Simpson Manufacturing Co, Inc. (SSD)

CAPS Rating:
****

The Company through its subsidiary designs, engineers and a manufacturer of wood-to-wood, wood-to-concrete, wood-to-masonry connectors, SST Quik Drive screw fastening systems and collated screws, and pre-fabricated shearwalls.

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.

With the global building boom, and more implementation of earthquake safety codes, this company should continue to prosper, year after year. Very well run company with products that are critical components on every job site across the country, and eventually the world.
