NewMarket: Still Attractive After Its Share Price Run

Summary NewMarket continues to deliver robust free cash flow, maintaining a ~7% yield despite a challenging market and a 7% volume drop in Q1. NEU's Q1 revenue fell 5% to $680M, but disciplined cost control limited gross profit impact. Q1 EPS was $12.62, down 5% year-over-year.

I maintain a "buy" rating on NEU, citing resilient cash flow, attractive yield, and a strong balance sheet, despite rising interest expense risks. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha
