On CAPS, 93% of the 346 members who have rated Sierra believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward. These bulls include robertshrestha and gipsytim.

Earlier this week, robertshrestha listed several of Sierra's positives: "Nice forward P/E, huge net cash position, great play on growing wireless world, wide range of target markets adds diversification. What's not to like?!"

In fact, Sierra boasts a comforting debt-to-equity of just 0.2%. That's much lower than that of competitors like LM Ericsson (21.4%), Motorola Solutions (31.6%), and Siemens (60.8%).

CAPS member gipsytim expands on the outperform argument:

Everyone wants to be connected to the Internet and no one wants dialup. Sierra Wireless makes USB aircards that allow those in the rural area to ditch the dialup modem for 2G and 3G speeds (4G if you're in an urban area). Sierra Wireless has products with all the major telecommunications providers ... so they are relatively unaffected by mergers.
