On CAPS, 97% of the 1,662 members who have rated Joy Global believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward.
Earlier this month, one of those Fools, Nehams, succinctly summed up the bull case for our community:
Joy Global isn't sitting on its hands while the Chinese mining markets take time to revive. It is hauling up operations, improving margins, and cleaning up its balance sheet. In short, a leaner and stronger Joy Global is on its way, to arrive bang on time as the markets pick up. Takeover rumors are getting hotter too. At a P/E that's close to its 5-year average, long-term investors should see a lot of value in this company when business cycles turn.
