Top 5 Value Stocks To Watch For 2019

tags:CAG,SIGM,GTXI,VII,STZ,

Back in late October, we said it was time to buy the dip in consumer robotics giant iRobot (IRBT). The stock had been unfairly beaten up on unfounded concerns that competitors would eat market share, dilute growth prospects, and diminish the overall value of the company. Despite those competitive concerns, iRobot's consistently robust top and bottom line growth numbers implied that its growth narrative was unimpeded by competition and further implied that the addressable consumer robotics market was big enough to accommodate multiple high-growth players. Consequently, IRBT was a big growth stock trading at a big discount.

Since then, IRBT stock has rallied 30%, a broad outperformance of the S&P 500 (up just 9% in that time frame). Although the stock is approaching our former fair value estimate on the stock of $90, we believe recent trends indicate that IRBT is running away with the burgeoning consumer robotics market more than we initially anticipated. We are upping our fair value estimate to $96, and believe this stock will get a big boost soon from strong Q4 numbers.

Top 5 Value Stocks To Watch For 2019: Sigma Designs, Inc.(SIGM)

Advisors' Opinion:

• [By Steve Symington]

  Data source: Silicon Laboratories.

  What happened with Silicon Labs this quarter? Revenue was above the high end of guidance provided in late January, which called for a range of $196 million to $202 million. On an adjusted (non-GAAP) basis, which excludes items like equity compensation and acquisition costs, net income was $38.3 million, or $0.87 per share -- also above guidance for adjusted earnings per share of between $0.73 and $0.79. IoT revenue grew 17% year over year to $103 million. Infrastructure revenue jumped 37% year over year to $49 million. Broadcast revenue declined 3% to $36 million. Access revenue fell 6% to $17 million. Subsequent to the end of the quarter, on April 18, 2018, Silicon Labs closed its $240 million acquisition of Sigma Designs' (NASDAQ:SIGM) Z-Wave business. Silicon Labs had initially agreed to acquire all of Sigma Designs this past December for $282 million, but amended the deal last quarter to include only its Z-Wave business after certain closing conditions weren't met. In any case, the purchase significantly expands Silicon Labs' position in mesh networking for smart homes. What management had to say
