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.

Management is doing its job here. Pre-tax profit and the percent earned on equity are both on the rise since 2004.

Sales, over the last 5 years, have only grown (on average) at 5.2%. Year-over-year this number jumps to 23%. Earnings over that same time period is a staggering 61%.

This stock has excellent potential. The call center industry is begining to abandone overseas call centers are restructure back into the US. Sykes has both overseas and US operations so they are able to captilize on either market. If you have watched their last few years they continue to grow and the potential is great. Even with the economy on a downturn growth will slow and companies will be looking to improve their customer service. Sykes is their answer and you will see their stock show that.

$750 mm cap.
Great sector to be doing business.
$2.00 off highs of the year.

This is going to open down on earnings forecast that is below eps current estimate.
However...when all is said and done - they also guided upward on revenues for the qtr....
EPS guidance for full year was wide...and there is room for earnings to come in inline - or even to exceed.

The company sees full-year earnings between 84 cents and 92 cents per share, on sales between $655 million to $680 million.

Analysts are expecting earnings of 88 cents per share on revenue of $666.4 million.
