Read MoreHide Full Article

Incorporated in 1978, FLIR Systems, Inc.  is an Oregon-based corporation, which specializes in designing, manufacturing and marketing of thermal imaging systems. Its products are used in a wide variety of applications in commercial, industrial and government markets, both international and domestic. The company offers a variety of system configurations to suit specific customer requirements.

FLIR’s core strength in providing reliable and effective imaging and threat-detection technologies has been bolstering its growth momentum.

Strong competition from various big and small industry players remains a threat to FLIR System’s profitability. Identification of new applications for thermal imaging depending on customer needs, coupled with development of commercial quantities at reasonable costs, remains a primary challenge.

Currently, FLIR Systems has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) but that could change following its first-quarter 2019 earnings report which has just released. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
