The Oak Mark Fund, managed by Bill Nygren along with Kevin Grant, has reported updates to the company's stock portfolio for the third quarter, consisting of 23 transactions:
|Adds to Current Shares
|New Buys
|Reductions to Current Shares
|Sold Out
Nygren completely disposed of all his shares of two companies. Alcohol beverage company, Diageo Plc (NYSE:DEO)'s strong performance and surge in value during the quarter led to its demise from the fund, while electronics retailer, Best Buy Co. Inc. (NYSE:BBY) produced disappointing business performance, as well as a lack of correspondence from its management when the company's founder expressed an interest in purchasing the entire company, actions that led Nygren to believe were not in the shareholders' best interest.
On the other hand, Oak Mark introduced three companies to its portfolio: United Health Group Inc. (NYSE:UNH), Principal Financial Group (NASDAQ:PFG) and Cummins Inc. (NYSE:CMI). The purchase of Cummins Inc. stock made the most impact to the portfolio in the third quarter.
Currently, there are 56 stocks managed in The Oak Mark Fund, a total value of $6.3 billion, and a quarter-over-quarter turnover rate of 9 percent. The fund produced an average total return of 17.25 percent in the last year, as of Oct. 31 (oakmark.com). In three months, its average total return was 5.35 percent.
The financial sector makes up the largest portion of the portfolio, with consumer services and industrials trailing behind it in second and third place. (See sector weighting here)
Nygren's top holdings are: JP Morgan Chase & Co. (NYSE:JPM), Bank of America Corp. (NYSE:BAC), Capital One Financial Corp. (NYSE:COF) and Comcast Corp. (NASDAQ:CMCSA).
Below are descriptions of Nygrens' three new companies, along with commentary about the stocks from The Oak Mark Fund's third quarter letter to shareholders.
UnitedHealth Group Inc. (NYSE:UNH)
With a market cap of $55.69 billion, Minnesota-based UnitedHealth Group is a provider or healthcare products and services, such as health care coverage and technology-enabled health services.
It is currently trading at $54.49 per share, its stock up for this afternoon's trading. Its dividend yield is 1.6 percent, and its dividend payout ratio is 0.16.
Nygren and Grant expect UnitedHealth to earn over $5 per share this year, more than double its earnings from seven years ago, at $2.48 per share in 2005, continuing the flourishing trend line it maintains now.
In the shareholder letter, they stated:
"Managed-care companies have fallen to below-average multiples because investors fear that health care reform will hurt these businesses significantly. We believe that fear is misplaced. We think the government needs companies like UNH because using the existing managed-care networks is far less expensive than building a new one, and UNH's breadth should allow it to thrive in most scenarios. UNH revenues grow with medical costs, supplemented by market share gains and an aging population that requires more spending on health care."
UnitedHealth ranks high in Profitability & Growth at 8 out of 10 on GuruFocus. It has a Business Predictability rank of 3.5 stars and a Financial Strength of 7 out of 10.

Principal Financial Group (NASDAQ:PFG)
Headquartered in Des Moines, Ia., Principal Financial is financial services provider offering retirement services, insurance solutions and asset management to its clients. It was founded in 1879, a member of the FORTUNE 500, and has offices in Asia, Australia, Europe and Latin America, besides the U.S.
With its price close to a one-year high, Principal Financial is trading at $26.97.
Nygren and Grant says the stock is priced like a "less attractive insurer." They also believe that investors right now do not necessarily favor financial services stocks, which urged the two to take full advantage. In the shareholder letter, they stated:
"Today, the stock sells at about 85% of expected year-end book value and at less than 9x expected 2013 earnings. Assets under management have been growing nicely; inflows alone account for a mid-single-digit growth rate. Because of Principal's strength in asset accumulation in emerging markets, we believe that growth rate is sustainable."
PFG data by GuruFocus.com
Since 2009, Principal Financials' tangibles book per share value has displayed a positive trend line. Additionally, its dividend yield has increased to three percent from the company repurchasing its shares each year.
Principal Financial is ranked one star in Business Predictability, and 6 out 10 in both Financial Strength and Profitability and Growth.

Cummins Inc. (NYSE:CMI)
As a power company, Cummins Inc. manufactures, distributes and services engines and related technologies, including fuel systems, controls, air handling, filtration, emission solutions and electrical power generation systems.
It is currently trading at $98.32 per share, with its stock down almost two percent today.
Nygren and Grant view Cummins as a leader in emissions controls, especially since countries are mandating tighter emissions standards in upcoming years. The managers observed that the company earned just over $9 per share last year, its stock reaching a three-year high of $130 in March, before tumbling back down in July to about $82.
CMI data by GuruFocus.com
In the shareholder letter, Nygren and Grant explained:
"Investors became increasingly concerned about the possibility of decreasing global growth… We believe the decline was an overreaction. Cummins now sells at about 9x expected current-year earnings. Like many of our holdings, we expect Cummins to achieve mid-single-digit revenue growth over the economic cycle, and expect per-share growth to be higher as excess cash flow is devoted to share repurchase."
Cummins' revenue growth has been extraordinary, expanding at a rate of 9.2 percent in the last 10 years, 7.7 percent in the last five years, and 17.8 percent in the last 12 months. Its five-year earnings per share growth rate sits confidently at 23.92 percent.
GuruFocus ranks Cummins four stars in Business Predictability, and 9 out of 10 in both Financial Strength and Profitability and Growth.

