Teleflex, Inc. (TFX)

CAPS Rating:

A diversified industrial company specializing in the design, manufacture and distribution of specialty-engineered products. The Company serves a range of customers in the segments of the commercial, medical and aerospace industries.

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 company does so much wrong, it's hard to understand how they make profit. They have always had a good history of cash flow and unbelievable pressure on the management team never to be first ones to ruin TFX's history of upward trending.

Recs 0 (TFX) ypmstocks (99.38) Submitted: 5/15/08 4:34 PM : Start Price: $47.34 TFX Score: 36.71 Now that I've pitched, I've probably jinxed the company. Put my money where my mouth was and luckily (b/c no one can time the market or a stock) it was near the bottom. Diversified company and steadily increasing dividend payer, the kind of companies I like for my IRA. Report this Post Replies: 0 \| Reply Oops! There appears to be a problem with your comment.
