symbol name last price % change open
  • +
  • ANF
    Abercrombie & Fit
  • $39.73
  • -0.95%
  • $39.90

The company's stock could top $100 within a year, climbing by a third. Abercrombie's new Gilly Hicks lingerie chain looks promising, joining the hugely popular Hollister.

People owning ANF also tend to own: AMGNBBBBCWCOELOSHARIIFMER

  • CELG
    Celgene Corporati
  • $54.91
  • +0.66%
  • $54.42

Celgene's earnings-growth pace could keep rising -- to 50% -- on more drug triumphs, as could the high (some say too high) 24 multiple on its stock. But at 54 now, it may be worth 20% more.

  • ZURN.VX
    Zurich Finl Svcs
  • $223.50
  • -1.37%
  • $225.60

If Zurich Financial Services stays on course to deliver strong earnings and high returns on equity, its shares, now 317 Swiss francs, could rally 25% or more.

    Marvell Technolog
  • $15.28
  • +0.07%
  • $15.00

Marvell shares could double in two years if it fixes its options mess, controls costs and gets a 3G-capable chip to market.

  • DIS
    Walt Disney-disne
  • $30.01
  • -0.66%
  • $30.07

For the price of a Disney share, too, an investor effectively buys access to a braintrust probably unrivaled in American business. Apple's Steve Jobs, a Pixar founder, is Disney's largest shareholder, with 7% of the float. Fellow owner Warren Buffett no doubt picks up the phone for Iger. Procter & Gamble's former CEO, John Pepper, with all the consumer-product knowledge one could want, chairs Disney's board.

  • CROX
    Crocs
  • $5.45
  • -1.45%
  • $5.53

We're neutral now, and think investors should cover their short positions and take a walk. The stock sells today for only nine times analysts' '08 earnings estimate of around $2.70 a share, and the shoes are still the rage among soccer moms and nurses, suggesting the stock might not drop much lower from here, at least in the near term.

  • WYE
  • $0.00
  • 0.00%
  • $N/A

In her estimation, Wyeth's stock price suggests that investors do not appreciate the value of these assets. At $40, Rubin contends, investors are effectively "getting the pipeline for free." Her analysis suggests that Wyeth's vaccines, biologics (biotechnology drugs) and OTC assets are worth about $35, or about 90% of the stock price. By 2012, Rubin expects biologics and vaccines to account for about 70% of Wyeth's earnings. She raised her investment rating on the stock to Overweight from Equal Weight, and upped her one-year price target to $48 from $46.
