Seaboard is a company most people have never heard of, but it's also one all investors should know. The company is very conservatively managed and is engaged in "boring" industries such as food processing and maritime shipping. However, one look at its financials will leave value investors druelling. The company sports a PE ratio of 6.9, a price to sales of 0.7 and a price-to-book of 1.5. The price is high at 1,300 per share, but that's only because they have adopted a Buffet-like philosophy of no splits. Patient shareholders will be rewarded with consistent market-beating returns.
