On CAPS, 97% of the 939 members who have rated GrafTech believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward.

Just last week, one of those Fools, All-Star joryko, succinctly summed up the GrafTech bull case for our community:

Recent sell-off presents a huge opportunity for long-term investors.

-P/B of only 0.7 and very manageable debt
-World leading supplier of graphite electrodes, make 15% of the world's supply
-No alternatives to these electrodes gives them a huge moat
-Faces competition from smaller companies, including China, who produces 65% of the world's supply
-Vertically integrated through its production of needle coke

Waiting to see a P/B closer to 1.5 before I would even consider selling this growing company.
