On CAPS, 440 of the 470 members who have rated L.B. Foster -- some 93.6% -- believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward. These bulls include Toronian and therailsplitter, both of whom are ranked in the top 15% of our community.

In February, Toronian summed up the bull case nicely for our community: "A company tied primarily to infrastructure with plenty of room to grow. Should see some solid gains in the coming years."

In a pitch from last week, therailsplitter tapped L.B. Foster as an ignored, obscure, and "small" opportunity:

This is a stock with minimal risk. It's off the radar; it doesn't have a flashy name; it grows slowly. Nothing to write home about when it comes to this company. However, they pretty much dodged the recession and have shown excellent stability in pricing. A small cap stock like this that has shown solid long-term results with great stability is hard to find. I think this will be a great long-term company. Won't make you money overnight but you can at least sleep knowing your money is safe. They are also trading near book with about half of their share's price cushioned by a large cash position.
