The Advisory Board Company (ABCO)

CAPS Rating:
**

The Company provides best practices research, decision support tools and analysis to the health care industry in the United States.

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.

Very hidden stock that I found just by accident but they seem poised to really monopolize what is a very niche-market, but it will allow them to maintain a competitive advantage and with almost no required capital investment their profit margins will be through the roof.

While the Corporate Executive Board gets all the attention, their sister company ABC is hanging in there as well. With the same business model, ABC operates in the always-growing healthcare arena. Hidden Gems has touted a number of healthcare support companies in their Watchlist and Tiny Gems section, but ABC has avoided their attention so far. I like this company better than some of the tiny gems picks. Plus, I work at the company.

Beat this Stock

Clicking "Beat this Stock!" will bring you to a company with a higher rating than the one you're currently viewing.

Even though CAPS shows only one- to five-star rankings, behind the scenes, all companies in CAPS have a distinct numerical ranking. In other words, there is a No. 1 stock in CAPS and a worst-ranked stock in CAPS. When you arrive at the top-ranked stock, clicking "Beat this Stock!" will cause the page to refresh.

That is, until there is a new No. 1 stock!
