GuruFocus Profitability Rank ranks how profitable a company is and how likely the companyย’s business will stay that way. It is based on these factors:

1. Operating Margin
2. Trend of the Operating Margin (5-year average). The company with an uptrend profit margin has a higher rank.
ย•ย•3. Consistency of the profitability
4. Piotroski F-Score
5. Predictability Rankย•

The maximum rank is 10. A rank of 7 or higher means a higher profitability and may stay that way. A rank of 3 or lower indicates that the company has had trouble to make a profit.

Profitability Rank is not directly related to the Financial Strength Rank. But if a company is consistently profitable, its financial strength will be stronger.

Guru Investment Theses on Hewlett-Packard Co

Wallace Weitz Comments on Hewlett-Packard - Apr 11, 2013

Another tarnished technology company, Hewlett-Packard (HPQ), provided a more positive experience. We first bought HPQ in the low $20โ€™s with the thought that a company with $3-4 per share earning power would trade considerably higher when negative news gave way to โ€œadequateโ€ news. Last fall, as investors chased Apple up to $700 per share on the assumption that iPads would replace PCโ€™s and make printing obsolete, HPQ fell below $12. We believed that Meg Whitman was making progress in stabilizing the company and we bought more at various prices down into the $11โ€™s. Over the past few months, we have enjoyed a strong rebound to $23 (Period ending 3/31/13), and we have taken profits in the majority of our shares. This is not our preferred type of investmentโ€”our first choice is the great (growing) business at a reasonable priceโ€”but we will occasionally indulge in this type of โ€œdeeper valueโ€ situation.

Investment Summary: Lexmark (LXK) offers a compelling opportunity at its current levels. Lexmark has been written up in the past; however, the bear case seems so prominent on the street in the pricing of LXK (24.9% short interest as of Dec. 31, 2012), that given the fundamentals and misconception of the corporate printing/imaging business, there are multiple ways to win with the company (share repurchases, going private transaction, rebound in corporate spending, etc.).

Screening for Possible Value Traps

- Screening For Possible Value Traps
Falling into value traps is one of the biggest mistakes value investors make. Value traps tend to appear cheap, but their business internals are deteriorating โ€“ the business is destroying value. We are having a very good discussion about how to avoid value traps here. We pointed out that one of the obvious sign of a value trap is declining profit margins, as seen clearly from companies like Research-In-Motion (RIMM), Nokia (NOK) and RadioShack (RSH). Read more...
