How much would Warren Buffett pay for a low-tech business producing $2.3 billion in income? Now change the "b" in billion to a "m".
GLGI generated $2.265 million in income in 2013. The business has a market value of only $9.76 million (fully-diluted basis at $.36 per share). This comes out to a earnings yield of 23.21 percent, which, of course, translates into a PE of 4.3.
The savings is irrelevant. Management will actually be stealing the business from tendering shareholders.
Those with degrees from the Cox School of Business are generally pretty sharp.
