Slow day, here's something interesting companies that you probably never heard of

From time to time, like to write up things. If you don't know me, I tend to post only in the daily threads, but I love to research companies and find new investments. I'm more of a GARPy investor, so I like to find the sweet spot between growth and value. All these companies listed are more for research and not saying going out to buy, but rather some interesting companies and a place to jump off from. **$TILE** Fundamentals: [https://stockanalysis.com/stocks/tile/statistics/](https://stockanalysis.com/stocks/tile/statistics/) What they do They are basically one of the largest producers of carpet and vinyl tiles for commercial spaces. They aren't really a residential company, but rather focus on things like healthcare and education. Right now the company is doing the "One Interface" plan, which they are focusing on unifying global operations to drive efficiency while targeting high-growth market segments. They are also going more into healthcare and education, which is higher margins. Also going after manufacturing efficiency with warehouse automation. The stock also pays a tiny dividend.

The company is based out of Denmark. The company fundamentals look kind of wonky, this is because company is pouring a ton of their cash flow into building new ships. These ships should come online soon. That's kind of their moat, is they have specialized ships only for the off shore wind. New ships should be coming out this year. Due to the recent political climate, Europe is looking to investment more into offshore wind.
