Utah Medical Products, Inc. (UTMD)

CAPS Rating:
*****

The Company is in the business of producing cost-effective medical devices that are proprietary, disposable and for hospital use.

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.

Cursory DD shows decent fundamentals and room to grow and of course buyout potential in today's LBO/M&A crazed market. Small cap company growing earnings and paying a dividend, in a steady industry. Also a health care play which I'm bullish on. All good reasons to go long on UTMD.

The company has an ongoing feud with the purchasing departments of several major hospital chains, but that may sort itself out in the coming months. If UTMD's women's health products are really superior, and physicians are really being prevented from using them by the procurement officers, the plaintiff's bar will pick up on whatever adverse outcomes result from the doctors having to use inferior products. In the meantime, the p/e is low, the roe is just shy of 40, I'd say ok.

A good dividend until someone acquires it.

Testing out a portfolio of smallish-cap 5-star stocks found using the CAPS screener. All picks have at least 50 allstars backing them, which should be enough to minimize star rating fluctuations. It's been less than a week, but so far so good!

Looks very good in the growing healthcare business. Very low market cap and a lot of room for growth here...

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