As we just had another of our Magic Formula Newsletter picks acquired at 56% of gain, we are releasing the newsletter for September. This month's pick is our second pick in this industry. Our first pick in the industry is up >50% in less than three months, so it's an industry that has rewarded us so far!!!
Aside from the industry, this month's pick looks attractive on a variety of metrics. It's trading for just 6x EV / EBIT, and it's shown that those EBIT numbers are not just a flash in the pan- its EBIT number has been the same for the past six years.
However, lest you think this is some boring, no growth company, consider this: EBIT has been held back by huge legal expense. The company is putting those legal expense behind it, and one of their businesses could realistically grow 50% YoY for the next few years. Their CEO certainly seems to think so- he's mentioned a target earnings number 3x higher than today's in the next two-three years.
Add it all up and this month's pick seems to have the best of all world's- fast growth, strong earnings, great ROIC, and a firm catalyst.... all masked by litigation expenses that appear (for the most part) to be in the rear view mirror.

Upon sale completion book value will be mostly liquid cash.
