CAPS Rating:
*****

The Company designs, produces, markets and services material handling equipment and systems for a variety of industrial markets.

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 players 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.

A rare small-cap with global presence and great management. K-Tron serves niche markets in the food, drug, and energy sectors (can you say recession-proof?).

I am late to the game with this one, but dang, what a wonderful stock for those who've owned it for any time period starting in late 2001.

This just showed up on my HiGrowth screen with the following particularly good historical stats:

Market cap < 370m (smallest of 7 stocks from the screen)
Insider Holdings > 15% (1st of 7)
5yr earnings growth per share > 45% (3rd of 7)
Return on Equity > 24% (4th of 7)
EV/FCF < 16 (4th of 7)
EV/OCF < 15
Gross Margin > 42%

Some future blog post may reveal my various screen criteria. But not today.

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!
