IGT - Morningstar likes International Game Technology

International Game Technology

IGT designs and manufactures computerized gaming equipment (primarily slot machines), network systems, and licensing and services for the casino gaming industry. North American operations contributed 77% of consolidated revenue in fiscal 2007.

What Gives It an Edge: Morningstar analyst Bradley Meeks believes International Game Technology benefits from a wide economic moat, as evidenced by its 70% share of the slot machine industry. IGT derives its advantages from its product-development capabilities (spending nearly 4 times more than its next competitor), and significant barriers to entry in the industry, including time-consuming and costly local and federal gaming regulatory requirements, a wealth of patents, and significant economies of scale. Further making Meeks’ case for a wide economic moat, IGT is extremely profitable with operating margins in the mid-30% range, and the firm converts an average of 18% of revenues into free cash flow.

Friday was Bargin Day

I watched the market slide lower and lower Friday. I made two purchases in the last 30 minutes. I was very happy with the lower prices with my purchases. We need to watch the market Monday and see if we get a correction. Many investors are buying airline stocks due to the low prices. This is a short play that the investors will sell once the gas bubble breaks and the airline stocks correct. If you get into this play make sure to set your sell orders for a quick correction in the airline stock. These are volatile stocks so be careful. EP was beaten down, it is a buy at a lower price.

Market will be slow Friday - Holiday weekend will lead to slow down -

Look for bargins Friday. Look in Coal and Natural Gas stocks. EP is still a hot buy.

Have a great holiday weekend!!!
