CAPS Rating:
****

The Company designs, develops, produces and markets products, systems and services for advanced communications 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 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.

this company has continued to beat estimates and grow earnings without any major increases in share price. Comtech has continued to sign contracts and should see more foreign contracts (s.american) in the future.

This company continues to receive orders, though not enormous by last year's standards. The stock continues to dribble away. Given the economy over the next year, I don't anticipate big orders like last year's $605.1 million MTS contract with the US army. If Republicans stay in office, I might chan...More

They recently announced they are about to buy Radyne for $11.50/shr or $216.2M. Their stock are going up and you can expect them to go higher since company is expanding. Good choice for a long-term...

Growth for free?

- .94X PEG is way below industry 1.48x (P/E is 16.2x vs. 15.36x, so only a bit of growth is priced in)
- High profitability by industry standards - 43.8% Gross, 20% Op, 15.1% Net
- 26.8% TTM Rev growth; 36.5% MRQ actually beat industry
- 22.2% ROE, 14% ROA, 16.7% ROI
- Liquid assets exceed debt which is only 20.9% of capital base

So-so absolute discount but a great industry relative one for a solid, well run, conservatively financed business. I'd gladly pay 2.2x sales for this.

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!
