Hamung - agree with your sentiments on NST and their board.

I do my own financial analysis and my last analysis rates them at 12.75 out of 15 and they've rated consistently that high for the past 3 years. Out of the 50 or so companies I've analysed for much of the past 4 years the only company with a higher rating was MLD in FY15 with a score of 13.25 out of 15. 

Regis Resources also rated high the last time I analysed them in FY16 - also at 12.75

Those scores are determined metrically from financial ratios and similar calculations eg gearing level, net profit margin, ROA, ROE, current ratio, quick ratio, P:B ratio, EPS/Yield, cash to debt and some others. 

Other companies that rated well through my analysis and I like are (out of 15):

NST  12.75 (FY18)

RRL 12.75 (actually FY16 haven't done to FY18 yet)

A2M 11 (FY17)

CTD 10.25 (FY18)

MND 9.75 (FY18)

MLD 9.75 (FY18) - were 13.25 in FY15

HVN 9.75 (FY17) - some risk here from increasing internet sales etc

CWN 9.5 (FY18)

SLR 9.5 (FY18)

FLT 8.5 (FY18, were 10 in FY14) - have good penetration in various markets eg China so I see massive upside. Plus they have $1.2B in cash and no debt

FNP 6.5 (FY18, were 10 in FY16) - I'm cautiously optimistic on these guys because if they keep their gearing low their capital intensive strategy should pay off

Those ratings were done at one specific time - so now those scores would have changed a little based on share price changes.  Also, although I like them of course I will only buy them at a certain price level - so I'm not telling anyone to jump in and start buying.

Best you sell to help force the prices down so others can accumulate.. haha just kidding!
