CAPS Rating:
***

The Company develops, manufactures, and markets lightweight, high-performance reinforcement products, composite materials and composite structures for use in the commercial aerospace, industrial, space and defense, and electronics markets.

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.

This company makes fibers that wil be in demand as aircraft are replaced with lighter and more fuel efficient models. HXL already has been awarded contracts so this pullback is an opportunity for the future.

HXL should directly benefit from the increasing use of composites among planmakers and other vehicle makers seeking efficiencies through lighter weight. Further, its entrance into the wind energy field should provide increasing revenues as the U.S. seeks to expand its source of alternative energy.

With long-term fuel costs not likely to subside, aircraft efficiencies have become very important to their operators. The light weight structural composites produced by HXL will be critical to the likes of Boeing and Airbus.
