Here’s a real oddity of the investing world. With all of the stock screening tools, the numerous institutional investors, and an endless supply of analysts, it’s surprising to see how many companies produce exceptional returns and still get little to no market attention. With dozens of companies profiled here, we've only scratched the surface.

Of all the industries out there, building products has to have the highest rate of return to Wall Street coverage ratio. Most of the building product companies profiled here are lucky to have one or two analysts covering the stock.

Simpson Manufacturing Company (NYSE: SSD) may have more coverage than others. Still, three analysts isn’t exactly what you would call wall-to-wall coverage for a company that has produced a 14.5% annualized return since going public a little over 30 years ago.
