Better Buy: CalAmp Corp. vs. General Electric
It's been a banner year for CalAmp (NASDAQ: CAMP) shareholders. With its stock up 38% and coming off a sound, if not spectacular, fiscal first quarter, CalAmp is rolling. And with fiscal second-quarter results on deck -- CalAmp CEO Michael Burdiek and team are scheduled to share financials Sept. 28 -- most are expecting another solid quarter.
Industrial giant GE's (NYSE: GE) 2017 has been the polar opposite of CalAmp's. After reporting what was widely viewed as a disappointing second quarter, GE stock is down 20% year to date. GE's poor performance of late would seem to indicate CalAmp is hands-down the better buy, but don't be too hasty: There's something to be said about value and a strong dividend, both of which apply to GE.
