ABM Industries, Inc. (ABM)

CAPS Rating:
***

The Company and its subsidiaries provide janitorial, parking, security, engineering & lighting services for thousands of commercial, industrial, institutional & retail facilities in hundreds of cities throughout the U.S. and in British Columbia, Canada.

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.

Stock is under accumulation. Earnings growth has been good and is forecast to get better. I think it bottomed out at 18.13 on 1/22/08.

This seems pretty cheap to me for a solid company that pays a decent dividend. Not on my real life buy list, but I'm sure it will outperform at this price (21.13).

This bounced off a 52 week low today.

Seems reasonably cheap. Has some cash and no debt. Has good insider ownership. Probably not a super-star, but should be profitable.

Got nowhere to go but up from here. Industry leader and zero debt. Pays a consistent dividend.

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!
