Continuing an already outstanding track record, Bill Nygren at Oakmark Fund returned 33.68% in the past year. While he believes the market is “modestly undervalued,” he told NBC this week that there were still places with better values within it:
“Where you see risk, whether that’s cyclic risks or technical obsolescence risk, or just the risk that there isn’t a dividend and you’re getting your return through share repurchase instead, we find investors have left those stocks somewhat behind, and that’s where the better values are.”
Within the technology space, he specifically likes: Intel (INTC, Financial), Texas Instruments (TXN, Financial) and Oracle (ORCL, Financial).
“In the technology space we own a lot of the big companies that are buying back stock and that are paying out reasonable dividends,” he said of the stocks.
