#6 - H.B. Fuller Company (NYSE:FUL)
H.B. Fuller Company (NYSE: FUL) - When looking for diamonds in the rough, value investors could do worse than look at a company like H.B. Fuller. You have to overlook metrics such as its industry rank which is in the bottom 13% of 250 industries, and recent consensus estimates have been negative on the stock. But from a value perspective, the stock scores on several metrics such as a PEG ratio of 0.9 which is just below the industry average of 1.6. Moving forward into 2020, the company is projecting annual organic growth of 4.5% as it has announced plans to shift its focus to products that service their markets that offer the highest margin and the highest potential for growth. With this shift, the company is forecasting revenue that exceeds $3 billion (as opposed to $2.3 billion in 2017) and expects to retire nearly 25% of its outstanding debt. At that time, the company is expecting to have a market cap of, at a minimum, $5 billion, which would put it at nearly double of where it is today.
