OraSure Technologies, Inc. (OSUR)

CAPS Rating:
***

The Company develops, manufactures and markets oral specimen collection devices using its proprietary oral fluid technologies, diagnostic products including in vitro diagnostic tests, and other medical devices.

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.

Beaten down recently on concerns over its HIV test and legal issues, but still has excellent prospects for its over-the-counter oral fluid HIV test and its hepatitis C test for healthcare professionals.
