Thor Industries, Inc. (THO)

CAPS Rating:
***

The Company produces and sells a range of recreation vehicles and small and mid-size buses in the United States and Canada.

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.

You can lump these guys in with Harley and Whirlpool--nothing but hard times ahead for years to come. Sales will tank as credit continues to tighten, and component costs will keep on rising. Their vaunted backlog will dry up faster than they did for the high-profile homebuilders.

Very cheap. Excellent mgmt. Will take a bit to get past perfect storm of housing debacle (no home-equity to buy RV's, wealth-effect, reduced income) and outrageously high oil.

Although this is actually a very good company under normal conditions, gas prices are going to continue to hurt them. However, if we ever get the gas prices under control, baby boomers love this company so I would go back long at that time.

Business will continue to severely contract in the coming months/years. Here is why:

U.S. consumers have less expendable income.
The cost to operate/maintain an RV has skyrocketed.
U.S. consumers have less available credit to purchase RVs.
U.S. consumers are dealing with rising unemployment.

Until energy prices decline, real wage inflation occurs, credit conditions stabilize and U.S. employment grows, the earnings growth for COA/FLE/THO/WGO will continue in a downward trend.

That is, until there is a new No. 1 stock!
