PMC industry is dying. The world is going paper-less. This is reflected by Albany's steadily declining revenues, and an industry peer declaring bankruptcy in 2009.

This firm has debt issues. The interest coverage is low, and will likely keep falling. $.36B of LT debt maturing within 3 years. Albany has some liquidity, but the majority of current assets is inventory, recorded at cost. (inflated), and they have just shy of $.1B in cash. This much debt maturing soon with limited liquidity and no profitability should raise concerns.

Albany has only underperformed the market by 5% over the last year, and has had a massive price run up in the last 3 months. Perfect timing to short a troubled company in an unattractive industry.
