Avid Technology, Inc. (AVID)

CAPS Rating:
*

The Company develops, markets, sells and supports a range of software and hardware products for the production, management and distribution of digital media content.

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.

Growth is not being priced in because of short-term setbacks. High takeover probablity as well.

These guys are to video production systems as Silicon Graphics was to computer graphics. They're being squeezed by cheaper solutions built around relatively inexpensive alternative, with no where to run on the high end - their specialized products (such as storage solutions) must compete against more moderately-priced generic solutions.

This is a dip and flip pick. It's got until next earnings to trend lower. Then I'll bet on a recovery long term. This pick is to keep it on my radar.

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