Aaron Rents, Inc. (RNT)

CAPS Rating:
**

The Company is a specialty retailer of consumer electronics, computers, residential and office furniture, household appliances and accessories. It engages in the lease ownership, rental and retail sale of a variety of 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.

As the buying power of the dollar continues on its downward slide, I believe companies like Aaron Rents will continue to see revenue growth.





With the dollar able to buy less and less, renting something is the new way to buy. From housing, to cars, to, in Aaron Rents' case...More

The numbers all look right. Almost everything I love about a company is here. Management is experienced and loves the company. The Financials are all crisp as a dollar bill. So why the thumbs down. Its the sub-industry. Rent to own and specialty retail and expansion do not coexist well. And in a more general way home furnishing retail is not a good long play.I know this is a beloved darling right now, but when the analysts tell you to buy... its usually because they have already bought.

Will underperform in the near term but is a great buy at its current 52 week low stock price.
