CAPS Rating:
***

The Company is a global developer, manufacturer and marketer of vitro diagnostic products for the over-the-counter pregnancy and fertility/ovulation test market and the professional rapid diagnostic test 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 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.

This firm has been unnecessarily punished as a "serial acquirer" that does not fully recognize its potential.

Adown to half former value, it's going lower. Management cannot explain why it's paying $900 million for a $475 million company, Matria. Yep, it's a stinker until the CEO can explain this deal. Obviously, the shareholders aren't buying the sorry guidance thus far ....

They aquired a company I really liked (Matria Health Care) and for some reason they got crushed on the aquisition to the point where I think Matria even ended up being a take under. The two together should do well over the next year or so.
