ASH recent earnings report via S & P 2011 "Q1 (Dec) operating EPS of $1.20, vs. $0.91, well ahead of our $1.05 estimate.
Sales expanded by 6% and EBITDA margins
widened by 100 basis points."The CEO also reports that ASH expects higher margins in 2012 due to expense reductions and higher profit margins on new investment in International Specialty Chemical a personal care product maker. I think ASH looks like a promising investment for 2012.
