Cubic Corp (NYSE:CUB), another top holding for the Fund, is a small company with about $1.1 billion in market cap that has three main businesses: military communication equipment, military training (for example, they run the Top Gun flight school), and in our view the most interesting part is its transportation segment. The company's transportation segment is the world leader in design and management of public bus and subway systems, handling the fare systems for major cities such as London, New York City, Chicago, and Vancouver. Cubic is also leading technology efforts, such as smart phone payments and dynamic re-routing, to help keep us all on time for work.
The company meets all of our requirements, with low (and declining) financial leverage, highly visible means to compound earnings and book value growth. And, at $43 per share, we think the stock is very under-valued, with upside to north of $60 within a couple of years.
