There's nothing better for an investor than investing in a monopoly, and 9-1-1-infrastructure systems and services company, Intrado (TRDO Quote), nearly has one, said Jim Cramer Tuesday on his "Mad Money" TV show.
Enter Intrado
Intrado ensures that calls placed to 9-1-1 are routed to the correct police or fire station and that the emergency responder has the correct address the moment the call is received. Cramer said the company has a 95% market share for land lines -- close enough to be called a monopoly. However, most of the company's growth has been coming from the integration of cell phones into 9-1-1 systems. There Intrado "only" has 60% market share. Going forward, Cramer said VoIP services such as Skype and Vonage will need to be integrated into 9-1-1 systems, and "Intrado's getting that business, too." The fundamentals are strong, too. In its most recent quarter, Intrado beat expectations and raised guidance, said Cramer. The bonus for Cramer is that Roy Disney owns Intrado shares through a trust, which bought an additional 40,000 shares last week, he said. Cramer added that he usually makes money investing in stocks that Roy Disney owns. "My experience with Roy Disney is he's a good guy ... who will make things happen."Finding Your Shirt
Cramer is bullish on Gildan Activewear (GIL Quote), a wholesale supplier of T-shirts, fleeces and polo shirts with about a 36% U.S. market share, because of the company's new plan to move into retail, where margins are higher. Gildan's gross margin as a wholesaler is about 30.9%, said Cramer. Retail suppliers tend to have significantly higher gross margins, he said. For example, Nike (NKE Quote) has a gross margin of about 44.7%, he said. Tommy Hilfiger (TOM Quote) has a gross margin of about 46.2%, and Ralph Lauren (RL Quote) has a gross margin of about 51.9%, according to Cramer.- Loading Comments...
