Over on CAPS, 1,372 of the 1,383 members who have rated Sun -- or 99% -- believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward. These bulls include my fellow Fool Matt Koppenheffer (TMFKopp) and All-Star cclogic77, who is ranked in the top 7% of our community.
Two weeks ago, Matt tapped the stock as a tasty income and turnaround play: "Solid dividend and just a generally all-around well-run company. Will take its lumps during the slowdown, but its strong balance sheet should help it see the other side."
In a pitch from one day earlier, cclogic77 uses heavy All-Star support to help support the bull argument:
This popped up in a screen for companies with over 200 all-star outperforms and 5 or less all-star underperforms. Further inspection revealed great financials and a bright outlook. No debt and very little liabilities, strong cash flows, and very strong earnings growth over the past 5 years. The current economy presents a great buying opportunity.
