Potlatch Corp (PCH)

CAPS Rating:
****

A real estate investment trust with 1.5 million acres of timberlands in Arkansas, Idaho, Minnesota and Oregon with a taxable REIT subsidiary that manufactures forest products.

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.

Potlatch has an excellent portfolio of timberland, and is positioned to profit from increased demand for lumber and paper, as well as related forest products. All this, plus they have a great balance sheet.

PEG is out of control (4.94), growth is being outpaced by aggressive market buying. Oh what a price people will pay for a dividend...
After the 4th quarter spin-off, don't expect PCH to grow any more, or to become any more profitable. Revenue in the last 5 years has been essentially flat, which could mean that market pressure and inflation could further tug at the bottom line.

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!
