Company: Sealed Air Corp.
Ticker: SEE
Price: $44.97
Price Target: $63.00
Upside to Target: 40.1%
Comment: "Given the significant cash flow generation SEE should realize over the next 12-24 months (that we expect to be returned to shareholders--with as much as 15-19pct of the mkt cap likely returned from now through 2016) as well as an acceleration in some of their volumes (specifically in meat packaging) and the raw material tailwinds, we believe SEE has the potential to drive solidly higher over the next 12 months."

Company: Tesla Motors
Ticker: TSLA
Price: $231.99
Price Target: $325.00
Upside to Target: 40.1%
Comment: "Tesla has significant competitive advantages that we believe are sustainable. We see major battery cost reductions as highly probable and leading to near costparity to internal combustion veh’s by 2017, while still offering ~$2k per year in fuel savings to the customer, which can either drop to margin or be used to drive share."
Gaming and Lodging

Price: $71.69
Price Target: $90.00

Company: CBS Corporation
Ticker: CBS
Price: $50.05
Price Target: $75.00
Upside to Target: 49.9%
Comment: "We are bullish on CBS given (1) superior positioning, given limited exposure to generalist cable networks; (2) our sanguine view on advertising, where we think modest growth is likely in 2H15 offsetting the declines in 1h15, and where we do not see a material long term shift from TV to digital; (3) the significant growth opportunity in content licensing, driven by CBS' strong slate of drama content; and (4) an undemanding valuation, where the 12m forward PE multiple is at the low end of the recent trading range."

Company: Costco
Ticker: COST
Price: $161.09
Price Target: $165.00
Upside to Target: 2.4%
Comment: "COST remains one of the few conventional retailers that continues to deliver positive traffic, market share gains, and a validated model for international expansion. Furthermore, their business model appears largely shielded from the margin erosion from e-commerce impacting most retailers."

Company: MetLife, Inc.
Ticker: MET
Price: $50.86
Price Target: $58
Upside to Target: 14.0%
Comment: "While initial reaction on shares has been negative, we see the optionality for shareholders as neutral to positive because 1) Given MET’s current level of capital returns, adverse consequence of a stress test is not very high, 2) While it is not easy for MET to win, the positive impact from a favorable ruling on MET and on the capital framework would be substantial, and 3) The bold move from MET could imply further significant action from management that would be positive for shareholders."
