美國500強2012十大牛股

第5名 辦公用品供應商OfficeMax公司

股票代碼：OMX

今年迄今股價漲幅：115%

市值：8.53億美元

《財富》美國500強排名：354

????辦公用品供應商OfficeMax今年東山再起，但它在辦公用品領域仍然屬于輕量級選手。

????繼木制品生產商Boise Cascade宣布計劃通過IPO籌資2億美元后，OfficeMax股價在11月份顯著上漲。晨星（Morningstar）的數據顯示，OfficeMax擁有Boise Cascade公司20%的股權和其他股票。如果Boise上市，這些股權和股票總計可能價值3.10億美元。

????這對于市值約8.5億美元的OfficeMax而言可是很大一筆錢。但在這個由史泰博（Staples）和沃爾瑪（Wal-Mart）以及亞馬遜（Amazon）這些大型零售商占據主導的市場中，這可能還不足以彌補其欠缺的競爭力。

????分析師們預計，今年OfficeMax公司的營收可能下降2%，但利潤預計將較去年增長24%。

#5 OfficeMax

Ticker:?OMX

YTD stock performance:?115%

Market cap:?$853 million

Fortune 500 rank:?354

????OfficeMax?(OMX,?Fortune 500)?staged a comeback this year, but the company remains a relative lightweight in the office supply space.

????Shares of OfficeMax got a boost in November, after wood products manufacturer Boise Cascade announced plans to raise $200 million through an initial public offering. OfficeMax owns a 20% equity stake in Boise Cascade plus additional shares that altogether could be worth $310 million once Boise goes public, according to Morningstar.

????That would be a nice chunk of change for OfficeMax, which has a market capitalization of roughly $850 million. But it's probably not enough to make up for a lack of competitiveness in a market dominated by?Staples?(SPLS,?Fortune 500)?and mass merchandise retailers like?Wal-Mart(WMT,?Fortune 500)and?Amazon?(AMZN,?Fortune 500).

????For the year, analysts expect OfficeMax to report a 2% drop in revenue, although earnings are forecast to rise 24% versus last year.
