Acme United Corporation: An Exercise In Patience
Despite recent underperformance versus the S&P 500, I maintain my 'buy' rating on Acme United due to its attractive valuation and ongoing business growth. Revenue and operating income have grown, with strong performance in the US and Europe offsetting weakness in Canada; profitability remains solid post-divestiture. Acme United's domestic manufacturing base and low net debt position it well to weather tariff risks and potentially benefit from industry disruption.

Small-Cap Dividend Stocks: Hidden Gems Or High-Risk Plays? - Top U.S. And Canadian Ones
Over the past decade, the iShares S&P/TSX SmallCap Index ETF has underperformed broader markets due to its heavy exposure to resource-heavy sectors like energy and materials. Acme's dividend track record spans over 15 years, with a modest but steady payout. Debt levels remain low, and management is highly focused on operational efficiency. With regulated pricing, recurring revenue, and defensive characteristics, York Water is a favorite for income-seekers looking for small-cap stability.
