Hutchinson Technology, Inc. (HTCH)

CAPS Rating:
*

The Company designs and manufactures suspension assemblies for hard disk drives.

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.

I like these guys. I think they're turining things around. They increased market share and sales and seem to be reacting well to thier challenges.

Not likely to go far from current place. Just doing a re shuffle of chairs doesn't change overall market conditions.

Huge P/E ratio for this industry. Tough to see the stock staying at this price in this type of market.

This company has gone through some hard times in the last couple of years. I do believe that the restructing will be completed soon and the share repurchase program will help the stock price rise again. I don't believe the stock will reach it's high in '05, but it should climb back into the mid-to-upper 20s with a year or so.

Beat this Stock

Clicking "Beat this Stock!" will bring you to a company with a higher rating than the one you're currently viewing.

Even though CAPS shows only one- to five-star rankings, behind the scenes, all companies in CAPS have a distinct numerical ranking. In other words, there is a No. 1 stock in CAPS and a worst-ranked stock in CAPS. When you arrive at the top-ranked stock, clicking "Beat this Stock!" will cause the page to refresh.

That is, until there is a new No. 1 stock!
