Honda makes a quality product

Honda is trading at its lowest earnings multiple in a decade. The stock looks like a buy, but investors would be wise to wait for signs of an industry revival before scooping it up.

Q: Turning to the overseas car makers, how do things look for Honda [HMC] and Toyota [TM]? Although their stocks have been hit, they've held up better than their U.S. counterparts.

A: Honda and Toyota remain in a very advantageous position. Honda looks particularly good because it has almost no exposure to the traditional light-truck business like Toyota does. And Honda has remained very competitive in existing internal-combustion engine technology and every form of emerging alternative propulsion. Honda has a strong fuel-cell research program, a very strong hybrid program and a very strong electric program. It can even make diesel engines. So whichever way the world goes, this company is positioned to take advantage of that growth. Also, Honda has a global infrastructure and an excellent balance sheet, and it is probably the best-positioned auto company in the world right now.

Good cars. GREAT Future!

From a recent Mad Money show: "Honda's done a lot of good things, but in the end it's still an auto company. I'd rather see you buy this at its 52-week low."

With a leaner GM and a rejuvenated Ford, I'm not sold on the idea that Honda will retain its market share, considering their cars are no longer cheaper nor more gas efficient than American rivals.
