On CAPS, 81% of the 84 members who have rated Superior believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward. These bulls include fellow Fool Rich Smith (TMFDitty) and yooperking, both of whom are ranked in the top 10% of our community.
Late last month, Rich touched on Superior's first-class fundamentals: "Superior balance sheet, superior free cash flow, superior value -- the name says it all."
In fact, Superior currently sports a cheapish price-to-cash flow of 8.2. That represents a discount to other auto parts plays like BorgWarner (NYSE: BWA ) (20.3), Johnson Controls (NYSE: JCI ) (37.2), and Tenneco (NYSE: TEN ) (11.9).
CAPS member yooperking expands on the outperform argument:
Superior Industries is the highest yielding stock (3%) of the Auto Parts Industry stocks in Value Line. The dividend is almost a rock solid guarantee since the company has absolutely no debt. The company designs and manufactures highly stylized aluminum and steel wheels that do wonders to enhance a vehicles appearance and should remain in strong demand.
