CAPS Rating:
***

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.

Gencor Industries is a manufacturer of heavy machinery used in such things a road construction. Gencor also produces hot mis silos, fabric filtration systems, cold feed bins, pumping equipment for very viscous materials, rotary dryers, fluid heat transfer systems and other highly specialized equipment. The campany has been in business since 1968. It was formerly inown as Mechtron International but the name was changed to Gencor in 1987.

The current P/E is under 6 with earnings of $2.43/share and a current price of only $13.07. Gencor appears to be seriously undervalued in todays market.

Forcast earnings growth per share for the coming year are over 30%.

With our country's serious infrastructure problems, we have a lot of catching up to do in bridge and highway repair and construction. Gencor appears to have very good fundamentals for long term solid growth.

A share price increase of over 100% would not be out of the question.

Of all industries, the ones that reaps government money during hard times, are those that specialize in highway and road building and renovation equipment, supplies, and services. I'd say this is a bargain price for this stock, looking ahead at the near future. I figure whoever becomes president, will start by generating highway jobs. It's the traditional thing to do and has been successful ever since Teddy Roosevelt! Just an educated speculation.

CEO and one of directors clearly got in a fight and Miller sold his shares at a fast rate (and is just finishing off selling). He had a great deal of shares so this in combination with the drastic drop in earnings have caused too large of a sell off.

# Mr. Lloyd Miller only attended the Board meeting immediately after being elected to the Board on March 6, 2008. At that Board meeting he was elected to the Audit Committee but never attended one of it's meetings and then resigned from the Board on May 7, 2008, and based on recent conversations with management, he did so purely for personal reasons and convenience and maintains a professed high esteem for the company, its management, and its future.
# The resignation of Mr. Miller from the Board left a vacancy in the Audit Committee, which the Board will be moving forward to fill with a qualified independent director well within the period allowed by NASDAQ. Therefore, there is no issue.

A side note he used all of the money gained off GENC sale to purchase transworld entertainment.

GENC has far too much cash and has products that we will need for the foreseeable future.

Gencor Industries is a diversified heavy machinery manufacturer for the production of highway construction materials, synthetic fuels and environmental control machinery and equipment used in a variety of applications. PE under 7. Some equipment manufacturers have eliminated construction equipment for the sake of agricultural equipment's booming market, possibly leaving large market share for this company when highway construction picks up.
