The Company is a producer of zinc and zinc-based products with production and/or recycling operations at six facilities in five states.

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.

Avatar Wayfarer2003 (52.06) Submitted: 8/12/08 6:08 PM

Commodity prices are falling, so why buy a U.S.-based zinc producer? First, Horsehead has virtually no debt and surplus cash to allow it to ride out the downdraft in metal prices. Second, it is the largest U.S-based zinc producer with locations in IL, OK, PA, TN, and TX, placing it nearby steel pla...More

With lighter, more durable, cheaper and abundant materials out there like resin, I think we'll see a decline in the use of zinc. The processing is becoming more expensive and the shipping costs are increasingly rising. Lightweight materials have replaced ceramic and porcelain over the last 20 or so ...More

Recs 0 (ZINC) mm13cbr600f2 (22.71) Submitted: 8/30/08 7:53 PM : Start Price: $8.30 ZINC Score: 4.38 Commodities are oversold. Automobile downturn is over done. I mean is anyone going to actually stop driving. No one? Ok, so I guess we will still have to build more cars......and by the way, ZINC is in everyone of them, no matter who builds the car, or what country they are from. Zinc commodity at $.75 is cheap and will return to $1.00 level in under a year. PE at 4.44 is great value. I am most impressed with management having hedging zinc prices while they were falling. I expect to see a slow rise to near $10 a share by end of 2008. By Aug 2009 I would think that $14 is realistic. Report this Post Replies: 0 \| Reply \| Permalink Oops!

Recs 0 (ZINC) bigjim50 (< 20) Submitted: 8/29/08 12:13 PM : Start Price: $8.00 ZINC Score: 7.28 Consider the price of zinc at this time, should see good growth in short period of time.

Recs 0 (ZINC) TardusUnus (< 20) Submitted: 8/28/08 8:56 PM : Start Price: $7.93 ZINC Score: 8.76 Looks severely undervalued, even using modest 15% growth and 15% DCF rate. At these rates, price is currently about 75% under-valued, and with a little global economic stimulation to pump some life back into zinc demand and price levels, could see several years of great growth . No LT debt, current ratio near 5, good cash on hand and flow, a P/E < 4 and P/S around .5, once global economy begins to breathe again, what's there to dislike?
