Target stock price (averages with no growth) $37.75
Target stock price (manual assumptions) $35.8

Confident Investor comments: At this price and at this time, I do not think that a Confident Investor can confidently invest in this stock. HP is a Dow 30 company but it has some incredibly tough competitors and has not grown effectively even though it is considered to be in a growth market.

Confident Investor comments: Cisco is a relatively recent addition to the Dow 30 and it doesn’t suffer from the lack of performance that claims many other Dow 30 companies. At this time, I think that a Confident Investor can cautiously invest in this stock as long as the price is correct. Most of the fundamentals of this company are good but there are some concerns.

Confident Investor comments: At this price and at this time, I do not think that a Confident Investor can confidently invest in this Dow 30 stock. It is not possible to confidently invest in a company that is not currently profitable.
