Capstone Turbine Corp (CPST)

CAPS Rating:
***

Capstone Turbine Corporation engages in developing, manufacturing, marketing, and servicing microturbine technology 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.

Plasma Gasification of waste is here with economic reality...cpst will win power deals for onsite process of gas among other uses of their turbines. You might say there is a reason CPST is at an all time low...you also might say there is a reason CPST is still worth north of 200 mil...

Even assuming they book an operating profit in the next couple of years, I doubt Capstone will ever book actual income.

The turbines are populare in the oil industry, and there is a need for the green power fo for Electricity prices also, so it is the best of both worlds.

If you think the market for hybrid and electric vehicles will explode in the near future and you want to be on board for the ride, or you’re convinced that we’ll still need to rely on hydrocarbon fuels for the foreseeable future and want a stock that gets you into offshore drilling, look no further than Capstone Turbine. Because the microturbines require little maintenance, two of Capstone’s biggest customers are Brazilian and Mexican national oil companies Petrobras and Pemex, who use the microturbines for CHP applications on their unmanned offshore drilling platforms. I patched these 2 paragraphs together from the article below. I'm a big believer in this company. Capstone hasn't been profitable yet but their timing wasn't right back in the early part of this decade. Now that green energy is gaining momentum, and more importantly, that humans are just starting to realize how much we need green energy, this stock will make some very nice gains in the years to come.

CPST is one of the companies with a too high valuation compared to its sales potential. It is also loss making.
