[This] recent sale/spinoff of Quanex ...in our opinion positioned [Quanex ]for growth. Although Quanex has significant exposure to the residential market, we [think QBP is] prepared to endure the downturn, and...benefit when housing rebounds. A strong balance sheet...combined with $270 million credit facility have positioned QBP to be a consolidator during the downturn. We believe acquisitions combined with organic growth will [be of] benefit...in the next up-cycle. We believe investors should focus on Quanex's [fiscal] '09 outlook rather than F08.... E2009 [earnings-per-share growth] is 46% and price/earnings ratio, 12.4 times. Target: 21. Market cap: $675 million

The stock has a P/E of 11.93, a PEG of 0.81, and a yield of 1.3%.

Modern Graham: We believe the company has potential to reach $57/share in the next few years.

They make building products, luckily I sold before the housing industry tanked. A company bought them out when things were good, so I got 1/2 cash and half NX shares, but the buying company bought kept the part of the company that I liked so I sold the rest just befor the collapse.

not much happening
