Investors have seen multiple examples recently that demonstrate how
quality industrial companies can bring in buyout offers at valuations
above what I believe most analysts would calculate as fair on a
stand-alone basis. Over the past three months, Gardner Denver, Edwards Group (EVAC), and Kaydon (KDN) have all accepted deals that I believe fit that pattern.
That brings me to Graham Corp (GHM).
I love the idea of a company that holds strong market share in
engineered-to-order ejectors, condensers, heat exchangers, and pumps,
not to mention one that produces good returns on invested capital
without overwhelming institutional ownership. On the other hand, shares
are up more than 80% over the past year and it's tough to find a metric
under which the shares are cheap. With that, I believe these shares are
already baking in some degree of takeout premium, though I intend to
keep it on the watchlist in case it sells off at some point.
