High-Growth Investments

Brown & Brown, Inc.

Brown & Brown, Inc. (BRO) is the sixth-largest insurance brokerage in the U.S., and we added it to the High-Growth Investments Buy List in the March Growth Investor Monthly Issue. You may recall that Brown & Brown was founded to help its community better protect their most-valued assets. And, in light of the coronavirus pandemic, the company is offering resources to help individuals and businesses better navigate the risks of the current environment.

Brown & Brown offers live stream informative sessions to discuss the evolving risks of the coronavirus pandemic. On the company’s website, businesses also have access to a slew of resources from checklists for evaluating employee benefits to insurance coverage related to COVID-19 claims. Clearly, Brown & Brown is helping keep its customers informed during these uncertain times.

Brown & Brown’s focus on its customers and support of the local community have added to the company’s success over the past 81 years. It should also play a key role in generating customer loyalty and add to the company’s future success.

For the first quarter, analysts’ earnings forecasts have remained fairly steady. Brown & Brown is expected to report earnings of $0.46 per share, or 12.2% annual earnings growth. And full-year 2020 earnings forecasts have actually been revised higher in the past two months. BRO is a Conservative buy below $39.

SOM Technicals:

3-27-20:  Closed at 35.93. Trade pressures are rising into the neutral zone. Volumes are bullish. Need a close above 36.10 to start a new move up.

4-4-20: Closed at 33.41. Trade pressures are down. Volumes are bearish. The next target down is the 30.70 prior low.

 

Copart, Inc.

Copart, Inc. (CPRT) is our leading online auctioneer for vehicles, with more than 200 pick-up locations in 11 countries around the world. In 2019, Copart had more than two million unique international visitors to its sites. And, given the “social distancing” and “stay-at-home” policies, even more folks may be turning to Copart’s online options if they’re in need of a vehicle.

All of Copart’s auctions are conducted online, so there hasn’t been any adjustments to the company’s normal auction schedules. But, to keep up with demand and maintain its employees and customers’ safety, Copart encourages users to download its mobile app. The app will allow customers to pay for their vehicle online, schedule vehicle pickups, acquire vehicle titles and review vehicle condition reports.

Since Copart’s operations are continuing fairly normally, there should be little impact to the company’s top and bottom lines. For the company’s third quarter in fiscal year 2020, the consensus estimate calls for earnings of $0.74 per share on $606.85 million in revenue. That represents 12.1% annual earnings growth and 9.7% annual revenue growth. CPRT is a Moderately Aggressive buy below $77.

Invitation Homes, Inc.

Invitation Homes, Inc. (INVH) offers quality single-family rental homes in 17 popular U.S. cities, including Chicago, Denver, Las Vegas, Orlando, Phoenix, Seattle and Tampa. The company currently has more than 80,000 homes in its portfolio, with convenient locations to jobs and high-quality school districts.

The low mortgage rate environment has made home ownership attractive to many Americans. But others are still hesitant to buy, especially given the uncertainty surrounding the coronavirus outbreak in the U.S. and questions about when the country will be operating at normal levels again. As a result, home rentals remain in strong demand right now.

Analysts are foreseeing some impact to Invitation Homes business and have lowered earnings forecasts for the first quarter in the past month. But the company is still expected to report earnings of $0.05 per share and sales of $444.6 million, or 25% annual earnings growth and 2.1% annual sales growth.

I should add that Invitation Homes also continues to reward its shareholders. In January, the company increased its quarterly dividend by 15%. The stock currently has a 3.7% dividend yield. So, I expect yield-hungry investors to pour into INVH in the coming weeks. INVH is a Conservative buy below $22.

ResMed, Inc.

ResMed, Inc. (RMD) was also one of our new buys in the March Growth Investor Monthly Issue. ResMed, which is short for Respiratory Medicine, manufactures CPAP masks, machines and other life support ventilators for in-home use. With operations in more than 120 countries around the world, the company strives to help individuals with chronic respiratory diseases.

Given that the individuals with respiratory diseases are more at-risk to the coronavirus, it’s not too surprising that ResMed has stepped up to help combat the disease. The company has more than 7,500 employees around the world collaborating with hospitals, physicians, health authorities and governments. Respiratory equipment and ventilators have been in top demand.

ResMed has also stated that it will double—possibly triple—its production of ventilators, as well as produce 10 times more ventilation masks. These efforts will go a long way to helping treat patients with the coronavirus throughout the world.

The boost in production should also add to the company’s top and bottom lines. For the first quarter, the analyst community is looking for earnings of $1.05 per share, or 18% annual earnings growth, and revenue of $726.65 million in revenue. Analysts have also upped earnings forecasts over the past two months. RMD is a Conservative buy below $151.

S&P Global mines through more than 135 billion data points from around the world. Its analysts and systems process the data to uncover critical information and to provide strategic analysis.
