3 Stocks That Could Put Tesla's Returns to Shame

Despite the recent struggles Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA)�has faced with the manufacturing of its Model 3, it's hard to ignore the�fact that this has been a fantastic stock to own this decade. Finding stocks that can produce a 1,000% return in less than 10 years is absolutely fantastic for one's portfolio.

It's not an easy task finding these kinds of stocks. For every Tesla, there are numerous stocks that have no shot at that kind of return. So we put the question to three of our Motley Fool investors: What stock do you see having a future that could meet or beat Tesla's performance? Here's why they picked SolarEdge Technologies (NASDAQ:SEDG), A.O. Smith (NYSE:AOS), and Take-Two Interactive (NASDAQ:TTWO).

Person pointing to stock chart with a pen.

The behind-the-scenes investment in solar energy

Tyler Crowe (SolarEdge Technologies): Investing in solar power isn't the slam dunk investment that one might think. Even though the solar industry has been growing by leaps and bounds over the past several years, the economics of solar panel producers and residential installers haven't been great for investors. Pricing pressure and the constant need to reinvest in new technology means margins in these businesses have been razor thin. One part of the solar industry that has done spectacularly well, though, are component suppliers. That's why SolarEdge Technologies' stock is up 273% over the past year and there is a chance that there is still room to run.

SolarEdge doesn't make panels. Rather, it makes the electrical components that make solar power a viable power source such as inverters and power optimizers. The benefit of these kinds of products is that they are panel agnostic -- they can be installed on any manufacturers' panels -- and they improve the economics of an installation, which gives it some pricing power when selling products. This position in the solar value chain has allowed SolarEdge to grow revenue by more than 50% annually while maintaining a gross margin of 29% or higher over the past three years.�

Even though the stock has grown incredibly over the past year, there is still room for it to run. Revenue shows little sign of slowing down, margins are expanding, and the recent ruling that all new homes need to have a solar power installation on them�make a price to earnings ratio of 35 for a stock growing this fast seem more than reasonable. If you want a stock that has a chance to outpace Tesla for a while, take a look at SolarEdge Technologies.�

Building off of a solid foundation

Reuben Gregg Brewer (A.O. Smith Corporation): Tesla has helped to change the way we look at automobiles, with investors jumping aboard the exciting potential electric cars offer. The stock is up 240% over the past five years. Boring old water heater maker A.O. Smith, meanwhile, has seen its stock rise 220% over that span... and it's on much stronger financial ground to keep that run going.

Water heaters may not be as exciting as electric cars in mature markets, but in emerging markets hot water is in high demand and is a lot more affordable than a Tesla automobile. Over the past decade A.O. Smith has grown revenue in China by 21% a year! Now the company is focusing on the equally compelling long-term opportunity in India, where management expects its target customer population to expand by over 250% between 2020 and 2030.� �

AOS Total Long Term Debt (Quarterly) Chart

Data source: AOS Total Long Term Debt (Quarterly) data by YCharts.

That's a great opportunity for A.O. Smith and it shouldn't have any problems supporting the spending to tap it; Long-term debt makes up just 15% of the company's capital structure, with the dollar amount of debt lower than it was a decade ago. Tesla has a huge opportunity in electric cars, but it may not live up to its potential because of its much discussed debt issues. It has four times more long-term debt than it did just three years ago, with long-term debt now accounting for two-thirds of its capital structure. Worse, there's legitimate concern that it won't be able to raise more cash if it needs it. In the end, A.O. Smith has both good growth prospects and a solid financial foundation, a combination that could easily allow it to beat Tesla's stock performance in the future.� � �

A video game stock with home run potential

Travis Hoium (Take-Two Interactive): Video games have become a massive business as games have spread from gaming consoles to computers and mobile devices. The industry is dominated by three companies, Activision Blizzard, Electronic Arts, and Take-Two Interactive. Of the three, Take-Two Interactive is by far the smallest and least developed game-maker, but that's why I think it could be set up for huge returns for investors.�

Until now, Take-Two Interactive has primarily been a console or PC gaming company with titles like Grand Theft Auto and NBA 2K�being its leading revenue drivers. That's limited growth markets like mobile and esports, which are now drawing millions of fans viewing league play.�

Take-Two Interactive acquired Social Point last year to expand its mobile presence and management said the company's games "contributed meaningfully" to net bookings with Dragon City and Monster Legends. Updates to both games are expected in the near future and management has high hopes for this segment. �

On the esports side, Take-Two Interactive launched the NBA 2K league earlier this year to mixed reviews, but it's a toe in the esports water for the company. Activision Blizzard has shown that esports league franchise values can be worth tens of millions of dollars and advertising deals can reach over $100 million in aggregate, so there's a lot of potential. One positive point for NBA 2K league is the 37 million registered users in China, which could make this a league that can go worldwide very quickly.�

Take-Two Interactive isn't as valuable or mature in building out mobile and esports as Activision Blizzard or Electronic Arts, but that's why it could be a home run stock. The company needs a hit like Grand Theft Auto or Red Dead Redemption to take the gaming industry by storm while pushing its business model further into mobile and esports. If it can do that long-term it'll be a big winner for investors.�

The General Electric and Wabtec Merger: What It Means to Investors

Just as promised on its first-quarter earnings call,�General Electric Company (NYSE:GE)�has announced a deal to exit its transportation business as part of a wider plan to unload $20 billion worth of assets. The deal to merge GE transportation with�Westinghouse Air Brake Technologies�(NYSE:WAB), or Wabtec, is somewhat complicated, but in general can be seen as a near-term positive for shareholders. However, it will do little to appease dyed-in-the-wool bears worried about the sustainability of the company's dividend and restructuring prospects. Let's take a look at both sides of the story.

