Weight Watchers International, Inc. (WTW)

CAPS Rating:
**

A consumer company, which provides weight-loss services around the world. It conducts business through a combination of company-owned and franchise operations.

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.

A unique "product" (meetings) even in the crowded world of weight loss. Tons of customers as society tells women at every opportunity they are overweight. Lots of repeat customers. Ironic. 68% owned by insiders. CEO Huett's compensation at $1.2 million and has exercised $4.1M in options with $9.7M l...More

H.L.Mencken said no one ever went broke underestimating the taste of the American public. Add "for fried food" between "taste" and "of", and WTW is a money pump.

Clicking "Beat this Stock!" will bring you to a company with a higher rating than the one you're currently viewing.

Even though CAPS shows only one- to five-star rankings, behind the scenes, all companies in CAPS have a distinct numerical ranking. 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!
