On Our Radar: Official CPI numbers come out today, which will signal how fast the Fed will cut interest rates, and so how optimistic traders should be.

This Under The Radar Stock Will Do Well No Matter What Happens In The Next Four Years

Editor’s Note: Every Tuesday, Benzinga Edge members receive the Under the Radar pick, detailing a very profitable stock or market trend that no one’s talking about. Here’s a sneak peek at yesterday’s:

Here is a company that exemplifies skin in the game – the co-founder CEO owns 34%, and the co-founder VP of Manufacturing holds 30%. They started this business in their twenties back in 2000, and they have built it into a remarkably efficient cash flow machine.

Is it an exciting business? Not at all.

But it’s paying a solid dividend above 4%, recently increased by 14%, and should yield over 5% going forward. And the limited analyst coverage suggests big earnings increases over the next year that should lead to a higher stock price.
