CRA International, Inc. (CRAI)

CAPS Rating:
***

An economic and business consulting firm that applies advanced analytic techniques and in-depth industry knowledge to complex engagements for a broad range of clients.

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.

After looking at NCI from a rec by EPS100momnetum, I followed up with this company and was very surprised with the findings. Below a 52 week low. George Soros likes it. Repeat business, international exposure.
They have growing ROW exposure
Global Presence. ( We deliver our services through a global network of 26 coordinated offices, including 16 domestic and 10 international offices. Our international offices are in Brussels, Manama, Hong Kong, London, Melbourne, Canberra, Sydney, Toronto, Hamburg, and Wellington. Many of our clients are multi-national firms with issues that cross international boundaries, and we believe our global presence provides us with a competitive advantage to address complex issues that span countries and continents. Our global presence also gives us access to many of the leading experts around the world on a variety of issues, allowing us to expand our knowledge base and areas of functional expertise.)
The only thing I didnt like was their 90 million dollar loan they took out to buy an international company in 06 but theyr only paying a 2.36% yield on it through 2036.
They also run the risk of their employee consultants running away with the business to somewhere else since most of them do not have a non compete. However, they have one of the best compensation packages. looking at their fundamentals
P/S 1.10
EPS 2.684 compared to NCI which has a larger market cap but a diluted EPS
P/B 1.69
REV per share of 35.173
earnings growth in the high 60s%
D/E .35

CRAI competes in some markets with my employer. Tough industry for employees, but stakeholders make bank -- reflected in high cash flow, high ROE historical results. In the long run, companies like CRAI with lower cost structures will continue to take market share. Recent punishment for missing earnings created buying opportunity.
