On CAPS, 98% of the 527 members who have rated Sutor believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward. These bulls include ArgoNate and All-Star mrindependent, who is ranked in the top 1% of our community.

Two months ago, ArgoNate kindly helped Fools keep a steely eye on Sutor:

Steel is the sector to be in. China is the place to be. … [T]hey'll grow fast, and expanding sales to the U.S. and other countries will be a bonus beginning over the next year or two. Steel is one of the most volatile sectors over the long-term, and this is a chance to buy it at the bottom.

In a pitch from this past Monday, mrindependent expands on the stock as a particularly solid selection:

I like Sutor Technology Group because this manufacturer of steel finishing products operates in China, is modestly profitable and sells for less than book value. This company has $102 million in net debt (i.e. debt minus cash). This debt load seems sustainable based on the value of the company's receivables and inventory. The company is expected to earn $0.30 for fiscal year 06/10 and $0.50 for fiscal year 06/11. I am encouraged by the $2.77 stock price.
