CAPS Rating:
*****

The Company is a prime system contractor in aircraft modernization and maintenance, Command, Control, Communications, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance systems and government services. Also supplies high technology products and systems.

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.

A crumbling empire always makes a last attempt to hold on to its sphere of influence by military force, and this is why defense stocks is the place to be in even if you believe the American economy is collapsing tomorrow.

Here is a five-star stock with at least 50 all-stars picking it to outperform, and it is within 5% of its 52-week low.

Picking this one on the numbers and recent good news.
LLL is trading near 52 week lows, $90.87/share (90.11 - 115.33) with solid value metrics (P/E 14.6, P/S .79, P/B 1.88). LLL pays a modest 1.3% dividend on a very reasonable 17% payout ratio.

RSI of 20.88 suggests that LLL is oversold. Forward earnings, per M*, put PEG at 0.8, which is very good. 5 year growth figures, per TMF are up 27% and sales have increased moderately over the last year.

LLL also recently saw a $100M+ verdict against them overturned by an appeals court.

Given these positives, I'm taking a chance on a rebound. Outperform.

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!
