This stock has a great PE, decent industry, solid enough market cap to resist HUGE swings, and a PEG ratio sitting at 0.86 or so. This is severely undervalued, the only guess work is at what time will the general market realize this.

Rated a buy from the Street as well as S&P.

Full disclosure: I purchased this roughly five minutes ago.

The stock has been retarded by the threat of lead paint law suits from paints made decades ago. Now that that is removed, the upside potential improves.

Of course, paint tends to be tied to housing starts, autos, and heavy metal equipment sales. That is probably a bit slow now (but equipment and farm implements might be OK). But there is also a counter cyclical component as some will take the time from less overtime or shorter hours to do home fix-up/repair projects like painting the house.

I agree completely. This could also be a safer play on a market turnaround as well, if housing should ever come back. It will operate fine regardless, but is in a good spot to benefit as well.
