Sourcefire, Inc. (FIRE)

CAPS Rating:
**

The Company is a provider of intelligence driven, open source network security solutions that enable its customers to protect their computer networks in an effective, efficient and automated manner.

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.

If ever there were a takeover candidate in the network security industry, this is it. Rights to the most popular open source IDS software is worth more than 140M. Almost got bought by CHKP for nearly double that, two years ago. The stock will suck in the near term, but will percolate as vultures...I mean suitors start to circle.

Sourcefire is a fantastic company with a pretty good outlook if you ask me so let it drop a tad bit more, I'll just scoop more up. There's nothing more pleasant than knowing the government is a good customer of your security technology. It means for a steady customer and solid growth of 20M in revenues each year. FIRE will be solidly profitable in 2008 trading at a forward multiple of just under 25. What is truly staggering is the $4 in cash per share with zero debt that the company maintains. Do the math, you're paying $2.20 after cash for a company growing revenues at 20% a year. This company earned 18M in 2004 and should crank out nearly 70M in 2008, thats rapid growth! Little downside here with so much cash on hand.

That is, until there is a new No. 1 stock!
