In this exclusive 3,134 word interview in the Wall Street Transcript, Mr. Dreman picks his current favorites for investors and also details his forecast for the 2019 market and beyond.
“There are a number of sectors that are interesting. There are a lot of good companies in other industries that are really trading at price/earnings ratios that are very low. Oil is a more problematic area at the moment, but Phillips 66 (NYSE:PSX), a major oil refiner is one.
It was spun off at about $25 to Conoco (NYSE:COP) shareholders. It’s now at $96. And it’s trading at 11.2 times earnings, has a 3.33% yield and looks like it should continue to do well. It’s a solidly managed refinery, and we think there’s still a lot of potential there. If oil prices do move up, it will accelerate its current growth rate.
We also like the Canadian banks; most of them are listed on the New York Stock Exchange.”
