Systemax, Inc. (SYX)

CAPS Rating:

A direct marketer of brand name and private label products. The Company operates in three primary reportable business segments - Technology Products, Industrial Products and Hosted Software.

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.

This is a good company. Books still in good shape. The credit crunch is causing people to pay their bills instead of buying mail order computers. This company will come back ... just not right now... I have to give it a thumbs down for now and a thumbs at the end of the year.

All their operations are profitable and growing and they have strung together back to back Quarterly sales growth for more than a year, which the press seems to pay no attention to. Their last Q set a company record for sales, profits and earnings growth with no extraordinary items. PPS has been beaten down on year old news of an investigation of their rebate policy -- basically bogus and representing just a miniscule percentage of sales. They are benefiting from on line sales growth (Tiger Direct is one of the largest on line retailers of computers, etc. in an industry expected to grow 20% in 2008.). 40+ % of a very low float is short and will have to cover at some point.
