| Sharek’s Take | ||
 Catamaran (CTRX) plunged after it lowered 2014 earnings estimates. 2014’s estimate is now $2.16, down from $2.46 last quarter. That’s a big shortfall, I don’t even want to research why there’s going to be a shortfall — Excuses!!! The stock’s lucky I’m sticking with it, but I’ve held the shares since 2004, bought in at $11. Again, the stock’s lucky I’m sticking with it. |

| One-Year Chart | ||
 This chart is now pointing down. Estimates of 7% and 4% profit growth the next two quarters aren’t good. The Est. LTG just fell from 27% to 24%. For this stock to be a value, the P/E would have to fall into the teens, but it’s not. |
||
| Earnings Table | ||
 Last quarter, things were good. Sales increased 36%, profits 44%.CTRX beat by 2 cents. Annual Profit Estimates took a big hit. Now the company is set to make $3 in 2016 — it was supposed to make that in 2015. Quarterly profit growth looks abysmal. |
||
| Fair Value | ||
 This stock used to be worth 30 times earnings. But growth was so good 2009-2013. Now only 8% profit growth is expected this year. Meh. |
||
| Ten-Year Chart | ||
 The only good thing about this report is the stock’s at the bottom of its trading range. But I think CTRX will be dead money this year. |

I’m so pissed at Catamaran’s management right now. This used to be such a good company to own. Get it together, the stock’s lucky I’m sticking with it. CTRX is ranked 25th of 26 stocks in the Growth Portfolio Power Rankings. Of course CTRX isn’t in the Aggressive Growth Portfolio. |
