Another cash flow positive company with a debt to equity ratio of 18 percent, this one serving the aerospace industry with operations pretty well evenly distributed between Canada, the US and Europe. Entrenched relationship with it's major customers, Boeing and Airbus, which together make up about 40% of the company's sales. The company’s relative small size and low liquidity put it under the radar of many institutional investors despite the fact that the company has experienced steady organic revenue growth over the last 10 years with increasing profit margins.

Another free cash flow company from my scan of the Canadian market on July 8th. Has a cash return of 3.8% (by way of comparison, the 10 year Canadian Bond currently sits at 2.03%). If you have faith in the global aerospace market this could be an interesting investment idea. Investing in the small and mid cap sectors of the market is the gift that keeps on giving in that it is generally under followed and under appreciated. Few of these stocks will be over-owned like the giant large caps that are always in the news in the states. The stocks in the small and mid sectors of the market generally have low expectations and few followers making earning surprises occur more on the upside instead of the downside.
