Agilent Technologies, Inc. (A)

CAPS Rating:
***

A premier measurement company providing core bio-analytical and electronic measurement solutions to the communications, electronics, life sciences and chemical analysis industries.

Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other members to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

Executive leadership seems focused on cost control/cash not growth. Couple the two and Agilent would outperform.

A lot of my recent reading and studying went into ROIC and particularly free cash flow based variations. Agilent management has reoriented the business around this metric, including compensation. Results in the past few years improved accordingly, and A shareholders should continue to benefit from this management approach as well as market conditions favorable to companies in measurement equipment.

11/14/08, 8:30 AM Price will be supported by a sinking S&P against a steady A as it reports pretty good earnings with no big suprises on the expectations for next quarter.

This hit a 52 week low today.

This looks like a quality company and seems pretty cheap.

Agilent's CEO is aggressive and will squeeze success out of this company if it kills him.
