Kubota Corp (ADR) (KUB)

CAPS Rating:
*****

The Company is a manufacturer of farm equipment and producer of ductile iron pipes and equipment for water supply and other utilities. It also manufactures and sells engines, construction machinery, industrial machinery and environmental control plants.

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.

This stock has performed poorly recently but it is a nice way to play agribusiness and "ChinaGrowth" (tm) without throwing your money into that pit of unknown. I think of them as the Toyota of Farm and Construction Equipment. Remaining long here.

There is no reason why Kubota will not be able to grab some of the equipment needs for emerging markets. The unprecedentd growth and construction in Eastern markets will fuel an increase in the need for construction equipment. All companies willing to provide needed materials will reap the benefits.

Rise in global infrastructure gives me a good feeling ... Also, after the Dems take both houses of Congress and the WH this fall, infrastructure investments will be made here as well ...

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!
