Go BCPC! On my scorecard since MF recommendation. All companies puts profits first, but what about the health of our country. Salt, sugar, and fat are the holy trinity of foods/profits. How about being the first to market something that not only taste terrifit...... but is a benific for our healthy. You would be on the cutting edge of helping one help oneself ; also, helping the medical and feed industries.jpmj4847

Many of their product lines appear to be (at least to my layman's perspective) must-have elements of food production. I estimate these guys will turn around a few minutes after the jobs--->consumer spending rebound.

good company riding a good wider trend. Pricy but if it dips to mid-30s a good buy.

The convergence of positive investment measures, which should help this stock outperform the majority of stocks. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its robust revenue growth, growth in earnings per share, solid stock price performance and increase in net income. The strengths outweigh the fact that the company shows low profit margins.

*****************************************************************
Balchem is a manufacturer of specialty performance ingredients for the food, animal feed, pharmaceutical and medical sterilization industries. The company's products provide essential nutrients for animal health and enhance therapeutic performance, taste, packaging and shelf life for human food and pharmaceutical markets.
We see 20% to 25% top line and bottom line growth, with 2008 earnings per share (EPS) reaching $1.10, driven by the following factors:
1. Strong demand for poultry in emerging economies is driving demand for choline, an essential poultry nutrient. Acquisitions have quadrupled Balchem's choline business.
2. Encapsulated products in the dairy market deliver nutrients in the harsh environment of the bovine gastrointestinal tract. The company's proprietary products have minimal competition and only a 10% domestic market penetration.
3. Encapsulated products in human nutrition deliver essential nutrients in frozen and packaged foods, including health bars and drinks. The company's encapsulation technology and domestic demand for packaged foods and nutritious snacks are driving growth.
4. Pharmaceutical applications for Balchem's encapsulation technology include calcium products for osteoporosis. Several research and development projects are in place to investigate the use of Balchem's technology with existing ethical and generic drugs.
There are two risks for this purchase. First, increases in raw material prices for choline production have pressured gross margins in 2007. Second, demand growth for poultry products in emerging economies may soften with weaker growth brought on by U.S. economic vulnerability
