades at a forward P/E of 24, a 32% industry premium. The company has $187 million of net liquidity (total cash minus debt).

6. Blackstone(BX_) is an alternative-investment company, structured as a publicly-traded partnership, which invests roughly $104 billion, of fee-generating assets, in private equity, real estate and hedge funds.


The firm also has an advisory unit, offering merger and acquisition, restructuring and reorganization assistance. Goldman expects several of Blackstone's funds to surpass so-called high-water marks and to resume charging performance fees in 2011. It thinks funds could attract another $7 billion, to boot. The stock commands a discount forward P/E of 9.8.





--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



5. Precision Castparts(PCP_) makes metal components and castings, forgings and fasteners for aerospace and industrial companies.

Precision has significant fixed-costs, so incremental volume bolsters profit margins significantly. The company beat Goldman's fiscal second-quarter sales forecast by 3.5%. It expects Precision's stock to advance 28% to $128 within the next 12 months. Precision commands a premium of 93% over its aerospace peers, based on cash flow per share.

Still, 75% of analysts covering Precision rate it "buy" and 15% rank it "hold."

4. Hasbro(HAS_) is a toy maker.


The company's new children-focused television network, The Hub, is demonstrating sequential growth in ratings, with all-day viewership of 34,000. Not only is this venture generating incremental advertising revenue, but offers a venue to market Hasbro's toys and games. Hasbro has grown sales and net income 3.9% and 11%, annually, since 2007. Its stock has risen 23% a year over that span. It trades at a forward P/E of 15, a modest peer discount. Goldman's target, echoed by Sterne, Agee & Leach, suggests a looming 12-month gain of 30% for the stock.





--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fortune (1-year auto-renewal)


3. Phillips-Van Heusen(PVH_) makes clothing, including dress shirts, neckwear and shoes, under the Calvin Klein , Izod and Tommy Hilfiger brand names.

An inflationary environment will benefit the company, according to Goldman, which expects $15 million of cost synergies in 2011, resulting from expense leverage on market spending and "sourcing gains from larger scale and category expansion at Macy's(M_)."

Goldman values the stock at $85. Roughly 73% of researchers rank it "buy."

2. Apple(AAPL_) sells consumer electronics.


The company's stock returned 53% in 2010, topping the large-cap tech category. Apple is a consensus pick for 2011. Of analysts covering Apple, 48, or 91%, advocate purchasing its shares and five recommend holding. None say to sell. Piper Jaffray has the highest price target, expecting a gain of 36% to $438. Goldman believes, contrary to some analysts, that the gross margin has bottomed and could climb in the near-term. Its $430 target is equivalent to 20-times its 2011 earnings per share estimate of $21.46.

1. Starbucks(SBUX_) is Goldman's favorite pick within a restaurant industry that it believes has "the best supply/demand dynamics in 25 years."

The number of U.S. restaurants has fallen to 1986 levels, following recession closings. According to Goldman, Starbucks is due to return 36% in 2011 on multiple expansion and steady earnings growth.

The bank thinks the Street is underestimating same-store sales growth for the coffee chain, forecasting a 7% to 8% uptick in 2011. Emerging market expansion will add fuel to the fire.
