TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly This North American producer of packaging and tissue products recently beat earnings estimates by 50%. It trades under book value and only 7x earnings -- good value here. Its dividend is strong and growing, backed by a payout ratio under 40% of cash flow. We recommend placing a stop-loss at $8.00, looking to achieve $13.50 -- upside potential over 38%. Yield 5.3% (Analysts’ price target is $13.31)

PAST TOP PICK
TOP PICK
They'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)

HOLD
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.

This is a big player in recycle paper products and tissue. This is, historically, a very well run company. It is a cyclical business. They have a manageable level of debt, but a cyclical business should have a stronger balance sheet. They are currently suffering from tissue prices and not getting enough from recycled products, so they are facing margin pressure. He likes the company but there are better places to invest.
