Northrop Grumman Corp (NOC)

CAPS Rating:

The Company provides technologically advanced, innovative products, services, and integrated solutions in information and services, aerospace, electronics, and shipbuilding to its global customers.

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 players 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 sell-off was over done. The problem was a one-time event.

fabulous stock. buy it while it's down. remember: a stock's value is unrelated to the company's health. It really depends on what is in fashion for the big buyers ( individual and funds). defense stocks may be out of favor right now, but if i could, i'd buy into this one

I expect steady returns that beat the S&P for years to come. Oh, and I hear they have some new contracts in the works worth millions if not billions.

Recs 0 (NOC) deuspecuniae (< 20) Submitted: 4/29/08 4:24 PM : Start Price: $74.00 NOC Score: 0.58 This stock along with the rest of the defense sector is heading higher. Say hello to investors and money managers looking to survive a recession this summer by jumping into defense. Learn to follow the crowd (mutual funds and such)--it consistantly weathers better than navigating against the grain. Report this Post Replies: 0 \| Reply \| Permalink Oops!

Recs 0 (NOC) JDSancho (98.22) Submitted: 4/28/08 6:41 PM : Start Price: $71.73 NOC Score: 2.97 If NOC gets back down around $71 as it did earlier this month for about 15 minutes, it is a serious buy. Price target by 2010 = $105 based on $7 earnings/share...offers 40-50% margin of safety. Report this Post Replies: 0 \| Reply \| Permalink Oops! There appears to be a problem with your comment.

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!
