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.

Great low PE growth opportunity, priced too low for what it will generate in the future, electronic and computer components will always be strong, and companies will always need to make improvements in this area. Good time to buy in when it is beaten down and unnoticed.

Avatar synergize (95.65) Submitted: 5/15/08 3:29 PM : Underperform Start Price: $27.35 AVT Score: -6.94

On 14-May-2008, its president Fred Cuen has left the company. He is at least the second high-profile executive to leave Avnet in as many months. Anna McDermott stepped down as senior vice president of customer engagement for Avnet Technology Solutions in April. McDermott, previously CEO of Access Distribution before it was acquired by Avnet.
Technicals:

Stock is down since October of last year. The trend presents a bearish sentiment. There was a massive sell-off on 25-April-2008 which can trigger more selling. There will be short-term bullish runs but the trend will be your friend. Short-term bull runs can be confused with bullish reversal signals.

Avnet is a major supplier to companies like Honeywell and other aerospace and electronics players. Many of AVTs customers aren't badly affected by the consumer downturn, so AVTs exposure to the overall weakness is fairly limited. Their training, services, and hardware are invaluable in many cases. While they missed earnings by about 4 cents, that doesn't seem too bad given the current environment. They ARE still growing, just not as quickly. Meanwhile, the share price has been driven down unreasonably on perceived weakness. A stock with earnings & growth like AVT does not deserved to be priced at book. It can only go up from here, IMHO.
