Vertex Energy Inc (VTNR)

A snippet from MicroCap Club Blog on Vertex. It is the intro to the investor presentation linked a few posts back. This quote is a couple months old, so valuations might be slightly off.
"Heckmann (HEK) acquired Thermal Fluids in 2011, followed by Clean Harbor’s (CLH) acquisition of Safety-Kleen a few months ago. Heritage-Crystal Clean (HCCI), an industry comparable trades at over 20x 2013 EPS estimates. Vertex Energy has flown under the radar even while producing a more impressive growth curve then its larger peers. While the peer group trades at 20x 2013 analyst estimates, Vertex trades at 6x 2013 estimates, and that’s the opportunity."
