This week’s Microcap Information Arbitrage Weekly Wrap-Up is ready — spotlighting the most important developments across our 1,500+ microcap coverage universe built since 2009, including high-impact earnings reports, information arbitrage discoveries, contract announcements, and model portfolio updates. We also highlight insights from our investor and CEO interviews (Skull Sessions).

One of the more interesting stories we’re following is a 100-plus-year-old manufacturer of boilers and heating equipment that most investors would probably consider a boring industrial stock. For years, the company traded at a low P/E multiple and below or around book value. Investors had plenty of reasons to overlook it, including legacy liabilities and a complicated corporate structure.

When we first highlighted it, our thesis was that management could unlock significant value by simplifying the business. The company had already begun selling noncore subsidiaries and winding down inefficient operations, while taking steps to clean up its balance sheet.

Those changes are now showing up in the numbers. What started as a value trap has evolved into a quality deep-value opportunity and is now beginning to look like a growth story, yet the stock is still valued much like the old business.

More on this highlight below
