Otter Tail Corp (OTTR)

CAPS Rating:
*****

The Company has interests in diversified operations that include an electric utility, plastics, manufacturing, health services, food ingredient processing and other businesses.

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.

Cramer has a very large audience that hang on his every word. Whenever Cramer does a segment on a company you can usually expect a bounce the next day. Infact you can bet on it.

The BOOYAH bounce is magnified when the stock is obscure and has low trading volume.

If Otter Tail were only a utility, it would be boring -- not necessarily bad, but boring. However, it holds a number of businesses, making it a strange holding company PLUS utility. It's profitable, sports a juicy dividend, and is small enough to have ample room for expansion. Average volume is under 200,000, so it will get kicked hard by the news -- good or bad. All in all, a lovely little stock.
