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.

I like Furmanite and I've seen their work first hand in the electrical utilities industry. What the company does is inject a liquid that stops leaks at valve bonnets. That said, Furmanite stock moves relative to oil and utility prices. Another factor that figures into Furmanite stock is hurrican...More

Furmanite's primary business is that they fix pipes and valves. Water, Sewer, Oil, Gas, Nuclear Cooling, etc. They are a small company with a global reach. Good balance sheet and getting better, income is down due to economic conditions. Management is doing nothing fancy, just building the company little be little.

A good little company providing real services to a wide range of businesses. They are currently down because the economy is down, not because of poor management, unneeded service/product, a flawed business model, or a pile of debt. They could return a 75% to 100% annualized return over the next 2-3 years when the economy picks up. They are profitable, though not as profitable as before; because their business is off like everyone else. They have a good balance sheet, with an asset to liability ratio of over 2 to 1, and a debt to worth ratio of 1 to 1. They have virtually no long term debt, and almost 60% of their assets are cash or near cash. They even pay a small dividend. As the economy starts to come back, they will be in a position to benefit by providing much needed services to many different sectors. I have taken a small position for now, and over the intermediate term will adjust it as conditions dictate. A good investment for those who are patient enough to wait for a bigger return. JMO and worth exactly what I am charging for it.

Because they will increase value in the short run but It looks like they will lose in the long run.
