Stock Pick 12/11/2007: FRD
Steel week continues today at the Casual Investor with Friedman Industries (FRD). The fundamentals for Friedman are indicative of excellent growth potential. Let's take a quick snapshot: P/E is 8.70 and P/S is 0.23, for an average price-to-income ratio of about 4.465, which is excellent. The price per share is currently $6.36, with a 52-week low of $6.05 and a high of $12.89, so there is swing potential in this stock. Also, the market cap is only $43.96M, making this a small cap. It even has a dividend of 3.70%. Steel's a strong sector, and its product sales are totally unaffected by investor panic. The price of the stock, however, is affected: it has gone down in response to the recent Fed decision, which was seen by many as weak. FRD is a small but strong steel company with a dividend and excellent growth potential. This is a strong buy in the current market. 2007-12-11 21:54:03 GMT
