Neogen Corp (NEOG)

CAPS Rating:
****

The Company develops, manufactures and markets a line of products dedicated to food and animal safety.

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.

Neogen is a well managed company that flys just under the radar of most Wall Street analysts. The analysts tend to follow IDEXX Labs as a proxy for this sector. I like Neogen here for its smaller size and flexibility. The company carries no debt and has healthy insider ownership. It also produces consistent results quarter to quarter and rarely disappoints.

Neogen has two separate, but related businesses. The first has to do with food safety testing for both humans and animals. This is obviously an area that has constant demand. The demand will accelerate as globalization makes it more difficult to follow food-borne disease. I wouldn't be surprised if the next administration beefs up the regulatory oversight responsibilities of the FDA and gets more serious about food safety, given recent panics over salmonella and such.

The second business involves the development and manufacture of a whole range of veteranary medicines and treatments. This is where Neogen unviels its biotech roots, but compounds and drugs developed for animals are approved much more easily than those for humans. I like the companies positioning, management, and balance sheet. Definitely a long term outperformer.

It Has a big P/E Ratio but it is going up, and seems to be making money. In addition many people believe it will be good

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!
