Lawson Products, Inc. (LAWS)

CAPS Rating:
*

The Company is a North American distributor and marketer of systems, services and products to the industrial, commercial and institutional maintenance, repair and operations marketplace.

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.

The stockholder's equity per share dropped 6.1% from 2005 to 2006. Before that, such equity only grow in the 5-7% range annually. Similarly, total assets declined from 2005 to 2006 after substandard growth in previous years.

Debt went from nothing for the quarters ending September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2006, to $11 million and $16 million for the quarters ending March 31, 2007, and June 30, 2007, respectively.

This company is headed in the wrong direction financially. I can't seem them outperforming in the next year.

Well, it's more of a value than it was at 50, but I think this one still has rrom to fall. P/E is far too high. I wouldn't touch this until it hits 30 even, THEN and only then would it be worth the price, unless by some miracle they improve earnings.
