Ituran Location and Control Ltd. (US) (NASDAQ:ITRN)

Follie seth

Zacks aggressive growth.

Boy, this company gets no love! They grow earnings by double digits, pay out a HUGE dividend each year, have growth prospects galore in latin america, great stable revenue base in Israel, and are majority owned by its founders.

If you like growth, dividends, and cheap stocks.......buy ITRN.

Adding to my "basket" of Israeli tech stocks

Israeli company in LA, they have serious theft issues

I have owned this stock before and I have pitched it on CAPS before. In short: excellent little sub-$500 million market cap Israeli company (20% Israeli tax on divvies, which can't be recovered if you buy in an IRA, so I'm not buying in my IRA), that is among other things a competitor to Lojack. Does a lot of business in Argentina and Brazil, in addition to Israel and the U.S. Big dividend (though not a stable, American-style dividend, it fluctuates European-style). Excellent balance sheet. ROA and ROE have been recovering in the last two years. TTM revenue is at an all-time high, but the stock is down recently, on various things, including slower earnings growth and concerns about international small-caps I suspect. Depreciation is in line with cap-ex. The stock has gone to nowheresville in the last year, and is down significantly from its recent January high. This is a great little company, and I should never have sold it when I did in May 2010, and will not sell again. While I continue to add to my "safe" large-cap quality stock holdings, my strategy this year, which I have already been implementing, is to make "riskier" bets (for me) in ETFs of interest, for example EPI, VHT, and BRF, which I already own some of, and to look for high quality SMALL-cap companies. By high quality, I mean companies with great balance sheets, decent price to earnings and/or price/FCF ratios, stable or growing and decent ROE, rational business plans, etc. I put ITRN in this category. Purchased today at $15.19/share. This initial position will put it at between two and three percent of the stock component of my portfolio.

5 STAR, Small-cap, dividend payer

The P/E is higher than I would like right now, but this is a very promising company with solid growth prospects. I also like their attitude regarding giving money back to shareholders.

Paying $17.51 a share for *just* the business in Brazil & Argentina. The biz in the US and Israel are bonuses.

Growing middle class in developing world.

GLOBAL GAINS RECOMMENDATION. HIGH D/Y PLUS EXPOSURE TO EMERGING MARKETS AND TECHNOLOGY. WHAT MORE COULD YOU WANT

Worldwide tracking and recovery demand is increasing as the technology becomes cheaper and more widely available.

Brazil play from Israel

This stock is cheap for the growth that is has shown... p/e is 16 , p/s of 2.48 but margin is 50 -60% which I really like.

has grown its revenue 3x since 2002, but the recession has slowed it down in 2008 and 2009. But recent quarterly report shows that its business will be growing again.

50% business done in isreal, 38% in brazil , 8% in US. Competition exists (LOJN, many car manufacturers has its own systems in newer cars).

95k revenue per employee

I bought this at $7.75 and now re-evaluating after 60% gain.

I still like it at this price!

P:E = 14. pays a dividend. minimal debt.

Primary product (vehicle recovery device) will continue to be in demand. I predict increasing demand. They have developed a number of other products that I like. World wide sales with strong presence in South America.

klarman,

Dude, where's my car?

Yes!
