CAPS Rating:
*

The Company is a developer, manufacturer and supplier of printing and imaging solutions for offices and homes. Its products include laser printers, inkjet printers, multifunction devices, and associated supplies, services and solutions.

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.

Lexmark is a leader in printing technology, and will not easily be dislodged. It increases R&D spending every year, and owns a lot of important patents. Share buybacks are likely to continue.

At $37 a share, LXK is a nearly no-risk buy.

It deserves far better than its current...More

Agreeing with the "HP is the better product" crowd.

This company has a very flawed business model in the inkjet category. Lexmark is clearly losing share to HP as their inkjet shipments are declining and HP’s are climbing. The latest earnings release announced 6% drop in revenue, in line with Street expectations, and investors bid the price up 7%. Such a gross overreaction to a poor business model will have long-term shorts plaguing this stock over the next three – four quarters. The caveat is a buy-out where Lexmark's business segment can complement another company's, and the purchasing company can sell off the inkjet unit for scraps.
