Polypore International, Inc. (PPO)

CAPS Rating:
**

A global technology filtration company that develops, manufactures and markets specialized microporous membranes used in separation and filtration processes.

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 REASON FOR THIS IS THAT THIN FILM FILTRATION IS NEEDED IN SEVERAL FIELDS. AND THIS STK WORKS IN BOTH THE MEDICAL FIELD AND MAY HAVE THE TECHNOLOGY TO WORK IN THE LITHIUM BATTERY FIELD WHICH MAY OR MAY NOT TAKE OFF.

Beat this Stock

Clicking "Beat this Stock!" will bring you to a company with a higher rating than the one you're currently viewing.

Even though CAPS shows only one- to five-star rankings, behind the scenes, all companies in CAPS have a distinct numerical ranking. 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!
