5i Research Answer:
CIA is cheap at 13X forward earnings and a 4% yield. Top line growth is in the high single digit range but earnings are expected to see higher growth. There is a fair amount of debt on the balance sheet but the company is profitable and the debt load looks manageable. The company's prospects will be tied to broad economic strength and metals prices but overall we think CIA looks fine.
