CAPS Rating:

The Company is a provider of modular enterprise-class data storage solutions and storage process technology. It designs, develops and manufactures enabling technology that provides its customers with data storage products.

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 players 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.

This stock has been knocked down of late, but they are a strong network storage company with a young executive team ready to increase sales in the United States and Malaysia. This is a great one year hold...

You've got to be kidding me...not a single underperform rating here. Are we looking at the same company? Xyratex is in the midst of a pretty major sales decline and it isnt going to simply go away in a single quarter. Their products are good, but their customers are not buying like they were in 2005...More

Recs 1 (XRTX) NeroSagetrade (89.38) Submitted: 10/15/07 12:17 AM : Start Price: $19.14 XRTX Score: 3.29 You've got to be kidding me...not a single underperform rating here. Are we looking at the same company? Xyratex is in the midst of a pretty major sales decline and it isnt going to simply go away in a single quarter. Their products are good, but their customers are not buying like they were in 2005. Sales declined in the most recent quarter and it created a huge drop in profits. I would fully expect lower earnings expectations over the next 3-6 months and based on a clear break in the technicals on the two year chart, id say a head and shoulders formation is highly probable (that'd have bearish connotations). No way this beats the S&P over the next 2-6 months. Nero Sagetrade Report this Post Replies: 0 \| Reply \| Permalink Oops! There appears to be a problem with your comment.

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!
