This is a beautifully run company with revenues of $300 million per year. They are into anything rubber. The balance sheet has not changed in years and they recently increased the dividend. He thinks today’s current price is still expensive so would not buy it here. If you owned it for the dividends you should hold.
Rubber compounds, where they do conveyor belts, rubber automotive products, etc. The balance sheet is good, but they are in a state right now where nothing is really working their way. They are doing what they can. They are buying back shares, etc. and they still pay a dividend. Management has very little positive things to say right now. Until management improves, he wouldn't be too interested.
A rubber compounding company. The most interesting thing they do is called Flexible Products, a company they bought, which makes flexible components for cars. There has been weakness in anything to do with automobile components, because everybody believes we are at peak auto sales. Also, oil prices have been rallying, which is an input into making rubber. Rubber components are actually picking up. This is a pretty attractive Buy here.
