On CAPS, all 26 of the members who have rated Engility believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward.

Earlier this month, one of those Fools, All-Star TMFDeej, tapped Engility as a particularly special bargain opportunity: "Keeping an eye on this spin-off from L-3 communications. Yes Engility was loaded up with debt, yes the Defense sector is a tough one to be in, but this stock is cheap enough that if [Engility] can manage its business properly and pay down its debt it could be a big winner over the next several years."

If you want market-topping returns, you need to put together the best portfolio you can. Owning exceptional stocks is a surefire way to secure your financial future. Of course, despite its five-star rating, Engility may not be your top choice.
