FARO Technologies, Inc. (FARO)

CAPS Rating:
*****

The Company designs, develops, manufactures, markets and supports portable, software driven, 3-D measurement systems that are used manufacturing, industrial, building construction and forensic applications.

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.

Even though the pace of construction is bound to slow down in US due to a slump in economy as we see it now, the accelerated speed of construction and development in rest of the world should allow plenty of opportunity for this company to sell its services, soaring its value.

Experiment time... I will pick whatever stocks that are on the cold 5 star list on the last trading day of each month. There is no research involved other what is on the cold 5 star list at the end of each month. Each pick will be for one year. Lets see where this goes...

Trailing of 23 and forward of 15 for a high growth tech stock is excellent. They missed in their last earnings, but they didn't really. They didn't change the guidance for the year at all, yet the market took it down from 36 dollars to 26. That's an enormous drop for a company that kept their yearly guidance the same. Great opportunity to get in on a company that dominates its competition. In fact there is only one other company in the competition for a company that feels it has tapped only 5% percent of the potential market for their product.

Operating costs were up due to purchasing of new nd better equipment, and their CAD market segment should increase due to stronger building demand.

Faro is taking a huge hit today because it's earnings only increased by 14 percent? I've held this stock for a long time, and am glad to have it. I'm not going to buy more, but today would be a good day to create a position. GE is one of their customers.
