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 players 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.

Sales have been fairly flat for the past 7 years, so in this area, RTN is nothing to write home about. However, EPS has risen in each of the past 4 years, so that is a good thing. The profit margin has increased in each of the past 4 years. The ROE has also risen in each of the past 4 years. The...More

The current conditions indicate there's still some positive momentum with RTN, but I've got a gut feeling that the intl financial scene is going to put RTN is a hard place, and profits are going to be hard to squeeze out of either the foreign or domestic markets. In this case, I rather hope I'm wron...More

Reasonable P/E with decent dividend and good diversification of businesses - most of which are necessities and recession proof. When there are no wars the pentagon will stop being a customer; whenthere are no fishermen and air travellers the maybe this management team will look to doing something differently - but at the moment they are leaders in most of the fields they do business in.

RTN may be hot now, but its a poorly managed company who plows very little into their own R&D. I'm betting the first small-defense president like Clinton will have this stock right back where it was in the Clinton era at $12 a share.

That is, until there is a new No. 1 stock!
