AES, Seagate Technology, Others Liked by Mills, Barron's Says
New York, May 1 (Bloomberg) -- AES Corp., Seagate Technology Inc., Newell Rubbermaid Inc., Santa Fe International Corp., Synopsis Inc. and Republic Services Inc. are among the stocks liked by Karl Mills, strategist for fund manager Jurika & Voyles LP, Barron's reported. Mills picked AES because the owner of independent electrical-generating facilities has innovative top management that shoots for 15 percent returns in new projects, while Seagate Technology, a data storage device maker, is expected to benefit from increasing demand for its product. Newell Rubbermaid makes Mills' stock list because of its strong consumer-goods franchises, good distribution and a record of improving operating efficiencies; Mills likes Synopsis because the maker of software for designing and testing semiconductors will continue to benefit as silicon chips become more pervasive, Barron's said.
In March, Mills was named vice chairman of the Oakland, California-based Jurika & Voyles, focusing on client relationships and investment strategies. (Barron's 5/3 40 www.barrons.com) |
