Confident Investor comments: At this time, I think that a Confident Investor can cautiously invest in this stock as long as the price is correct. Most of the fundamentals of this company are good but there are some concerns. I am leaving this company on my Watch List since it is one of the few manufacturers on the list. Please be a bit more cautious with this company though since the performance last year was not quite what it should have been.

If you would like to understand how to evaluate companies like I do on this site, please read my book, The Confident Investor.

Confident Investor comments: At this price and at this time, I do not think that a Confident Investor can confidently invest in this stock. I know that some people invest in this company as a “green” play but I cannot sanction that strategy. Also, even though the company’s target stock price is higher than it is currently trading, I cannot recommend this stock as a confident investment.
