Domtar Corp (USA) (UFS), GrafTech International Ltd (GTI): Four of the Best Stocks Offering Good Value

Losses will continue to pile up for several years after, but so will its commercial capacity. The company offers low-margin ethanol producers the ability to retrofit production into higher value isobutanol, which sells for more than $4 per gallon. At a valuation under $100 million, investors should do quite well if Gevo, Inc. (NASDAQ:GEVO) can continue to make progress and put obstacles behind it.

I know I just wrote an article arguing against looking at shareholders’ equity to guide investing decisions. I know that investing in graphene is riskier than it looks. But you don’t have to look at GrafTech International Ltd (NYSE:GTI) as a pure graphene play. The company is one of the world’s largest manufacturers of graphite and carbon products. Similar to Domtar Corp (USA) (NYSE:UFS), GrafTech International Ltd (NYSE:GTI) has been faced with shrinking margins of late. Even if margins fail to improve from current levels (graphite materials remain in strong demand), consider that the company is trading with a valuation of just under $1 billion despite offering $1.35 billion in shareholders’ equity. I believe the lowly market cap has more to do with temporary problems — not long-term trends. Besides, analysts have a great history of underestimating operations: The company has four consecutive quarterly beats of at least 19%.

Foolish bottom line
These are just snapshots of four of the best stocks offering good value. You can use this as a starting point for your own research or the creation of a new watchlist, but remember to do more diligent research. Everyone has a different appetite for risk and different ideas for the companies they want to own. That being said, I plan on creating a position in each of these companies by the end of the year.
