As of Jun 16, 2026. Market Open.
Won lots of contracts during pandemic, huge tailwind. Multiple has pulled back. In current environment, countries are spending more on gas masks, overboots, etc. Absolutely believes demand will pick up. Large contracts to be won, but the bid process has lots of moving parts. Quite bullish on the name.
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.
This does rubber compounding solutions, like repairing treads, conveyor belts, etc. They bought a defence products company recently. None of those businesses are really working out too well. This is more of a macro growth issue. He likes it from a value perspective, but now with the recent weak quarter and the management outlook, it hard to find much to like about the company. It could be used as a tax-loss sale, and look at returning in 6 months’ time when management outlook starts improving.
