*****

The Company provides water and sewage services to 367 municipalities in the State of Sao Paulo either under concession contracts or under another form of legal arrangement. It also provides water services on a wholesale basis.

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.

Not much could be less exciting than the business of SBS, which is being a water and sewage provider in Sao Paulo, Brazil.

There are ~230M shares (50%+ owned by the State of Sao Paulo) and they just earned ~1B BRL (as of the end of March, 1 USD = 1.75 BRL) in 2007. At $45 / share, that works out...More

At $34.77 feel free to sell all of your belongings and bet the farm on SBS, you won't regret it. At this price it will be at least a three bagger in the next six years.

I'm giving it a outperform rating based upon past performance, but I have concerns. There is an argument to be made for nationalization of essential utilities, or at least the limitation on profit. And, water, that most essential of commodaties, seems to me to be the area where social limitations on price and profit are most likely to be made. Might capital investment be put at risk by these concerns?
