Companies in bizarre business areas with low debt will come out of the current financial mess smelling like fertilized roses. Kadant seems to be a strong candidate. Historical prices and earnings suggest that this company is a cyclical, booming and busting as recycling goes in and out of fashion. How anyone could have paid a PE of 60 for this company is beyond me, but hey, them was the days, right? Todays numbers seem much more in line with what I would expect. Heck, we might even get lucky and see brighter days ahead for recycling profits. If so, this could be a market thrasher, not just a decent stock in a tough time. I like their low debt, their steady earnings, and their share buybacks. Heck, the more I look at the numbers here, the more I like these guys for my real world port.
