Solid company with strong balance sheet. At $22 per share it is trading at less than half tangible book value. 3% div., low debt, 7.2 p/e. Beta @3.2 is more volitile than I like but I still think I will pick up a few shares in my real portfolio.

Low p/b ratio, low p/s ratio at .62. Stock has a high beta but most of the volatility has been to the upside. Still has room to grow. Analysts are saying $31. That may be higher depended on future merger/acquisitions that may take place in this industry.
