Amkor Technology, Inc. (AMKR)

CAPS Rating:
***

The Company is a subcontractor of semiconductor packaging and test 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 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.

Company has a very weak balance sheet. Working capital is limited and that is dangerous. However, majority of company's income is generated in the foreign market and that gives the company strong profit potential compared to a similar company that obtains majority of income from North America. Company is also expected to gain because of fx rate translations in the short-run (several months). Risk is high for this company but so is the profit potential. Also, operating income is strong but it is expected to decrease for the first quarter of 2008.

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!
