Recs
GrafTech International Ltd. (EAF) is a small company that specializes in electric arc furnaces, helping steel manufacturers use this process as efficiently and effectively in their business.
The company has positioned itself as a technology leader with more than 150 patents and patent applications.
EAF works with steel customers around the world and has experience with steel furnaces in more than 50 different countries.
In addition to providing its own expertise and licensing the patented technology, EAF also provides specialty graphite electrodes that are used in the furnaces.
These electrodes allow the electric currents to pass through the steel perfectly to provide the best efficiency and the highest quality final product.
Selling the electrodes to customers around the world allows EAF to generate recurring revenue from the different steel plants that it serves.
And as manufacturing picks up following the coronavirus crisis, business should increase sharply!
That's why EAF makes for such a great buyout target right now.
As the entire world ramps up manufacturing, steel demand is surging.
Meanwhile, the Biden administration is pushing for more environmentally responsible standards across many industries here in the U.S. (This is a global trend that is changing the way steel is produced from Europe to China and everywhere in between).

FROM Massif Capital 2019Q3 letter:
PROS:
EAF is trading at 4x earnings and has a 22.4% free cash flow yield.
The threat of Chinese production of graphite electrodes is on par with those produced by EAF is limited by their inability to consistently produce high-quality petroleum Needle Coke, a significant bottleneck that is under appreciated by the market. Most Chinese electrodes are made from a needle coke derived from coal, which is not equivalent to needle coke derived from petroleum. Petroleum needle coke, the precursor to electrodes that Graftech uses, requires decant oil (sometimes called Fluid Catalytic Converter Slurry) from a petroleum refinery, and the refinery needs a dedicated needle coke coker
CONS:
US-China Trade War puts downward pressure on businesses related to steel and copper
Geopolitical uncertainties
Recession
Graftech shares a similar majority owner to Teekay Offshore in Brookfield Business Partners (BBU).
