BancorpSouth, Inc. (BXS)

CAPS Rating:

A financial holding Company, with its principal subsidiary BancorpSouth Bank provides a range of financial services to individuals and small-to-medium size businesses.

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.

Extremely strong regional bank, expansion minded management with two recently added states to the company. Strong long term returns from regions that normally aren't as profitable for other companies

Recs 0 (BXS) koolmike (< 20) Submitted: 7/21/08 9:34 AM : Start Price: $21.10 BXS Score: 26.96 I have done business with this bank for 8 years and have observed that they are solid. No real highs, no real lows. Stable. Not taking huge chances (ie dumb loans), during the "fog-a-mirror" loan days. They are good at running a solid, stable, customer-focused business. I think UP for this stock. Report this Post Replies: 0 \| Reply \| Permalink Oops! There appears to be a problem with your comment. Check to see if there's something you left out.

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!
