**

The Company is a designer, developer, manufacturer and marketer of branded fitness and apparel products sold under such well-known brand names as Nautilus, Bowflex, Schwinn Fitness, StairMaster, and Pearl Izumi.

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.

Believe Nautilus is approaching full "wash out" stock price level and likely represents good long term value here in the $8.50 range. Sherborne Partners owns a large percentage of shares - activist investor likely to try and shake things up with the stock trading around book value. Likely to earn o...More

The management team of Nautilus is adrift in a sea of confusion and self deception. As a former member of the engineering team, I saw up close and personal the ineptitude and appalling lack of vision the people at the very top of this corporation are capable of. Until an complete and thorough scorch...More

Nautilus is struggling with its financials. It had negative income of 45.9 million over the past 12 mos. Over the past 5 years it has had negative sales growth. It currently has a negative EPS and negative cash flow. It just appointed a new CEO in 3/2008 and sold off it Pearl Izumi line in 4/2008. The sale of Pearl Izumi got rid of 4.1 million in debt, but thats a drop in the bucket considering the company just took out a 100 million dollar loan in Jan 2008. If the economy was a little better, Nautilus might be able to make some improvements. However, I just don't see tons of people running out to buy fitness equipment and I can't see this company turning itself around at any time in the near future. In fact, I wonder how long it will be before they parcel out another one of their lines. Despite the fact the stock price, currently $3.20, is near its 52 week low of $3.00, I think it will continue to lose ground.

Nautilus manufacturers some of the most iconic fitness equipment around. I think everyone can say they've watched a Bowflex infomercial at 2AM and imagined themselves having wash board abs. It seems like mismanagement drove the stock into the ground. I'm sure if they can get the cost of ownership down they would appeal to more people. Also, if you ever tried to buy a Bowflex or any big ticket fitness equipment for that matter, you never really know if you're getting a good deal. If they worked on communicating the pricing structure on these products more efficiently i'm sure more people would purchase them. Perhaps somebody from marketing will read this.
