Matrix Service Company (NASDAQ:MTRX)

earnings are good debt very low...economy will pick up and so will matrix pps

I’m still giving this one an up thumb a year later, now more diversified this company has a lot more room to run. Well managed and will see the twenties sometime in 2011 - of course that’s my prediction.

Does anyone have any knowledge as to why Mtrx seems to have such a nice cash position right now?

Adding a few random stocks from a screen:

PEG<1
P/S<1

This account tracks the less exciting stocks from my watch list - companies that are easy to understand with clean balance sheets and good track records in relatively straight-forward industries.

small-cap with strong 5 year ROE& profit margin improvement

Low relative PE, good star ranking, PEG & 09 PE still below normal - bottom fishing.

Necessary industry for a long time coming so no room to lose there. Will grow as the markets increase as well as energy infrastructure expansion.

Sold company zero debt.. they recover when the price of crude heads north

need for storage

Small cap infrastructure play with oil patch exposure has been in the tank recently. Given $1.35-$1.60 epsforward guidance, believe current $6.58 price appears to discount almost all the bad near-term news - attractive fundamental and technical opportunity.

I recently took an interest in MTRX. The company provides construction and a variety of other services to a wide variety of industries. If a project involves steel, or pipe, or turbines, this company can do the job. I get the impression that they can move between sectors to find work. They might work on an oil refinery, or a paper plant, or a power generating station, so they can shift to projects in whatever industry is growing. I looked at a few recent articles and found that the stock was upgraded from a hold to a buy. The articles state that the company looks healthy, the debt is reasonable, etc. I picked the stock back in August after it took a dramatic fall. Now that it has recovered a bit I have about a 14% increase in the past month or two.

Riding without Jim Cramer on BULL pick MTRX

Good Luck!
