Alliance Imaging, Inc. (AIQ)

CAPS Rating:
*

The Company is a provider of shared-service and fixed-site diagnostic imaging services, based upon annual revenue and number of diagnostic imaging systems deployed.

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.

Avatar SwingLong (89.24) Submitted: 7/31/08 12:56 AM : Underperform Start Price: $9.20 AIQ Score: -21.45

I wanted to diversify into the health care sector on the short side (my outlook is slightly underperform), so I started screening until I found this dud. Here's the comparison:

AIQ vs Industry (Medical Labs and Research)
P/E: 33.81 v 28
ROE: N/A v 13.7%
Div Yield: N/A v 0.58%
LT Debt/Eq: 94.01(!!!) v 2.92
Net Prof Margin: 2.3% v 6.7%

The only thing this company seems to have going for it is decent cash flow.

On the TA side, AIQ just hit a price above its upper Bollinger band, Williams %R is showing "oversold," as did the slow stochastic indicator recently. The last time these 3 signals occurred (mid June), the price dipped about a point in 3 weeks' time; thus, I think this is a good entry point.

I like the below $10 price and its potential for a good return.

Ready for a typical 8-10% BOUNCE.

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!
