Safeguard Scientifics, Inc. (SFE)

CAPS Rating:
***

The Company builds value in revenue-stage information technology and life sciences businesses. It provides growth capital as well as a range of strategic, operational and management resources to its partner companies.

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.

SFE stock seems to be reasonably valued. While the company appears to have a lot of overhead (they are hiring all kinds of people at executive pay-levels), it does seem to be generating some positive returns. SFE's targeted segments (healthcare and IT) and phase (early growth) seem to be right on.

SFE is one of those stocks that can percolate for years while they cultivate their holdings. This stock just takes patience. At its current pps, however, there is limited downside.

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!
