On CAPS, 97% of the 125 members who have rated RBC believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward.
Just last week, one of those bulls, fellow Fool Andy Cross (TMFOpie), succinctly summed up the bull case for our community:
It's all about ball bearings these days. RBC makes super highly engineered bearings for its aero, military and industrial clients. It often makes these to spec after years of working with the clients. Big after market business too. There is pent up demand for these kinds of services and RBC is a small-cap set to benefit. Outperform 5 years, through any cycles that pop up.
If you want to retire rich, you need to put together the best portfolio you can. Owning exceptional stocks is a surefire way to secure your financial future. Of course, despite a strong five-star rating, RBC may not be your top choice.
