Quanex Corp (NX)

CAPS Rating:
***

The Company produces engineered carbon and alloy steel bars, aluminum flat-rolled products, flexible insulating glass spacer systems, and precision-formed metal and wood products which primarily serve the vehicular products and building products markets.

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.

The earnings history for this company surely deserves some respect. The long climb to the midfifties made a lot of money for for those who went for a good portion of that ride. The correction was due, and it wasn't all that severe. I think we're looking for a climb to the low 70's this time.

The new CEO did a tremondous job with Schneider Electric. He has vision, buys profitable companies, and will do another tremendous job with Quanex. I am looking forward to good dividends and an increase in the stock price.

I'm forcasting the numbers regarding America's financial situation to be terrible in the summer. Therefore, I see investors itching to short all sectors duing business in the U.S. domestic market, including Quanex. Quanex, along with most other heavily domestic dependent stocks will ride the Dow down into the 11,000's this summer. Time to jump on the bandwagon folks!