Slideshow: The Evolution of Robots, Part 1
4 comments
Somehow, robot stories, articles, feats, and photos always come to the fore. For me, they're right up there with things NASA. What follows are our beloved robots, from new to now ancient, and their raisons d'être. While I'm trying to stick to those that are important on an electronics basis, I couldn't resist throwing in a few Hollywood examples as well.
Why a two-part series? There were just too many examples to be included, so I've divided the subject matter up into recent robots (Part 1 for those announced just this year) and really ancient robots (Part 2). The only exception is the final slide in Part 1 from Max Maxfield's toy box. That could have fit in the next segment.
Just click on the link in each image's title for more information.
When I first saw this one, it looked like a cross between a Volkswagen engine, a rabbit, and a Costa-Rican bug, but OK...
Here's the only info available to date:
- WildCat is a four-legged robot being developed to run fast on all types of terrain. So far WildCat has run at about 16 mph on flat terrain using bounding and galloping gaits. The video shows WildCat's best performance so far. WildCat is being developed by Boston Dynamics with funding from DARPA's M3 program. For more information about WildCat visit our website at www.BostonDynamics.com.
Here's one that combines two of my favorite subjects:
This one is an example of a more practical and useful robot design:
Really... Is there more to say?

A closure is any subroutine that needs to grab its environment because it's going out of scope, and may or may not be named.
An anonymous subroutine is a coderef, and may or may not be a closure.
I've got code to demonstrate all four types of subroutines (named vs anonymous, closure vs not) at Monks somewhere.
my @DoW = qw(Sun Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri Sat);
sub DoW {
my $n = shift;
die unless $n == int($n) and $n >= 0 and $n
That's definitely a closure and yet it's a named subroutine.

Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers has played down Joe Cole's injury after the playmaker was substituted during the Reds' 1-0 Europa League third qualifying round victory over Gomel.
Cole, who spent last season on loan at Lille, lasted just 23 minutes before he was replaced by 17-year-old Raheem Sterling at the Central Stadion in Belarus.
"Joe just felt his hamstring a little bit," Rodgers said. "I don't think it is totally pulled and it was just a little bit of tightness so we had to take him off.
"It disrupted our plans a little bit but it was better to have him come off rather than risk injury."
Glen Johnson was replaced by Martin Kelly just one minute into the start of the second period, but Rodgers said that was a tactical move and not forced upon him.
"Glen was only scheduled to play 45 minutes anyway so he was taken off as planned," he added.
Stewart Downing's second half strike meant Rodgers' first competitive game in charge of Liverpool ended with victory, and the former Swansea boss was pleased with what he saw.
"It will take time until Liverpool start playing the way Swansea did last season (tactically)," he said. "Actually the way you play depends on the players you have.
"As for today I saw two things which were very important for me, I saw desire and commitment. I am very grateful to my players for a good game.
"Obviously it was a serious test of the players' fitness and I am really happy with the result.
"This was my first competitive game in charge of Liverpool and for me it didn't really matter whether the game was played in Belarus or Brazil as I am really honoured to manage this side."
And the Ulsterman was impressed with Gomel, who on another day could have emerged victorious after wasting plenty of chances in front of goal.
Rodgers continued: "This game was a great test for us at this point of the season. Today we saw that Gomel is a very good club which is already into the season.
"Their tactical idea was to defend and counter-attack so it was difficult for us to find the open spaces in the first half but at half-time I told my players to be patient and that the chances would come.
"After the first 45 minutes I also changed the structure of the midfield and Steven Gerrard started to play a bit lower than the other two central midfielders.
"I am glad that Stewart scored the goal as we put him on that side to come in and shoot. It was a great shot."

Jet dominated that game.
You know why?
They played their game.
Running the ball.
Low scoring, conservative.
DEFENSIVE football.
Whenever Jets play at that pace, they're the best in the NFL and no team can beat them (Except for the Saints or Vikings).
I'm not worried about the Colts at all.
Rivers is quality, and Jackson, Gates, mad WR's.
Joseph Addai is ASS. Colts have no running game.
Revis shut down better WR's than Reggie Wayne, NO PROBLEM...Dallas Clark is good, but so was Antonio Gates. Colts other WR's are pretty much average at best, they just have a great QB.
Peyton's weapons will be put on lock down, and they will not have a running game.
Colts and Chargers offensive are exactly the same, except Chargers had the better offense this year.
Indianapolis 26 ppg/363.1 YPG
San Diego 28 ppg/360.1 YPG
Colts defense?
They finished 24th in the NFL in stopping the run
126.5 yards allowed per game.
Who has the best rushing attack in the league? The Jets.
Colts are actually a weaker rushing team than the Chargers, so running the ball should be easier for the Jets.

