On CAPS, 98.5% of the 69 members who have rated Cambium believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward. These bulls include All-Star pseud, who is ranked in the top 3% of our community, and jed71.
Two weeks ago, pseud schooled Fools on the stock's tasty risk/reward trade-off:
Very thinly traded stock that almost nobody follows. Their trailing figures have a lot of one-time items that make the numbers look really bad. ... Looks dirt cheap even if no growth happens. Any future growth is a bonus.
In an earlier pitch, jed71 touched on the tailwinds working in Cambium's favor:
While health care and "green" initiatives have gotten a bunch of press, I don't believe many investors are paying attention to the education play. This is one of the top 3 initiatives of the current administration, and you can bet they will be throwing some big time money in its direction. ...
Since Cambium products / services support pretty standard learning initiatives (reading, writing, math, and language), it seems evident that these are the types of initiatives that will receive continued scrutiny from a testing and success standpoint. Cambium seems pretty well aligned to capitalize from this higher level of focus on education.
