On CAPS, 97% of the 74 All-Star members who have rated RTI Biologics believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward. These bulls include udflyerz, who is ranked in the top 10% of our community, and UltraLong, the second-ranked member in all of CAPS.
Two months ago, udflyerz informed Fools that RTI Biologics' recent marriage is beginning to bear fruit: "Merger with next door neighbor Tutogen now starting to pay off. Could be a baby [LifeCell] in the making."
In a pitch from just last week, UltraLong elaborates:
Revenue growth steady at 10-13% per annum, priced well below tangible assets (almost 1/2 of actual value), 10M more cash than debt and growing earnings (about 16 times 2010), with a technically oversold condition. Did I mention they are in my favorite sector? Medical devices and implants! There is nothing not to like here with [RTI Biologics] and I think it sees $5 again with ease.
