CAPS Rating:
***

The Company is engaged in designing and manufacturing sensors for original equipment manufacturers and end users.

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'm trying to figure out why more people aren't excited about this stock. I see that someone here posted a concern about MEAS being overly dependent on one customer, so that's something to look into.

I'm trying to figure out why more people aren't excited about this stock. I see that someone here posted a concern about MEAS being overly dependent on one customer, so that's something to look into. Other than that, though, the numbers look great, with increasing revenue growth and profit margins, and a nice small market cap that gives it room to grow. They have a good growth rate, which puts their PEG near the bottom of their industry, even though their PE itself is high.

MEAS's revenue (ergo its bottom line) is highly dependent on one large customer: Sensata (formerly a Texas Instruments division). Sensata's business, in turn, is under heavy price pressure from Asian competitors. I believe MEAS will do no better than muddle through from here on out.

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!
