LDR: Landauer Radiates Strength
My latest column is up at RealMoney as part of my Wallflower series. Wallflowers are stocks that have little or no analyst coverage from Wall Street and may thus be hidden gems.
Landauer (LDR) is a leading provider of radiation detection monitors to hospitals, medical and dental offices, universities, national laboratories, nuclear facilities and other industries in which radiation poses a potential threat to employees.
Its services include the analysis and reporting of exposure findings using proprietary technology licenses expiring between 2011 and 2015, and patents expiring from 2017 through 2024. The company has a $525 million market capitalization and coverage from just two Wall Street analysts.
Here’s how the stock scores along the models I consider:
- Earnings momentum: Positive
- Earnings quality: Positive
- Price momentum: Positive
- Free cash flow: Neutral
- Return potential: Neutral
Disclosure: At time of publication, William Trent has no financial position in the companies mentioned in this article.
