FBR Capital Markets Corp (FBCM)

CAPS Rating:
*

A full-service investment banking, institutional sales, trading and research and asset management firm with a customer-focused and innovative approach to meeting its clients' needs.

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.

While I'm a decided bear on the overall financial services industry over the next year, I believe FBR Capital Markets has fallen enough to offer a signficant long term opportunity at its current $9.50 price.

Relatively unknown company. Confusion with FBR the reit.

While I'm a decided bear on the overall financial services industry over the next year, I believe FBR Capital Markets has fallen enough to offer a signficant long term opportunity at its current $9.50 price. This is a classic "busted" IPO, no longer tied into the unattractive FBR Group with its mortgage problems. The metrics now work - almost two thirds of the company's current market capitalization is in cash - quite a cushion - with both price/sales and price/book under 1.30. Choppy ride ahead, but certainly shouldn't have more than another 10-15% downside, while the long term outlook for mid-market investment banking, brokerage and asset management should be robust. I expect to sell it in CAPS for a 15% gain, but real world investors will likely reap handsome gains for those with a 2-3 time horizon.
