Ameron International Corp (AMN)

CAPS Rating:
****

Engaged in manufacturing and had expanded its product lines to include not only concrete and steel pipe but also high-performance protective coatings, ready-mix concrete, aggregates and fiberglass pipe and fittings.

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.

Barron's had a small blurb on it which spurred me to add it to my CAPS portfolio. The company is...drum roll pleas...More

I came across a very intriguing stock this weekend. I know that I have read about this company in the past, but with so many stocks and so little time it fell off of my radar screen. Barron's had a small blurb on it which spurred me to add it to my CAPS portfolio. The company is...drum roll please...Ameron International (AMN).

Ameron is not as cheap as it was earlier this year when it was in the 80s, but the recent market weakness has caused it to pull back a little. Here we have a company that is involved in a number of hot sectors. It manufacturers fiberglass and concrete pipe for the oil / gas, chemical, and wastewater industries (love it), PVC liner that protects pipelines from corrosion (love it...though plastics are getting more expensive which could hurt margins), wind-turbine towers (really love it), and concrete and steel lampposts (don't love it). It also owns a minority stake in a steel mini-mill in California (love it) and a construction business in Hawaii (hmmmm, construction yuck. At least Hawaii has huge barriers to entry).

I like many of its businesses plus it actually pays a dividend of over 1%, which by historical standards isn't great...but by today's standards is actually pretty good. This is a very interesting company. I don't know enough about it to buy it in real life yet, but as I mentioned I bought it in CAPS yesterday.

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