The Company:
Has a strong brand name.
Strong management lead by one of the co-founders of the company.
Arnold Palmer as the face of the company.
HR is something that is a necessity for any business and targeting small and medium businesses allows owners to focus on other things rather than mundane HR stuff.

The Fundamentals:
200 million in the bank (~30% of market cap).
No debt.
Positive free cash flow since at least 2004.
12% insider holding.
P/FCF of 6.02
Buys back stock and pays dividends.

Valuation:
Short term there are probably rough times ahead for Administaff. But this is a solid company with a great brand name that should have no problem rebounding when times get better. A great value at this price.
