CAPS Rating:

The Company is principally engaged in the design, development, manufacture and marketing of yield-enhancing, production support solutions for specialized applications in the supply chain of the electronics industry, primarily for PCBs and FPDs.

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.

Recs 0 (ORBK) dominatorx (25.31) Submitted: 2/18/08 12:36 PM : Start Price: $18.21 ORBK Score: -36.52 Company should benefit by increasing investments by Flat Panel Display Manufacturers. During the last 15 months the manufacturers were very measured in their capital expansion plans driven by fear of oversupplying the market. As a result capacity has been very tight and the market has been undersupplied. Many of these same manufacturers have recently announced intentions to increase manufacturing capacity to catch up with demand. ORBK has significant exposure to the FPD equipment manufacturing market and the stock should benefit from their customers plans to increase industry capacity.

Recs 0 (ORBK) CaptKrunch (< 20) Submitted: 1/02/08 2:06 PM : Start Price: $25.43 ORBK Score: -41.27 2008 is going to be a better year for ORBK - FPD sales will improve overall as existing inventory's are depleted. The stock price is down because of high FPD industry inventory and declines in other Orbotech product sales. Still.... not going to be a big year, just better.

Recs 0 (ORBK) alon2k5 (24.04) Submitted: 8/08/07 6:04 PM : Start Price: $19.46 ORBK Score: -33.68 (Q2 2007) Orbotech posted net loss for the quarter which included 2 write-offs. Orbotech expected lower revenues in the FPD market for 2007 but not as low, causing their shares to be very depressed. However, Orbotech expects FPDs sales to pick up in 2008. My thoughts? the shares are close to bottoming out. Next year (2008), with the Olympics in China the FPD market should heat up again! My guess is Orbotech will eventually start moving up towards Q1-2008 Risks? Always, but I would not count the company being based in Israel as one of them. I should know, It's my home.
