"Adams Resources & Energy is a crude oil marketing, transportation, and storage business. The company also transports liquid chemicals and dry bulk in the U.S. and Canada. Operating results are influenced by fluctuations in oil prices and the volume of oil purchased and sold. Adams has an impeccable balance sheet with no debt and cash equal to 90% of its market capitalization. We believe the company sells at a discount to the value of its infrastructure, real estate, and net working capital."
