McAfee, Inc. (MFE)

CAPS Rating:

A supplier of computer security solutions designed to prevent intrusions on networks and protect computer systems from a large variety of threats and attacks, offering two families of products, McAfee System Protection and McAfee Network Protection.

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.

Consistently beating earnings estimates and making smart acquisitions that will help their growth prospects (i.e. SafeBoot). Furthermore, their products are starting to get an edge on Symantec (in my opinion).

Recs 0 (MFE) xfranco4bcn (92.43) Submitted: 2/13/08 9:26 AM : Start Price: $34.45 MFE Score: 3.10 Not only is computer security a key area in the globalised Net, but it also needs of industry leaders that consolidate and set the future of this industry. I think McAfee is consistently doing better thant its counterparts, specially through a better and more aggressive product distribution, so I expect it to get a bigger share of this growing market. An estimated 2008 PE below 20, consistent earnings growth, and a share buyback of $750M are foundamentals supporting the decision. Report this Post Replies: 0 \| Reply \| Permalink Oops!
