The P/E of Tessenderlo good with 11.4 and the P/B is also good with 1.3 which gives a go from Graham. Earning to sales are so, so with 6% and the ROE is on the low side with almost 12% while the book to debt to book ratio is acceptable with 0.8.

Hi. Long time, no see. I still am a fan of Tessenderlo. Underappreciated stock and way down from their ATH. But better diversified, better capitalised, better managed than ever. I don't think they will ever pay dividends, he rather keeps investing. Bought gas power plant, looking to build new one...

Hi Garry! It has indeed been a long time!

I agree on the dividends. He will use it to expand the business and I do not mind him doing that.
