Pitch:
– Cheap building products company in the process of a strategic review.

– Comp was acquired at 13xEBITDA vs 7.4 fwd valuation for GFF.
– Well-positioned to compound value if no sale scenario.
– Key garage door business segment (70% of EBITDA) is most likely an acquisition candidate in a hot sector.
Valuation:
– Trades at 7.4x forward EBITDA, 14% FCF yield.
