I tried the SI tool you mentioned, and I turned up BARR, which looks promising.
BARR is trading for 4 15/16, it has $3.75 cash per share, it has no debt, and it is profitable every single quarter.
In fact, one rarely comes across a company selling for 1.31 times cash that has a record of earnings that looks this consistent:

BARR is a manufacturer of bomb detectors. The stock soars occasionally, whenever there is a big terrorist event in the news. Right now it is in a slump, following the last spike associated with an airline hijacking a couple of months ago.
It got beaten down even more in the last couple of days, when the co. reported that in the last quarter their revenues and earnings, while still positive, will come in below expectations due to a delay in a new product introduction. Their filings also mention increasing competitive pressure on their ASP as an additional downside.
Just the same, they are profitable, they have lots of cash, and the stock is catalyzed whenever there is terrorism in the news.
I bought it earlier this week. |
