Readers of this space know that the investment bias is toward large-cap companies with demonstrated business models and who have a competitive advantage in established markets, preferably with a favorable global trend as a support. But every once in while an exception is made for a non-conforming but innovative/promising company, and along this line Checkpoint Systems is worth a review.
Checkpoint Systems, Inc. (NYSE: CKP) manufactures electronic article surveillance systems, radio frequency tags, electronic security devices, closed-circuit TV systems, and electronic access control systems used by retailers.
Analysts like the fact that Checkpoint is well-positioned for the U.S. economic slowdown: about two-thirds of CKP's revenue stems from international sources. Analysts are also encouraged by a re-acceleration of longer-standing product lines, and the continued growth of CheckNet. A blue chip clientele adds to the revenue mix.
