C.H. Robinson Worldwide, Inc. (NASDAQ:CHRW)

I do NOT own this stock in real life, but it has potential, so I am holding it here in this portfolio despite its current loss. We'll have to see how it goes.

The sales have recently been growing at about 12% per year, and the EPS has been growing about 13% per year for a few years, so it has mediocre growth. The profit margin grew last year, and the earned-on-equity grew the past two years, so that is promising. Also, the company has NO DEBT. (One of my favorite things.) The stock is selling below its historic P/E average, but the PEG ratio is pretty high, so it could be considered near fair value. The stock does pay a small dividend, which has been increased in each of the past 5 years, so that is promising.

With the small dividend, and considering that it is trading near the bottom of its 52 week range, and other positive factors, I am hoping that this stock will return me about 23% over the next year, and thus eat some into the negative balance it shows against the market on CAPS. So for now I will hold on and see if it can turn around for me, or at least show less of a loss against the market. Keeping my fingers crossed.
