Saturday, May 4, 3:52 PM Barron's is out with its list of the 500 financially strongest companies as ranked after a rigorous cash and sales analysis. A quick filter on the list shows a good chunk of the names trade with a single-digit price to earnings ratio including Goodyear Tire & Rubber (GT). Despite all the buzz about booming auto sales in the U.S. and China, concerns about growth for Goodyear's products in other regions of the globe have lowered expectations. But with auto sale estimates for full-year being taken higher, Goodyear could see enough consistent revenue growth to justify a higher trading multiple.

Friday, April 19, 10:16 AM Capital One (COF) rises 5.3% following its earnings beat last night. Perhaps exciting investors is management's plan (CC transcript) to aggressively increase share repurchases in 2014, bringing its payout ratio well above industry norms of about 50%.

Friday, April 5, 6:19 PM J.P. Morgan's Thomas Lee notes that several laggards in the first quarters of 2009-12 rebounded in Q2, so he figures select tech stocks look appealing now. Tech's forward P/E ratio is below the market's for the first time in 17 years, Lee says. His most noteworthy call is to buy Apple (AAPL), which slid 16% Q/Q. Some other favorites: BRCM, CHKP, ESRX, MYL, TASR, CHS, F, COF. 14 Comments [Tech, Quick Ideas]

While CapOne has pledged not to "reach" in auto loans, Jefferies can't help noticing loan terms getting longer, subprime originations growing strong, and collateral values at risk of sliding faster than usual.
