Buy Lexmark International --$28.80
Lexmark International Inc. (NYSE-LXK)
Valuation-$63.99
Price May 24, 2011-$28.80
OMG, another NYSE listed pick!
When you can find high quality stocks on the NYSE trading at less than 50% of our valuation formula, you gotta buy them.
LXK has disappointed analysts with non-growth in earnings, causing it to fall to this 52 weeks low . Sales in the March quarter were down 1% at $1.034 billion and EPS was $1.14 versus $1.35 last year (both non-GAAP numbers). Guidance for Q2 was tepid also at about $1.00 per share in earnings versus $1.23 last year.
Never mind about these numbers. LXK is still looking to make over $4.00 per share in earnings this year and is trading at just over 7 times earnings. Its market cap is $2.4 billion, well within the affordability of PE firms and lots of other strategic buyers.
LXK also has about $8 per share in net cash-over 25% of its market cap. We would not be surprised to see a buyout in the future if it stays at these price levels.
Average trading volume is over 1 million shares a day.
