CAPS Rating:

The Company is a manufacturer and engaged in design, manufacture, marketing and servicing of fluid power systems for industrial, mobile, and aircraft equipment; and electrical systems and components for power quality, distribution and control.

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.

Eaton is cheap and poised for growth. Report this Post Replies: 0 \| Reply \| Permalink Oops! There appears to be a problem with your comment. Check to see if there's something you left out.

Recs 0 (ETN) DLai0001 (43.20) Submitted: 6/10/08 1:43 PM : Start Price: $94.92 ETN Score: -5.33 I don't like it's debt, but I think they have some promising technologies. One in particular I'm very interested in is their HLA (Hydrolic Launch Assist) sytems. They are essentially hybrid drive trains for heavy vehicles. With gas prices rising, this is great for stop-and-go heavy vehicles like busses and dump trucks. Also, many ports are requiring cleaner emissions around the ports. It maybe be beneficial to use hybrid assist to reduce engine loads during all the start and stop cycles during the loading unloading and store energy while the engine is idle to reduce emissions when it's moving. I like it's 1.2 current ratio. It says the company has sufficient cash flow to survive in the short term without further capitalization. Unlike other players in the field of green energy where additional infusions of value dilluting capital on a regular basis is needed. Pofitability margin is not good, but is expected to grow as they expand on their other business segments. Report this Post Replies: 0 \| Reply \| Permalink Oops!
