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.

There a several issues with the company that cause me to hold off on adding it to my portfolio. Yes, it has very solid looking financials, and healthy growth rates, and dramatic margin improvements. However, on the most recent conference call (1/23/2008), management avoided questions about new custo...More

Nibbling on some investor interviews that say nonvolatile MRAM patents held by NVEC may insure a competitive advantage. Should know if they're right in a couple years.

This is a growth pick in nanotechnology. These are not really my areas of expertise, which is why I'm throwing this pick onto this secondary profile of mine. Still, the company appears to be reasonably valued even based on their current products, so if any of their new catalysts end up hitting it big, this could be quite a long-term steal. The prospects in regards to their MRAM unit are particularly promising.

For a much better write-up than I could ever give, see Wade Slome's article on Seeking Alpha:

NVEC (NVE Corp)
NVE Corp develops and sells sensors that are used to acquire and transmit data in industrial, scientific and medical applications. The uniqueness of their products is that the devices us "spintronics" (a nanotechnology that relies on electron spin rather than electron charge to acquire, store, and transmit information. I've seen pictures of these products, and they are much smaller then a fly, and some apparently weigh less then a mosquito. They have 52 patents that provides them with a moat with this technology.

Usually I avoid recommending any company who's products I don't understand fully, and I really have no idea what the competitive landscape for this company may look like in a decade from now, but I'll give this one an exception based on their great financial. This company makes a whopping 42% profit margin! That is insane! I can't think of one other company that consistently can kick out that kind of margin. Then add in their growth over the past 5 year average of 16% on their top line and 44% on their bottom line, and compare that to their trailing earnings multiple of 17 and forward estimates of 14, and you have quite a deal, especially when you consider they have $4 million in cash and no debt.

So again, although I have no idea what this may mean (from their annual report) "A limited number of other companies claim to either make or have the capability to make GMR and TMR sensors. Also, several competitors make solid-state industrial magnetic sensors including silicon Hall-effect sensors and anisotropic magnetoresistive (AMR) sensors. We believe those types of sensors are not as sensitive as our GMR or TMR sensors." I'll still be placing a small bet on this company due to the great growth rates it is experiences combined with it's incredibly fat profit margin.
