Huge new facility is coming onstream, and fundamentals in containerboard are more solid than in the very competitive tissue market. Facility over budget, so will take a while to get a return. Focused on debt reduction.

Likes it, though shares have been down the past year. They fixed their operational issues. Demand remains strong in container board, and they opened a facility in Virginia which could raise margins. They sold their European division, so are more streamlined in operations. Pays around a 4% dividend. Still likes it.
Michael SprungThey've been hit by a lot of input costs, which may be easing now. It's hard to raise prices on tissue paper and costs have been rising on recycled fibre. Their new container board factory will operate soon. CAS is selling at the low end of its range historically. But be patient until the stock price doubles or even triples.
(Analysts’ price target is $9.83)

It is a large free cash flow story. It is at an inflection point. There is still a lot of upside on this one. We just saw a big increase in container board pricing in North America. He thinks they will use their free cash flow to pay down debt. He thinks at some point it could be taken over.
