This month's stocks are a couple of repeats from June and July, which I thought of as deserving a larger portion of my portfolio...
Qihoo 360 (QIHU)
Positives:
China. Mobile. Search. A competitor/complimentary-investment of Baidu.
Explosive revenue (108%) and earnings (372%!) growth.
$378M cash, $0 debt.
Negatives:
Ridiculous 165 P/E, though forward P/E of 40 is reasonable.
Modest operating (15%) and profit (14%) margins.
Stratasys (SSYS)
Positives:
116% revenue growth.
$148M cash, $0 debt.
42% of shares owned by insiders.
Negatives:
No earnings as of yet; forward P/E of 42.
Negative cash flows.
Negative profit margin (-5%) and ROE (-2%).
Here's my current portfolio (growth, dividend, and speculative). As always, I believe in all of these stocks - until I sell them.
