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.

Many thanks to Alyce Lomax. After reading her article, I did some research on Coach and was blown away by their financials. This is the type of company that can do well during the good times and survive through the bad.

Standard and Poors gives the stock a fair value of $47, which is $13 higher than it's current level. They also give it an investability quotient percentile of 98/100. While I think their price target is too high, I do believe this stock is reasonably valued for a long term holding.

Earnings were down in 2009, but that is to be expected from a retailer in this environment. 2010 estimates predict record profits from the company.

Within the financials themselves, I found the following numbers:

Current assets 3x larger than current liabilities. This number is crucial during recessions.
Long term debt at $25 million, while cash alone stands at $800 million. This number is so bizarre that I had to check several sources to make sure it wasn't a typo.
Retained earnings looking great except for a bizarre number in 2007 which I can't account for yet.
A buyback of 60 million shares over the last 5 years.
Growth in revenue in each of the past 5 years, almost doubling during that time.
Net income growing in each of the 5 years except for 2009. I'm willing to forgive a slight drop in earnings during a year like that.
Dividend initiated during 2009, a year in which many companies decreased or eliminated theirs.
71% gross margin.
19% net margin.
Long term debt/equity of 0.01
Trading at 3x sales.
11% payout ratio.
38% return on equity, a staggering number for a company with little debt.

This one will be a real life purchase the next time I have some real life money.
