NEW YORK, July 1, 2004 (PRIMEZONE) -- SageTrade (http://www.sagetrade.com), an innovative investment service that delivered a 250+% tracked return in 2003, announced today that it has released a report that highlights three large cap bargain stocks. The report details the future growth of these companies and their relative valuation when compared with competitors and key indexes.
AU Optronics (NYSE:AUO) -- Here is a stock that is recently down almost 40% off its highs on concerns of over-supply of flat panels into the third quarter. Yet, investors fail to realize the company has grown revenue for 18 straight months and is probably on track for another record quarter. Moreover, in Q1 flat panels have surpassed CRT monitors as the most popular monitor in the U.S on units solid and growth is only just beginning. With huge growth expected in the flat panel TV market over the next 2 years, AU Optronics trades at a bargain valuation and we feel it's a solid buy.
AirTran Holdings (NYSE:AAI) -- With oil prices off of their highs, investors can now think about investing in the Airline sector again. We examined the fundamentals of several different discount carriers and decided that AirTran offered the best value moving forward. With a consistent track record of profitability and solid revenue growth, we feel this stock is very compelling at current levels. AirTran also has done its part to stay on the cutting edge being the launch airline for XM Satellite radio.
Friedman, Billings and Ramsey Group (NYSE:FBR) -- We are impressed by this stock's 7% dividend and investigate the likelihood of revenue growth over the next 2 years in a rising interest rate climate. Will growth in their brokerage and investment banking offset any lost revenue from their mortgage backed security markets? We also compare the growth of FBR to other banks and comparable brokerages and determine its fair value.
