CAPS Rating:
****

A provider of navigation, communications and information devices, which are enabled by GPS technology. The Compny designs, develops, manufactures and markets a diverse family of hand-held, portable and fixed-mount GPS-enabled products.

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.

Warren Buffet once said that "It's far better to buy a wonderful company at a fair price than a fair company at a wonderful price." Garmin, it seems, is such a company. Valuation is attractive, as the PE is mere decimals away from a 5-year low, but not spectacular, and it faces doubts in coming ye...More

I was in love with this stock for a while, too. But looking at this company objectively, it has no moat. Thats why prices are coming down, as GPS is becoming a commodity offered readily by all the major communications companies (Nokia, Apple, etc....). Sure the stock is cheap, but which would you...More

Garmin is a leader in a field which is still growing. The company has first class financials.
Yes, there is plenty of competition these days, but I suspect that Garmin has a hardcore base of loyal users who go beyond being mere traffic navigators. If I had successfully depended upon a Garmin GPS unit time after time in order to find my way across the waters, through the sky or through the forest, I think that I would stick with the brand that got me home safely when upgrading or adding another type of GPS device. For that kind of serious navigation, I would not be depending upon a GPS built into a cell phone.

Declining margins and GPS built into new Blackberry Bold spell trouble for Garmin. A 50% drop from here wouldn't be surprising.

This company is an excellent performer. It is over sold because the sellers don’t understand the PND customer’s use model. Sellers of GRMN don’t understand that GPS PHONES ARE NOT A SUBSTITUTE for a Nuvi on the dash. No handheld phone will ever satisfy the customer need like a Garmin Nuvi with its large touch screen, turn-by-turn spoken directions, fast speed of recalculation, great reception, and competitive price. Garmin is the market leader for a good reason and I believe they will continue to be the leader going foreword.
