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.

Recs 0 (FLIR) colonelnelson (< 20) Submitted: 7/23/08 12:13 AM : Start Price: $42.57 FLIR Score: -6.20 This is not bargain priced, but the potential for revenue growth, increased EPS and profits, profits, profits are too great to pass up. In 1Q 2008, FLIR totaled just short of $237M in revenue, up almost 50% year over year. EPS growth over the last year is at 35%. Their ROE is an efficient 21% and their net profit margin is north of 17%. Most importantly, FLIR has a record backlog of work, and is likely to keep blowing past analysts' expectations. We may see healthy growth in profits here for the foreseeable future. Outperform. Report this Post Replies: 0 \| Reply \| Permalink Oops! There appears to be a problem with your comment.
