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.

Let me speak to you as a plumber. These products are the best and only brand we as a trade use day in day out. , for the backflow prevention and pressure reduction of water. Almost every drop of water in the US you drink has passed through at least one Watts valve on the way to your lips.

Numbers look pretty poor. Like ITRI- I like the industry. but minimal FCF, a pitiful balance sheet and negative revenue growth. don't know what people see in this thing besides 'potential'

We need water no matter what the bear market says. WTS is trading at it's 52 week low and I will go with it here at this price.

Here is a five-star stock with at least 50 all-stars picking it to outperform, and it is within 5% of its 52-week low.

I simply used the screener to find all of the 5 star stocks with the greatest 52-week losses. 5 stars should make them good picks and the high 52-week loss should make them cheap. We’ll see how it works!

A patient bottom call. I rated Watts earlier and took a beating, ending my pick to my detriment.





However, a lot of top rated players have blood on their hands, so it must be a bargain now, right? I don't know for sure what the problem is with this stock.





I think money will have to flow into the water industry, like water flowing into something.
