Investors Bancorp, Inc. (ISBC)

CAPS Rating:
*

A holding company for Investors Savings Bank, which attracts deposits from the public and originates mortgage loans secured by one- to four-family residential real estate and consumer loans.

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 stock's premium price is a mystery. Today, with a market cap of $1.6b, Investor's Bancorp:

- Pays no dividend
- Trades at 15.6x sales with a 103.5x P/E and is PEG'd at 8.3x
- Has inline margins of 21.7% Op, 14.7% Net
- Inline revenue of 10.1% TTM
- Returned 1.8% to Equity, .26% on Assets
- Has seen Operating Cash fall every year since '05

Saving grace is lack of debt and decent geography, but would need a monumental increase in earnings to justify anything close to today's price. Institutions control only 26.75% of float. This is a prime short candidate.

They are overdue for a decent-sized correction. Too much valuation for too little of earnings.

In anticipation of the eventual rebound of the financial sector. A little early for bottom feeding, but I am just indiscriminately putting all stocks that are tagged S&L.

Clicking "Beat this Stock!" will bring you to a company with a higher rating than the one you're currently viewing.

Even though CAPS shows only one- to five-star rankings, behind the scenes, all companies in CAPS have a distinct numerical ranking. In other words, there is a No. 1 stock in CAPS and a worst-ranked stock in CAPS. When you arrive at the top-ranked stock, clicking "Beat this Stock!" will cause the page to refresh.

That is, until there is a new No. 1 stock!
