CAPS Rating:

The Company is a researcher and developer of innovative aesthetic light based systems for hair removal and other cosmetic procedures.

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.

This bullet proof distribution partnership is a shareholders dream!
I personally bought Palomar Medical Technologies shares because of their smart vision to ink an exclusive distribution agreement with Q-MED. (excluding North America)
Q-MED AB is the producer of Restylane. Restylane is the expensive...More

We are sitting 12% over a 52 week low and I can't really understand why. My gut tells me we are headed for a bounce here pretty soon. Report this Post Replies: 0 \| Reply \| Permalink Oops!

Recs 0 (PMTI) Wannabeda1 (< 20) Submitted: 5/17/08 2:43 PM : Start Price: $11.30 PMTI Score: 19.29 No debt, $7.91 per share in working capital, 6 year average eps is 0.9, book value has steady growth in each of the last 6 years. Most of all this is company is growing its international exposure, in two years should make up %50 of sales. This company is partnered up with JNJ and PG - may also make a buyout target at the current bargain valuation. Report this Post Replies: 0 \| Reply \| Permalink Oops!

Recs 1 (PMTI) Sebtor (63.91) Submitted: 5/14/08 12:16 PM : Start Price: $11.32 PMTI Score: 18.74 The stock trades at about 1,3 times book and 15,7 times last earnings. Interesting... even more interesting is the fact that Palomar has no long term debt and cash reserves of more than 4,30 bucks per share (after all liabilities are discounted). Even with the disgusting earnings of 1Q/2008 this means a trailing PE of just 10. I could continue by talking about Palomars long term growth but instead I'd like to point out, that a Palomar director bought shares of his company worth more than 100.000 $ on the 6th of May.
