Applied Industrial Technologies (AIT)

CAPS Rating:
****

The Company is an industrial product distributor. In addition, the Company provides fluid power, mechanical, and rubber shop services.

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.

This is your typical "boring" company with everything going for it. Especially a market that is benefiting from the weakness in the dollar. As foreign goods become more expensive, domestic manufacturing will increase. This company will be there to provide manufacturing expendables.

Further, they are managing their business very nicely. Their financial statements are pristine!. I can't find anything not to like in their financials. Outperform for several years to come.

Taking a stab at the lynch approach. Strong 3yr eps growth, low debt to equity at .05, historical pre-tax income growth over last 4 years, a p/e to growth that is less than 1. This stock looks good.

It appears to be boring. Consistently making more money doing the same boring thing year after year. It fits the Lynch mold.

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!
