Headwaters, Inc. (HW)

CAPS Rating:
****

The Company is a diversified company providing products, technologies and services in two industries: construction materials, including coal combustion products, and alternative energy.

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.

The most exciting part of this company's business to me is their use of fly ash, a by-product of coal fired powerplants, for use in concrete and stone veneer products. Although there is short term concern regarding construction, long term their products are innovative and progressive and should incr...More

I think it is time to wade back in on this one. I like the CLT and yea they have construction related divisions, but everyone needs roofs, and their other concrete products.

Until they demonstrate profitable traction in their clean coal and other various technologies. Only then will I turn a thumbs up.

Headwaters is making some moves to position themselves for the longhaul - service support industry (coal cleaning technology) - what coal company does not want to add value to thier product to capture a premium for hier product? Headwaters is filling the niche in this robust market - it's undervalued and a STEAL at $10.00 look for big gains by end of 4th Qt. Target price $16.50


Option guys - buy the contracts and put them in the drawer - Christmas in October? Count on it.

Three yearts ago I lost my but on this stock in the real world, However I think that it's time may have come given it's current price and where oil is and the increased demand for coal both here and abroad, ie china. It maybe time to buy back in and recoup.
