Cabot Corp (CBT)

CAPS Rating:
***

A global specialty chemicals and performance materials company. Its principal products are rubber blacks, performance products, inkjet colorants, fumed metal oxides, aerogels, tantalum and related products, and cesium formate drilling fluids.

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.

Cabot Corp is a profitable company in a unique industry. The chemicals and specialty metals made by CBT are used in everything from cake mix to hydrogen fuel cells to tires to insulation.





The reason I'm bullish on CBT is largely because of its potential to be a player in the green energy revolution. Its aerogel products could potentially replace traditional materials used for housing insulation. And its involvement in fuel cells should be a catalyst, especially if governments throw support behind it.





CBT has a great deal of international exposure, with about half of its employees working outside the United States. Add it all up and CBT is a buy.

Cost controls in the company are appropriate and thoroughly part of the culture of the mature businesses. Several new businesses are poised to do very well.

Beat this Stock

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!
