Waddell & Reed Financial, Inc. (WDR)

CAPS Rating:
**

The Company conducts business through its subsidiaries and provides investment management, investment product underwriting and distribution and shareholder services administration to mutual funds and institutional and separately managed accounts.

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.

One of the smaller of the big players on Wall Street has changed gears. Investment performance is solidly growing. Sales force retention is far above industry. Concept makes sense to clients and they don't go away.

One of the only investment banks or banks period that I feel comfortable backing. All the numbers for WDR are awesome and they are fairly priced as of late.

Beat this Stock

Clicking "Beat this Stock!" will bring you to a company with a higher rating than the one you're currently viewing.

Even though CAPS shows only one- to five-star rankings, behind the scenes, all companies in CAPS have a distinct numerical ranking. In other words, there is a No. 1 stock in CAPS and a worst-ranked stock in CAPS. When you arrive at the top-ranked stock, clicking "Beat this Stock!" will cause the page to refresh.

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