On CAPS, 94% of the 644 members who have rated Power-One believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward.
Just last week, one of those Fools, cgtombstone, succinctly summed up the Power-One bull case for our community:
Everything in the world runs on power and the type of power is never right, you AC when you need DC, DC when you need AC, high voltage when you need low, etc. Power-One makes the most efficient power converters out there, it's not just an "alt energy" play, they can save power on every device, every server farm, every house, (again) etc. Steep discount as people only see the solar side, nowhere to go but up.
