Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly WOR is a value added steel processing company with an international footprint. It makes things such as propane and oxygen tanks and other cylinders. Recently reported earnings beat expectations by over 20% and support a ROE of 28%. It trades at 6x earnings and under 1.5x book -- good relative value here. It pays a nice dividend, which has grown for 12 consecutive years, and is backed by a payout ratio under 25% of cash flow. We recommend a stop loss at $30, looking to achieve $55 -- upside potential of 25%. Yield 2.77% (Analysts’ price target is $55.00)
