lots of faulty websites on PE... What I do know is $85.60 that printed at open is coming around again. Chart features like that are compelling.

Then there was an article about them considering divesting some assets to "appease antsy investors". It's an unclear story in any case.

My understanding is that Yahoo's TTM PE is inaccurate. Many consider ASH's PE to be the lowest of the specialty chemical industry over a certain market cap of 1 Billion or so. I don't know who to believe when it comes to the price of ASH. The inaccuracies in the PE have something to do with the various acquisition and sales in the recent past. I don't have the accounting chops to offer my opinion.

Re: #10: @MWM - Moody's cuts Ashland Inc.'s debt rating on buyout

the acquisition of hercules opened ashland up to a whole massive opportunity regarding upsells.

ashland is more of a commodities chenical provider. hercules has relationships with companies who don't use ashland for the commodity chemical supply. the supply lines exist anyway, and the sales forces are on site...

it's a serious opportunity for ashland to increase sales...a very smart move by ashland to do the acquisition.

i don't know why so many people look at the deal poorly...

Will Ashland Channel Ben Graham?

From Hard Assets Investor (excerpt):

"Benjamin Graham, were he still alive, would likely be having a field day picking through today's market wreckage for bargains. Graham, the granddad of value investing and mentor to Warren Buffett, earned a reputation for deep-discount investing in the wake of the 1929 stock market crash.

Just as there were valuable bargains to be struck in the aftermath of the '29 collapse, there are enticing buys to be made now...

Take the stocks in the Basic Materials sector as examples. This segment, made up of companies in the chemical, mining, industrial metals and forestry/paper industries, was brutalized after a five-year bull run. In just five months, between June and November 2008, the Dow Jones US Basic Materials Sector Index lost nearly 59% of its value. Only recently has the benchmark started to show signs of stabilizing.

Among the stocks contributing to the index's decline was that of Ashland, Inc. (NYSE: ASH), a company Ben Graham would no doubt recognize. Well, old Ben would recognize part of the company, anyway. Originally founded in 1918 as Ashland Oil, the Kentucky-based company is now a diversified chemicals enterprise operating in four divisions.

What Ben Graham would see now if he were looking at Ashland is a company with surprisingly good fundamentals that's been chucked into the bargain basement along with a lot of sector dross."

Moody's cuts Ashland Inc.'s debt rating on buyout
Moody's lowers Ashland Inc.'s debt rating, citing higher leverage on Hercules buyout
November 14, 2008: 02:54 PM EST

NEW YORK (Associated Press) - Moody's Investor Service lowered Ashland Inc.'s Corporate Family Rating further into junk status on Friday on concerns of weaker future performance and exposure to acquisition debt after the company bought paper chemicals manufacturer Hercules Inc.

Ashland spokesman Jim Vitak said that based on Ashland's share price Thursday, the deal was pegged at $3.1 billion, which includes Ashland assuming about $700 million in Hercules debt.

Moody's cut the chemical company's rating to Ba2 from Ba1 and said the outlook for the Kentucky-based company was negative.

The single-notch downgrade, a result of the company's higher leverage, was anticipated when Moody's rated Ashland's proposed acquisition debt in September 2008. The negative ratings outlook reflected Ashland's lower third-quarter earnings, expectations for a weak fourth quarter, 2009 and 2010 performance and the uncertainty over the global economic slowdown.

Shares of Ashland fell 31 cents, or 1.7 percent, to $17. 59. The 52-week share price ranges between $16.73 and $58.58.
