Over on CAPS, 203 of the 208 members who have rated Ampco-Pittsburgh -- or 98% -- believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward. These bulls include MattMcComb and nerd1951.

Two weeks ago, MattMcComb tapped Ampco-Pittsburgh as an interesting income opportunity:

Earnings will suffer along with the recession, but at this price it's a good deal, and their strong balance sheet will help them to get through this economic cycle and come out swinging. They'll prosper once things go up, and in the meantime, their dividend is excellent.

In a pitch from the same day, nerd1951 keeps the bull case rolling:

This company makes rollers for steel and aluminum rolling mills. These are huge and huge but precisely machined steel rollers. The two subsidiaries that manufacture rollers, one in the US and one in the UK, have done nothing else for decades. The facilities and expertise to manufacture these rollers creates a wide moat....

As the demand for aluminum and steel picks up, so will demand for these rollers as they need to be replaced more often. In addition, Ampco has 49% of a joint venture in China to produce even larger rollers. That plant is expected to come online in 2010.
