[OHB] Sergio .. Got Press at Forbes. [snip] Actually, that's a good term for Orleans Homebuilders (amex: OHB - news - people ), Overseas Shipholding Group (nyse: OSG - news - people ) and Schnitzer Steel Industries (nasdaq: SCHN - news - people ). It's also probably one of the reasons why they typically trade far below market multiples. No exciting high-tech flash and bang. But, they have grown at a good clip--Orleans, for example, has made the Forbes 200 cut three years running. And, they've consistently made good money--putting up suburban-housing communities, running tanker loads of crude oil around the world and crunching automobile carcasses into scrap and finished-steel products, respectively. forbes.com By The Numbers Company Forbes 200 Rank Price*/P/E Current Price/P/E*** 52-Week Range Orleans Homebuilders (amex: OHB - news - people ) 7 $21.70/9 $19.35/9 $15-$29 Overseas Shipholding Group (nyse: OSG - news - people ) 72 57.30/13 $55.81/10 31-66 Schnitzer Steel Industries (nasdaq: SCHN - news - people ) 31 28.50/10 $34.45/7 23-39 P/E: Price-to-earnings ratio.
