The setup
CLST is a $1.4B-market-cap specialty chemicals platform with three things going for it that the market hasn't priced.
Thesis
Cash conversion is the bull case. The compounding rate is the bear-case bound.
Risks
Key-supplier concentration in two of three product lines. Mitigated by long-dated contracts.
