buying the dip and it pay a divy

low PEG, strong price uptrend

5 STAR, Small-cap, dividend payer

Nice dividend and low price.

Strong earning, strong demand.

This a cyclical play in a solid commodity chemicals company - simple proposition - increased economic activity = increased consumption of commodity chemicals. Trading >20% off 52 week high with reasonable forward P/E ratio. Pays a 3%+ dividend to boot.

I like them better than Dow Chem. They also pay you to hold their stock.

Looks good, may benefit from stimulus construction, etc. we'll see..

Leading supplier worldwide of carbon black and other stocks for manufacture of steel and aluminum, as well as creasote for railroad ties and utility poles. Good cash management and cost controls leave KOP able to grow its business by M&A or organic opportunities and still maintain and above average dividend. Extremely low PE, relative to both KOP history and the market.

The price-to-earnings multiple is a low 7.3. And the dividend is a solid 88 cents per year, out of strong earnings per share. So the yield is 4.4%. In other words, Koppers will pay for you to wait and hold the stock.

Is there a downside? Of course, in this stock market, we have seen that bad things can (and do) happen. But the bulk of the Koppers sell-off came in the September and October drop. Then, hedge funds were bailing out and selling everything they could unload to raise cash and meet margin calls. That seems to be over.

And Koppers appears to be holding its own in a tough economy. It sells a critical set of goods - poles and ties - to indispensable industries - electric and rail. The time seems right to take a look at Koppers and decide if you want to get paid 4.4% while the U.S. builds out its electric power grid and rail lines in the next decade. If any kind of basic industrial companies ought to do well going forward, Koppers is one.
