Iowa Telecommunications Services, Inc. (IWA)

CAPS Rating:
**

The Company is a provider of wireline local exchange telecommunications services to residential and business customers in rural Iowa, serving over 440 communities across the state.

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 corn is only as high as the elephant eye, and income plus depreciation and amortization secures the dividend, but even if it is decreased, it will still outpay fixed income and money mkt rates.


In the nebulous market we are in, this stock is a great edge and will be bought out in the future.

This company is not reinvesting enough of its profits back into its networks to improve, maintain and provide new services.

Beat this Stock

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!
