Over on CAPS, 714 of the 742 members who have rated Universal -- some 96% -- believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward. These bulls include knnryerye and All-Star TMFBreakerTAllan, who is ranked in the top 3% of our community.
In late April, knnryerye sheds some light-emitting diodes on the situation:
How many people have LCD or Plasma TV's? How many people have cell phones and smart phones? How many laptops and desktops are owned? Now add all those devices together and figure how many of those are replaced each year. OLED will be the next LCD and then some.
In an earlier pitch, TMFBreakerTAllan expands on Universal's intensely bright future:
OLED technology is the next standard for video screens from cell phones to laptops due to size and energy requirements. As tech goes more mobile, OLED tech will help pave the way to ever more powerful and useful devices. And beyond that, as the world goes green, OLED lighting will be a solution to energy efficiency in long lived and adjustable (intensity and color) lighting solutions. Still a high risk stock with no immediate catalysts to produce serious revenues from licensing the technology and selling the chemicals.
