Paradigm Portfolio Returns
|
|
Three quarter of the stocks are trading in positive territory since entering the portfolio. There is a wide range of returns in individual companies, though, since the Paradigm Portfolio was started at the beginning of 2013.
|
|
The best gainer by far is Solar City, more than tripling in price since the new year. Though SolarCity has given up about 15% of its gains from peaks back in May, investors still believe this innovative energy stock will dominate the growing solar installation market. Trimble has had the largest loss, down 56%. Despite a descent earnings report released the end of March, future guidance by the company was disappointing, with earnings per share projected to be half of what analysts were expecting for the second quarter of 2013.

|
One company is being added to the Paradigm Portfolio, and one is being removed. Entering the portfolio is IXYS Corporation (IXYS). This mid-size Silicon Valley based company develops products that convert power into useable electricity. Though it manufactures many products, IXYS has a strong presence in supplying power conversion electronics to the wind and solar industries. Despite the fact that IXYS has a high P/E, it is still considered undervalued by the Roen Financial Report.
|
|
GT Advanced Technologies (GTAT) is being removed from the portfolio, after posting a nice 30% gain since its entry at the beginning of 2013. Its negative free cash flow is concerning, as is its drop to negative earnings in the past two quarters. It also has relatively high debt, and is considered overvalued by the Roen Financial Report.
