Avatar Holdings, Inc. (AVTR)

CAPS Rating:
*

The company's residential community development activities include the development of active adult and primary residential communities, as well as the development of a condominium in Hollywood and Palm Beach County.

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.

On August 11th, 2008 Avatar issued a press release to accompany its 2nd Qtr results. The results were gloomy and the press release was grimly honest-sounding...
The company swung to a big loss - .77/share; management had this to say about it:
"Our sales results continue to reflect the weak market for new single-family and multi-family residences in our markets. We continue to experience a high level of cancellations of sales contracts for homes. We do not anticipate a meaningful improvement in our markets in the near term. Our focus remains on managing Avatar and its assets for the long-term benefit of our shareholders, including the identification and monetization of commercial and industrial land. While the level and duration of the downturn cannot currently be predicted, we anticipate that these conditions will continue to have an adverse effect on our earnings for the balance of 2008."

I hope, for the sake of Avatar and their shareholders, that things turn around for them in the long term... Near term looks bleak.

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!
