Re: TRN

Many of their business segments are cyclical and some are in that down cycle (Energy equipment). So based on BV, debt and operating expenses, I am surprised they can remain profitable. The value proposition (to me) is a reversion to the mean for both revenues and EPS if/when those segments see higher sales.

I like the sector and as PaulSr mentioned is TRN one of the larger companies so will have staying power in the down turn.

I have been wrong in the past and will be wrong in the future but for me an OK value Buy if I can get at my price point.

For this company and many of the cyclical companies, good to look at a 10 year chart to better reflect profitability in both good & bad times.
