=================
American Vanguard Corporation, through its subsidiaries, engages in developing, manufacturing, and marketing specialty chemical products primarily for agricultural and commercial uses. The company manufactures and formulates chemicals for crops, human, and animal health protection. Its chemical products include insecticides, fungicides, herbicides, molluscicides, growth regulators, and soil fumigants in liquid, powder, and granular forms. American Vanguard Corporation also sells its products for pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and nutritional markets. The company was founded in 1969 and is headquartered in Newport Beach, California.
=================Making pesticides and insecticides may not sound like an exciting business, but American Vanguard has made it plenty profitable. The company earned 79 cents per share, or $22.1 million, in 2011 -- double the profits of the year before. During the first six months of 2012, profits jumped another 59%, to $17.5 million, or 61 cents per share. Analysts expect double-digit growth for the next two years at least.

The reason: American Vanguard has a virtual lock on the market for some pesticides that have proven particularly effective in combating rootworm, the current scourge of corn farmers. The company also has a delivery system -- the "smart box" -- that reduces farmers' exposure to the toxic chemicals they must apply to the soil to kill the bug. Eventually, chemical companies may come up with genetically engineered seeds that are better resistant to pests, but that could take years.

In the meantime, analysts project, American Vanguard's earnings should grow at a blistering 29.5% annual pace over the next few years. At $32.81 (as of November 1), the stock sells for 22 times projected 2013 earnings of $1.52 per share, a reasonable price-earnings ratio in light of the projected earnings growth. Gabelli & Co. analyst Amon Wilkes believes the stock will sell for $43 by the end of 2014.
