Charles River Laboratories (CRL)

CAPS Rating:
*****

The Company is a global provider of solutions that advance the drug discovery and development process. It provides the animal research models required in research and development for new drugs, devices and therapies.

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.

I don't know much about this company but a friend of mine is obsessed with rats, so we call Charles River the Rat Company. I figure if Disney can succeed with a movie about rats, then surely Charles River can continue their successes.

CAPS Stock of the Day for me this Tuesday.

The market is oversold. Good strong companies like Charles River Labs are off 20%+ in just a matter of days. Let's just see, Fools, shall we...? Let's just see how many of the positions I open tonight beat the market over the next 2-4 years. Ready, set, go. --David
