GARP Tack Wins For Wells Fargo Fund

When Ann Miletti decides how much to pay for a stock, her analysis doesn't stop at price-earnings ratios. Instead she aims to figure out what someone would pay to take over the entire enterprise. Her team eyeballs ratios such as enterprise value (EV) to operating earnings and EV to sales. They also check out comparable buys and discounted cash flow.And they do it all to each unit if a company owns separate businesses."It is a combination of art and science," said Miletti, manager of Wells Fargo Advantage Common Stock Fund (NASDAQ:STCSX - News)."We try to buy when companies we like are trading at 55% to 60% of their private market value," she added.To ensure that mispricing is just temporary, Miletti ducks firms that have gone fundamentally bad."My intent is not to find companies that will be acquired," Miletti said. "It is to find the right price to buy or sell shares. If we get lucky and a holding later is taken out, that's a bonus."Miletti says her hunt for bargains does not make her a value manager. "We don't see value and growth as opposing styles," she said. "We are simply looking for a reasonable price for the growth rate we want."She says her style is core or GARP, referring to the growth-at-a-reasonable-price approach.On that tack, she has steered the $829 million portfolio to a 35.13% gain this year going into Tuesday.Her midcap growth rivals tracked by Morningstar averaged 32.41%. The S&P 500 was up 20.49%.Over the past 10 years her average annual ret...

Sector Snap: For-profit education providers sink

NEW YORK (AP) -- Shares of for-profit education companies tumbled Wednesday a day after Apollo Group Inc., one of the largest and oldest of the companies, said the Securities and Exchange Commission had launched an "informal inquiry" into its revenue accounting practices, its second SEC probe this year. "We are confident that the SEC's accounting issue is specific to (Apollo)," wrote RBC Capital Markets analyst Robert Wetenhall in a note to investors Wednesday. DeVry Inc., another of the more-established higher education providers, said on its Tuesday evening earnings conference call that it had not been contacted by the SEC and was not concerned. But the rest of the sector will likely be under pressure "until the dust settles."Morgan Stanley and RBC's Wetenhall both downgraded Apollo on Wednesday. Meanwhile, Oppenheimer & Co. upgraded DeVry to "Outperform" from "Perform" after its strong earnings report Tuesday.DeVry shares rose $2.37, or 4.3 percent, to $57.25 in afternoon trading, bucking the general sector trend.Apollo shares tumbled $12.64, or 17 percent, to $60.33.SEC inquiries often end without finding harm done by the company. Still, the probe comes at a time when the Department of Education is keeping an eye on the sector at large. In a Congressional hearing earlier this month, Mary Mitchelson, an inspector general of the Education Department, described investigations of different schools' attendance-tracking and financial aid practices. She said the government would continue to pursue cases of "diploma mills" and eligibility exams.In February, a separate division of the SEC said it was looking into Apollo's revenue recognition practices. Nearly all of revenue of Apollo, which owns the University of Phoenix, comes from student tuition. Federal student loans from the government ...
