Stock Price: $13.00 (long-term strong buy)

Empire Resources engages in the purchase, sale, and distribution of aluminum semifinished products in the U.S., Canada, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand. The company serves the transportation, automobile, housing, appliance, and packaging industries.

Right now, the demand for aluminum is strong across several industries that ERS serves. ERS hit a high of $64.20 less than two months ago. The stock dropped due to concerns over profit not growing as fast as revenue. Revenue grew 24% in Q1 while net income rose 9%.
