so how about ARO
Blast,
What do you think of ARO at current valuation? Joel Greenblatt has a very significant chunk of his portfolio (about 39%) invested in this one at an average price of 27.3. The stock is currently at 29.96. Any views will be highly appreciated.

Thanks

Hi vik589:

ARO is retailer of apprarals. I don't quite understand the business in this sector.

ARO valuation does not seem to be very cheap, but not very expensive either.

Greenblatt has his own criteria wich focuses on return on asset, and earning yield. ARO is high return on asset stock, which is consistant to his theory.

Here is a recommendation story from Value Investor Club on this stock:
