AZZ Inc.: Not Entirely Shocking

Correction.. My previous comment was addressed to Buffetstyle investor and not user.

AZZ Inc.: Not Entirely Shocking

User, good questions

1) AZZ bubbled to the top-4 based on one of my multiple screening heuristics, and that's why it got called out as a stock that has done exceptionally in the downturn. It piqued my attention and if you read the article again, you'll notice that I do mention in that post that I need to analyze them further to decide if I'm going in or staying put. I analyzed it and though the recent numbers look good, I'm not very excited about its future potential for reasons outlined in this article. Hence I just added it to my personal watch-list. You should ofcourse make your decision and use your own analysis and judgement. This article just reflects my point of view and my action with this stock.
2) I use Reuters, Barrons and Morningstar for these key ratios. I trust these over Yahoo. Check out www.reuters.com/financ... to see how I got that data

Keep these comments coming. It keeps me real and helps me to think critically. In the end, it helps me just get better.

Appreciate it, user!

4 Exceptional Stocks Defying the Downturn

Paul's assessment is quite in line with mine and I was surprised by their super-low D/E ratio-- definitely can be higher.

Use your own judgement to decide though.

Peter, I was beginning to miss your delightful commentary. Thanks for your support :)

The fact that you read all my articles (despite always claiming they are not useful to you) all the time, is fantastic to see.

FWIW, if you'd understood the article you won't be asking this question. Maybe, a second read?

Good for you. You should share your findings with the community more often. Time you gave something back to us, hey who doesn't like a 300% profit. BTW, did you also discover the other 3 stocks really early?

If you had paid attention to the last part of this article, you wouldn't be complaining about the lack of numbers. BTW, my analysis of ABAT also got posted on SA earlier today. Seems like celebrations are in order!
