CAPS Rating:
*****

The Company designs, manufactures and markets thermal imaging and infrared camera systems. Its products are used in a variety of applications in commercial, industrial and government markets, internationally as well as domestically.

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.

FLIR can't go wrong in any market, especially with continuing terrorist and border issues at hand.

Solid company, has beaten street estimates the last several quarters including the last (June 2008). RoE of 20, net profit margin of 17%, both very respectable within the industry. Good balance sheet, little debt lots of cash. Boarder security and anti-terrorism will be important regardless of which clown is elected this coming november in the US. Also, FLIR has a large commercial sales aspect. IBD ratings of 95/95 respectively for EPS/relative price strength as well...Bought in a little early but hey, thats life.

This is not bargain priced, but the potential for revenue growth, increased EPS and profits, profits, profits are too great to pass up.

In 1Q 2008, FLIR totaled just short of $237M in revenue, up almost 50% year over year. EPS growth over the last year is at 35%. Their ROE is an efficient 21% and their net profit margin is north of 17%.

Most importantly, FLIR has a record backlog of work, and is likely to keep blowing past analysts' expectations. We may see healthy growth in profits here for the foreseeable future. Outperform.

A bit expensive, but strong profit margins and return on investment; debt looks manageable.
