TheStreet Ratings rates Trinity as a

buy

. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its robust revenue growth, growth in earnings per share, solid stock price performance, increase in net income and notable return on equity. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company has had generally poor debt management on most measures that we evaluated. You can view the full