POSITIVES: Consistent wideout with deceptive speed. Strong, uses his frame to shield away opponents and makes the difficult reception with defenders draped on him. Displays sharpness running routes, stays low on exit and gets separation. Extends to make the reception.
NEGATIVES: Lacks the second gear and true deep speed. Has been nicked up the past two seasons, which caused him to miss time.
ANALYSIS: A natural wideout who also lends a helping hand on special teams, Hill has the natural abilities to be a second receiver at the next level.
PROJECTION: Middle Second Round
Sounds like he has all the necessary talent..Why hasn't he developed better??
We will see, something has to work on O eventually to make these remaining games not in the garbage tickets.
Hill has some talent despite being a big mouth moron. I'd like them to bring in Deon Butler, whoi I am surprised hasn't been signed anywhere else after missing the final cut in Seattle. That's my arm-chair GM decision for the day.
worst wrs corps in the league.
i'd rather have TO or chad johnson than this JAG
Maybe this is a 1 week signing. Rex wanted to get him to see if he can get some insider info on the 49ers offensive game plan.
sanchez still has no rbs and no wrs.
In 2009 our best WR was Jerricho Cotchery. Then we traded a couple draft picks and Chancey Stucki for Braylon Edwards. I wouldn't be surprised to see something else like this happen again. Just not sure who's looking to make a trade.

Unit of Observation: individual
Universe: In all, Eurobarometer 76.1 interviewed 26,856 citizens in the 27 countries of the European Union after the 2004/2007 enlargement (i.e. including the Accession Countries Romania and Bulgaria). All respondents were residents in the respective country, nationals and non-nationals but EU-citizens, and aged 15 and over. Respondents were expected to have sufficient command of one of the respective national language(s) to answer the questionnaire.
The original data collection was carried out by TNS Opinion and Social on request of the European Commission between September 3 and 18, 2011.
The codebook and setup files for this collection contain characters with diacritical marks used in many European languages.
The documentation and/or setup files may contain references to Turkey, Croatia, the Turkish Cypriot Community, Macedonia, Montenegro, Norway, Switzerland, Iceland, and Liechtenstein however these countries were not participants in this wave of the Eurobarometer surveys. This collection contains no data for Turkey, Croatia, the Turkish Cypriot Community, Macedonia, Montenegro, Norway, Switzerland, Iceland, and Liechtenstein.
Access to GESIS data and documentation, including the GESIS DOI, for Eurobarometer 76.1 can be found through the GESIS Data Catalogue. Additional information on the Eurobarometer Survey Series and the Eurobarometer data can be found at the GESIS Eurobarometer Web site and ZACAT, respectively.
Sample: The basic sample design applied in all states is a multi-stage, random (probability) one. In each country, a number of sampling points were drawn with probability proportional to population size (for a total coverage of the country) and to population density. In order to do so, the sampling points were drawn systematically from each of the "administrative regional units", after stratification by individual unit and type of area. They thus represent the whole territory of the countries surveyed according to the EUROSTAT NUTS II (or equivalent) and according to the distribution of the resident population of the respective nationalities in terms of metropolitan, urban and rural areas. In each of the selected sampling points, a starting address was drawn, at random. Further addresses (every Nth address) were selected by standard "random route" procedures, from the initial address. In each household, the respondent was drawn, at random (following the "closest birthday rule"). All interviews were conducted face-to-face in people's homes and in the appropriate national language. As far as the data capture is concerned, CAPI (Computer Assisted Personal Interview) was used in those countries where this technique was available. Please refer to the Technical Specifications within the ICPSR Codebook for additional sampling information.
Weight: For each country a comparison between the sample and the universe was carried out. The Universe description was derived from Eurostat population data or from national statistics offices. For all countries surveyed, a national weighting procedure, using marginal and intercellular weighting, was carried out based on this Universe description. In all countries, gender, age, region and size of locality were introduced in the iteration procedure. For international weighting (i.e. EU averages), TNS Opinion and Social applies the official population figures as provided by EUROSTAT or national statistic offices. Please refer to the ICPSR Codebook for additional weighting information.
Mode of Data Collection: face-to-face interview
Extent of Processing: ICPSR data undergo a confidentiality review and are altered when necessary to limit the risk of disclosure. ICPSR also routinely creates ready-to-go data files along with setups in the major statistical software formats as well as standard codebooks to accompany the data.
