CAPS Rating:
****

The Company is a heavy civil contractor and a construction materials producer. It is engaged in the construction of highways, dams, airport infrastructure, mass transit facilities, real estate site development and other infrastructure related projects.

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.

Building our infrastructure continues to grow this company, when multi-million dollar awards are plentyfull, and the company is managed very well (stable).

This company will continue to secure major contracts while the economy is doing well for hte next year or so.

California is the 9th largest economy in the world and the Gubernator has it in good shape. Its growth should be something to watch. Granite Construction is there to meet their needs. As for its shareholders it is increasing their value but their is currently a great buying opportunity right now. It is also at a significant discount to future earnings.
