NewMarket Stock Discussion

Despite strong earnings growth, NewMarket's lower than market P/E might reflect shareholder expectations of near future underperformance. Hidden threats to earnings could be preventing P/E from reflecting positive results.

NewMarket's CEO illustrated AMPAC as a strategic asset in global safety, security, and space programs, emphasizing it's consistent cash generation, competitive advantages in vital markets, and experienced management team.

While NewMarket's high ROE may be desirable, it could be boosted by high levels of debt, posing significant risks. Preference should be for companies with high ROE and low debt levels.
