The company is currently priced at only five times earnings, compared to 37 times among its sector peers. The shares trade below book value and at only four times cash flow. The last dividend payment yielded 3.8%.

We like this small company due to its strong balance sheet with little debts only, its profit growth rate of nearly 20% over the past five years, and its relatively low valuation. The chart looks promising with a recent buy signal from its MACD indicator. A price increase of 20% until the end of this year should be very likely.
