Omnova Solutions (OMN)
Hi everyone...
The other day I was looking at Gurufocus.com to see what some of the Value Investing "Greats" held and I saw this company, omnova solutions. From just looking over it briefly it seems to be rather unremarkable, but maybe I'm missing something. Let me know what you guys think of it.

Thanks Jared

Hi jls1224,

Just quickly look at this stock OMN OMNOVA Solutions, this looks like a cheap stock.

Its enterprise value to EBITDA is below 10, and price to sale is low. This stock has quite bit of insider buying as well.

By the way, don't be fooled by PE of 49 printed in Yahoo finance. In value investing world, the printed PE does not mean that much because investors in many cases have to adjust this public PE to obtain real true normalized owner's PE, which could be dramatically different from printed PE in Yahoo finance. I usually just ignore PE metrics in my quick review.

In summary, without deep research on it, I am actually quite impressed by this stock OMN.
