CAPS Rating:

The Company is a manufacturer of wood-alternative decking, railing and fencing products, which are marketed under the brand name Trex.

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.

T-rex has been hit a macroeconomic and bad management meteor.

When people can't sell their homes and are pinched by high oil and high food prices, they aren't going to be too inclined to drop a boatload of money on home improvement projects. Recent studies have shown that the return on y...More

This was at 7.50 during the time of the release of a grim 4Q and has only gone up since then.

Recs 5 (TWP) Tastylunch (99.57) Submitted: 3/31/08 1:57 AM : Start Price: $7.97 TWP Score: -113.46 T-rex has been hit a macroeconomic and bad management meteor. When people can't sell their homes and are pinched by high oil and high food prices, they aren't going to be too inclined to drop a boatload of money on home improvement projects. Recent studies have shown that the return on your home improvement projects is the lowest it's been in decades (it was recently around 90 cents on the dollar now it's about 70 cents). This is very bad news for T-rex as they make wood/plastic composite decking and railing materials, which by many is undoubtedly viewed as luxury item. They essentially have no customers in an environment like this and it shows in their declining sales. T-rex however was struggling before the housing went to pot and it really shows now. Their financials are absolutely awful. Return on Assets (TTM) -23.10 long term debt to equity 1.40 long term debt of 131.73 million (a nearly 160% increase over thr prior year) Price to free cash flow -4.50 Cash and Cash equivalents 0.07 and last but not least a Quick ratio of 0.10 T-Rex is in real danger of going extinct. Stay away from this dieing Dino. Report this Post Replies: 0 \| Reply \| Permalink Oops! There appears to be a problem with your comment. Check to see if there's something you left out.
