Current Rule 1 Worthy Scan Results

[joseph]

Is WIRE worth a look?

ROIC grwth: 5 yr=19%, 1 yr=27%
Equity grwth: 9=19%, 5=26%, 3=38%, 1=55%

EPS & Sales grwth rates on the up-and-up.

Current price= $29.45
MOS= $45.88 with a P/E=15
Drop P/E to 10 and still get an MOS=$31.27

Interesting article on it too:

I like WIRE. I struggle with weather it has a strong enough Moat though. However, in addition to the attractive price, it has ten years of nice growth numbers.

Hi,
Im still quite new to all this investing! ive ran the autocalc on WIRE and the MOS price,rule #1 growth rate, rule #1 PE, and default P/E figures are all '0'. i know there must be a missing figure or two so Excel can perform its calculations, but not sure what to put where!? Can anyone help me see the light??

Thanks!

I am not familiar with WIRE and have done little research about it, a quick glance at it shows it produces commercial and residential electrical wires.

With the recent housing crunch builders are building less homes and values in many previous "hot" areas are starting to sink are people going to put money into these houses?

Just some things to consider as sometimes looking past the numbers and getting an "outsiders" opinion can help. I know sometimes I put blinders on when I find a new stock.

Hey Maverick:

I looked into PETS earlier. This one is a no-go for me.... I don't remember the details, but it was something about the management that left me feeling real uneasy. Then, when I noted all the insider trading, that sealed it for me.

Just somebody exercising their stock options. You can't really conclude anything about a business from options exercises or sales. Many insiders have most of their net worth in a company. If they want to buy a house or something, they have no choice but to sell some stock. Buys, now they are interesting.
