This is my first attempt to evaluate a stock. I created a screen based on return on investment, eps growth and brokers' rating. AYI is one of the stocks that the screen returned.

It's a no-brainer. Underated company comes into limelight with great profit statement.

Agile competitive edge in the market

AYI has been beaten down due to the housing slowdown. However, much of their sales is driven by non-residential construction and retrofit activity. Much of their product line is new energy-efficient lighting introduced within the past three years.
In the last economic slowdown a few years back, AYI's business actually increased. Retailers wanted better lighting to improve sales, and all building owners like to reduce operating expenses. Therefore, while it's counterintuitive, AYI can actually be countercyclical thanks to the retrofit business.
With the complexity of their chemicals business now spun-off, and a much more streamlined management structure, they should do well in 2008. The price will recover quickly once people realize that a construction slowdown doesn't mean doom for them.

Play off of Genlyte. Hopes of being bought by Phillips for their lighting tech. Retrofitting old light fixtures to reduce energy

Good RoA and RoE, EPS of $0.88 announcement expected today (looks good with diluted EPS of about 2) and I just personally like companies owned mostly by insiders.

Wish I'd bought this when i added it to my "stocks to watch" list. Now it's out of my price range. Still got some upside.

Great run on this stock. Retail business weighted heavily on one major Home Center account. How many times can you raise prices citing fuel cost increases/raw materials/transporation? New Housing starts have boomed over the past few years however in 07 they will be down significantly. Big part of the volume is in commodity units..........Big accounts can source as good or even better than AYI. Specialty unit struggling.............20% drop in 07
