This week, one of those Fools, XMFConnor, tapped Ingram Micro as a particularly clear bargain opportunity:
Largest Net/Net in the market. Wholesaler of electronic products. Trades at less than 4X EBITDA, generated $277 mm in earnings [trailing-12-month], which is less than 10X P/E. Not too complicated here. Net/net that is profitable and growing value. Outperform.
