American Ecology Corp (ECOL)

CAPS Rating:
****

The Company through its subsidiaries, provides radioactive, hazardous and industrial waste management services to commercial and government entities.

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 players 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.

"Provides radioactive, hazardous and industrial waste management services to commercial and government entities, such as nuclear power plants, medical and academic institutions, steel mills and petro-chemical facilities."

Waited for up trend (now 20% plus) to get in. It has 4x ROA, 2 1/2 Ind ROI, 3X per Employee Revenue vs Ind., 26% increase 5YR Growth Sales, no negligle debt, just signed working finance credit for 15Million with Wells Fargo. Well positioned to get Nuclear, Chemical waste contracts over next 4 years no matter who is President.

This is my "field". They have what it takes to grow, and if nuclear energy grows at all, they will be in the drivers seat. The license they just received from Texas, is a BIG deal.

Healthy quarterly growth, healthy annual growth, well positioned in it's group. Should continue to do well, up volumes outweigh downs.
