CAPS Rating:
*

A bank holding company operating two wholly owned subsidiaries: First Midwest Bank and First Midwest Insurance Company.

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.

Quality management and high buy-out potential. This stock has been the speculation of takeover rumors by west coast banks looking to expand for a year or two (back when the stock was regularly trading in the $35 range).

This stock is included in the Morningstar "Dividend Portfolio," which I use as my core stock group. I highly suggest anyone interested in dividend income take a look at this grouping of quality income producing stocks.

Extremely well run bank that has sidestepped the subprime and credit mess almost entirely. Pays a good dividend and the Q2 earnings were solid. Good balance sheet and conservative management. Stock is simply priced too low but I'll wait for the correction while I get an 8% dividend yield.

At this price, I expect a buy-out at the first sign of a recovery in the financial sector.

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