CAPS Rating:

The Company is a manufacturer of a range of industrial products and systems organized under two groups, Tools & Supplies and Engineered Solutions.

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.

Growing too fast by way of debt-financed acquistions for my blood. 7% core business growth not impressive on its own.

Recs 0 (ATU) KenN513 (85.69) Submitted: 8/09/08 10:01 AM : Start Price: $30.97 ATU Score: -5.00 This company produces industrial equipment and supplies for worldwide consumption. The US Dollar is weak, so their products are cheap overseas. They are growing at 22% during the upcoming four quarters with expectations of 14% thereafter. That can be annualized to about 16%. So the stock is fairly priced as it stands. As the market probably won't grow in the next year, this stock should outperform handily. With 10 analysts watching it, its price will probably stay in line with growth. I would like to see more insider ownership of a small/medium company like this. I would also like to see less debt. These factors may reduce ATU's future growth prospects. Report this Post Replies: 0 \| Reply \| Permalink Oops! There appears to be a problem with your comment.