GE has decided to merge GE Transportation with Wabtec. Image source: Getty Images.

Near-term positive for shareholders

Let's start by breaking out who will own what after the merger. As you can see below, existing shareholders will be rewarded with stock, as well as future cash flow and dividends from the new Wabtec. So if you are a GE shareholder, you should have a keen interest in the rationale for the deal because you will be owning stock in Wabtec.`

Entity/Group

After the Merger...

GE shareholders

Receives 40.2% of shares in new Wabtec.

GE Company

Receives 9.9% of shares in new Wabtec and $2.9 billion in cash.

Wabtec shareholders

Retains 49.9% of shares in new Wabtec.

Data source: Wabtec presentations.

In a nutshell, you could look at this deal as a kind of near-term "reward" for long-suffering GE shareholders, as GE's management is returning capital from GE Transportation via stock in the new Wabtec.�

What's more, the deal has been structured in a tax-efficient manner. Specifically, GE Transportation will be first distributed to GE shareholders in a "tax-free spin- or split-off; then immediately merged with Wabtec," according to the deal presentation. Furthermore, the deal structure should accrue a net tax benefit of $1.1 billion to Wabtec.

A good deal for Wabtec

Wabtec's management certainly thinks it got a great deal. Aside from the tax benefit, the merged company is expected to generate $250 million in run-rate synergies by the fourth year after the deal, or around 3.2% of the combined 2017 revenue of GE Transportation and Wabtec. Although this figure is lower than the 5% many analysts assume for mergers, there are a couple of things to consider that suggest Wabtec is onto a good thing.

First, Wabtec's management estimates that the existing company currently trades on a 2019 EV-to-adjusted EBITDA multiple of 14, but the new Wabtec (which will roughly double in size) will trade on a 2019 EV-to-adjusted EBITDA multiple of just 9, after the tax benefits and synergies start to kick in.

Second, it's worth noting that Wabtec is merging with GE Transportation at a cyclical low point. For example, GE Transportation is expected to deliver around 300 locomotives in 2018; that compares with an average of around 670 over the last decade.

Since GE Transportation is only expected to start to rebound from a cyclical low in 2018, even the EV/EBITDA multiple for 2019 is still likely to reflect cyclically�low earnings. In other words, in future years, earnings should rebound strongly -- and, all things being equal, the EV/EBITDA multiple will decline.�

All told, it looks like a good deal for Wabtec.

Why GE bears won't be appeased, much

The bearish case for GE stock, for the most part, focuses on the deterioration in free cash flow (FCF) and the ongoing problems in the power segment. The influx of $2.9 billion in cash from Wabtec won't impress the bears much. Moreover, transportation is a highly cash-generative business for GE, and exiting it will trim FCF generation in the future.

Management has already told investors to expect earnings and, by implication, cash flow to be at the lower end of 2018 guidance -- its most recent guidance implies a $500 million cut in power segment profit, which will be hard to make up elsewhere.

As it stands, GE expects $6 billion to $7 billion in industrial FCF in 2018, which is intended to fund a $4.2 billion dividend payment. However, GE is pre-funding its pension plan to the tune of $6 billion in 2018 by borrowing the same amount. In a sense, GE is covering its 2018 dividend by borrowing money and relying on asset sales. In short, GE needs cash, and many investors may have preferred a deal with a higher cash component rather than the one outlined above.�

The bottom line

An analyst with a glass-half-full approach would see the deal as progress on GE's restructuring plans and note that the cash flow will give the company more leeway to restructure the power segment before a bounce-back in total FCF generation in 2019. Meanwhile, the structure of the deal is a nice way to return capital to GE shareholders.

An analyst with a more pessimistic approach would worry about continued deterioration in the power segment and therefore see the cash from Wabtec as small potatoes compared to what GE could need to realize its restructuring plans while maintaining its current dividend.

All told, if GE can maintain its full-year 2018 cash flow guidance and FCF can improve markedly in 2019, then the Wabtec deal will turn out to have been a smart move. If not, it would represent a missed opportunity to possibly bring in some more much-needed cash. It's too early to tell right now, but what's undeniable is that the GE-Wabtec deal marks progress on GE management's strategic aims, and that can't be seen as anything but a plus.�

Hot Undervalued Stocks To Buy Right Now

tags:TEN,TLT,OLLI,VPV,VTR,Z,

HanesBrands (NYSE: HBI) stock price has come under pressure, reaching 52-week lows in the past week, which has sparked my interest to evaluate the company. HanesBrands reported revenue and earnings in-line with analyst consensus estimates for the third quarter; however, the company provided slightly lower than expected guidance for the fourth quarter which was one of the perceived reasons for the sell-off. In this article, I dive further into the financial statements to evaluate the company's financial health and growth, address investor concerns, and provide my perspective on the company moving forward. In my opinion, and from my findings described in the article below, HanesBrands appears to be undervalued and the stock price is fairly attractive at these levels. I have started adding to a new position in the company at $19 a share, seeing the recent sell-off as a reasonable buying opportunity.
