WPK is a bit of a 'sleeper'. It has $450M net cash, and is 53% owned by its parent. The stock is cheap. Looking at consensus estimates, EPS growth is really expected to slow down, and is essentially going to be flat next year. Expectations are for sales +5% and EPS to go from $2.33 to $2.34. Assuming nothing else happens, it looks like the 'ramp up' is likely over.

(A Top Pick January 8/18 - Down 1%.) Part of the industrials that experienced massive multiple contraction. Earnings are growing. Lots of cash on the balance sheet. Still like it a lot.
A good growth story over the past decade, growing without issuing new equity. The packaging space has been challenged the past two years though. He wouldn't enter this space now, but it's okay to hold WPK for the long-term. Pays a 0.26% dividend only.
This business makes small acquisitions that are incremental. They have high margins and high returns. They think very long term. He does not think it is properly appreciated.
